Lightroom Classic:

2. In the Develop module, apply your desired adjustments and edits to the photo.
3. On the left-hand panel, find the Presets section.
4. Click the “+” icon located in the upper-right corner of the Presets panel, and select “Create Preset.”
5. In the “New Develop Preset” dialog, give your preset a name and choose a folder to save it in (either an existing one or create a new one).
6. Select the settings you want to include in the preset by checking the boxes next to each adjustment. This way, only the adjustments you want to apply to other photos will be saved in the preset.
7. Click “Create” to save the preset.

Lightroom CC:

1. Import and select the photo you want to work with.
2. Apply your desired adjustments and edits to the photo using the editing panels on the right side.
3. Click on the “Presets” button located at the bottom of the editing panels.
4. In the Presets panel, click the three-dot icon in the upper-right corner, and select “Create Preset.”
5. In the “Create Preset” dialog, give your preset a name.
6. Choose a group to save your preset in (either an existing one or create a new one by selecting “New Group”).
7. Select the settings you want to include in the preset by checking the boxes next to each adjustment. This way, only the adjustments you want to apply to other photos will be saved in the preset.
8. Click “Save” to save the preset.

Now your preset will be available in the Presets panel, and you can apply it to other photos by simply clicking on it. Keep in mind that you might need to make minor adjustments to individual photos, as the same settings might not work perfectly for every image.
