It's very easy.

--- How to install the Adobe Camera Raw Pixel Expand BW Portrait Presets ---

1. Download the BonusAcrPresets.zip (this name can change) file from the download page or email we sent you

2. Unzip the BonusAcrPresets.zip and any other zip file containing the presets. You will find inside several files as for example "PE-Portrait.zip". Do not unzip these files. Adobe Camera Raw and Lightroom require the import of a Zip file in order to create a proper presets structure in your application.

3. Open Adobe Camera Raw from within Photoshop (same works for Lightroom).

4. Go to the Presets icon and enter into the Presets section

5. Press the three dots menu in the upper left corner (in the Presets panel)

6. Choose "Import Profiles & Presets..." menu

7. From your hard drive select the PE-Portrait.zip (or the Presets pack you want to upload) file (this is why you did not unzipped it)

8. The presets will be visible inside the Presets Panel with the name PE - Portrait

9. Click on the title PE - Portrait and hover or click on the preset you like the most
