Techniques Developed Over Two Decades

Having done all of her own graphics, illustration, and photo editing from the very beginning, EA has developed an oft-emulated design aesthetic over the years that, whilst having wild variation (from Victorian inmate to vengeful showgirl to Bowie-esque androgyny), maintains a cohesive style throughout that is recognized all over the world.

Extreme Versatility

These presets have been tested on hundreds of photos and a wide variety of skin tones, then tweaked to perfection to offer something magical to each.
It is certainly preferable to use these presets on RAW format high resolution images, but they can be used on ordinary JPGs to great success.

The easiest method is to install the presets on your desktop version of Lightroom CC first, as they will auto-sync to your Lightroom CC mobile app.
However, if you are ONLY using the free Lightroom app on mobile and don't have the desktop version, no worries! It's a little more complicated, but follow along and you'll be up and running in less than five minutes.

If using your computer, unzip the files and pull the "Mobile" folder into your favorite cloud-based storage app, such as iCloud or Google Drive, so that you can access the folder from your phone.

If you are downloading the Presets directly on your phone, unzip the main folder and locate the "Mobile" folder inside.
In either case, now that the Mobile folder is on your phone, open your Lightroom app.
Navigate to your Library section, and add a new Album. This is where your presets will go.
Name the album something descriptive like "EA Presets" so you can easily find it later.
Click this new Album folder. Once in, click the three dots on the upper right corner. A menu will give you the option to "Add Photos." Click on this.
Choose "From Files" on the next menu (unless you have imported the files into your camera roll, in which case select "From Camera Roll" and skip the next step).
Find the "Mobile" folder on your phone where the DNG preset files are. Select all six files inside by clicking the three dots at the top of your screen, clicking "Select," and then tapping on each of the six files.
Click "Open." The DNG files will now appear in your new folder as photos. Now we have to make presets from these photos.
Tap on a photo. Tap on the three dots in the upper right corner of your screen. Tap on "Create Preset."
Give your preset a name (we recommend using the name of the photo, i.e. "EA Opheliac Preset").
Tap on "User Presets" below the name field. Scroll down to the very bottom of the menu that appears. Tap "Create New Preset Group."
Enter "Emilie Autumn Presets." Tap the checkmark.
Tap the checkmark at the top of the next screen. You will see a message telling you that your new preset has been added. Smashing!
You will have to repeat this process with each DNG file, making a new preset for each and adding them to your "Emilie Autumn Presets" folder, which is tedious, but so worth it! (You see now why it's so much simpler to import into Lightroom on desktop and auto-sync.)
Now, let's go wild! Navigate back to your Library and select an image that you would like to edit. Swipe left on the bottom menu until you find "Presets." Tap on this.
Scroll down and locate your "Emilie Autumn Presets" folder. Select one of the presets inside this. The preset is instantly applied to your photo! We made it!

Now you can tap on your photo to reveal a slider. Using this, you can adjust the strength of the preset.

Often, this will be enough to get the perfect photo. But every photo is different, and you will very likely want to customize the preset further to accommodate this and bring your own unique style into the mix.

Either way, tap the checkmark at the bottom of the screen.

You now have the full selection of tools available to edit every aspect of your photo, using EA's settings as a starting point.
