Why Organize with Folders?

As you create more presets, your library can quickly become overwhelming. Folders help you group related presets together, making it easy to find the right preset for any situation. Whether you organize by style, project, client, or use case, folders keep your workflow efficient.

Creating Folders

1. Look for the Folders box and click the + icon next to it (you'll find this on the Dashboard or My Presets page)
2. Enter a name for your folder
3. Click Create Folder

Moving Presets to Folders

There are several ways to add presets to folders:

From the Preset Details Page

1. Click on a preset to open its details
2. Click Edit Preset in the Actions box in the sidebar
3. Select a different folder from the dropdown
4. Click Save Changes

Drag and Drop

Drag a preset card and drop it onto a folder in the sidebar to move it instantly.

Folder Organization Strategies

Here are some popular ways photographers organize their presets:

Renaming Folders

Downloading Entire Folders

Need all the presets from a folder? Click the download button on any folder to download all presets inside as a single ZIP file. This is great for backing up your work or sharing a collection with others.

Folders in Lightroom

When you download presets from Hyperfocal, they include metadata that creates a "Hyperfocal" preset group in Lightroom automatically. If you want to further organize within Lightroom, you can create subgroups there as well. See our Lightroom Classic installation guide for details.
