Unzip your files
Files by Google allows you to extract and view contents of compressed files.
Note: Only .zip files are supported.
1. On your Android device, open Files by Google .
2. On the bottom, tap Browse
3. Navigate to the folder that contains a .zip file you want to unzip.
4. Select the .zip file.
5. A pop up appears showing the content of that file.
6. Tap Extract.
7. You’re shown a preview of the extracted files. If you want to delete the .zip file
after extraction, select the “Delete ZIP file” checkbox.
8. Tap Done.
9. The extracted files are saved in the same folders as the original .zip file.
Digital files on Etsy are compressed with ZIP because Etsy only allows 5 files per listing
to be added. You can use any zip app to unzip downloaded files.

4. HOW TO INSTALL LIGHTROOM PRESETS
IN:
FREE LIGHTROOM MOBILE APP (.DNG FILES)
With the release of the free Lightroom Mobile App, editing on the go has become more
popular than ever. Even though its still missing several capabilities found in the desktop
versions of Lightroom, its still a powerful tool you can use to edit while away from your
computer.
Thankfully you CAN install and use your presets in the Lightroom Mobile App.
STEP 1: UNZIP THE FILES
The first thing you will need to do is unzip the folder of presets that you
downloaded. You can easily do this on a computer. On a PC, just right-click on the
zipped folder and choose "Extract All" from the menu of options. On a Mac, just double-
click the file and Mac's unzipping utility does the rest.
If you need to do this step on a iPhone or iPad, just tap on the zipped file and it will
unzip. If you need to do this on an Android phone, you will need to download the Files by
Google or WinZip app (Android app) to your phone.
STEP 2: SAVE THE PRESETS
If you unzipped the presets on your computer, you will need to save the preset files to
your favorite cloud storage option, so you can access them on your mobile phone. You
will also need to be able to allow access to those files on your phone through that same
cloud storage app.
If you unzipped the preset download on your phone, you can skip this step. Make sure
you know where the unzipped files are located on your phone or device.
STEP 3: OPEN THE LIGHTROOM MOBILE CC APP
This step is really easy. Just open your free Lightroom app. Once its open, you can add
the DNG/Preset files (next step).
STEP 4: ADD THE DNG/PRESET FILES
To add a preset, click on the (...) Settings option in the top-right corner of the app.
Choose the Add Photos option.
On the next screen, choose the location you will be pulling your DNG/Preset files from. If
you have saved them to your phone, choose "From Camera Roll". If you have saved them
to a cloud storage option, choose "From Files".
Select the DNG/Preset files you would like to import. This step may be a little different
depending on your mobile phone, however most phones offer a way to select multiple
files/images.
NOTE: Preset files are DNG files. When you initially open the image, you may get an error
that says, “Cannot Load File”. This is normal. Press the check mark in the corner anyway.
STEP 5: CREATE LIGHTROOM PRESETS FROM
THE DNG FILES
Click on one of the newly imported files, then click on the three dots inside a circle in the
upper right-hand corner of the screen. From there, choose “Create Preset” from the
menu that appears.
Give your preset a name. We recommend to type the same name that is on the front of
the preset image (to keep things simple).
You should also put the preset in a Preset Group. By default, it will be in the User Presets
group. Creating a new group with your new collection’s name will keep the presets from
each collection together.
Do these same steps for each DNG/preset file.
USING YOUR NEW PRESETS
Now for the FUN part!
Select an image in the Lightroom Mobile App that you would like to edit. Swipe left on
the bottom options until you see "Presets" and tap on that option. It will open with your
most recently used preset collection. By tapping on the collection name, you can choose
the new collection you just installed.
Click through the presets until you find the one you like. When you are finished adding
your preset, click the check mark in the lower right corner.
