A set of default presets are listed in the Presets panel of the Develop module.

Create and apply Develop presets

Presets provide a way to save a group of settings and apply them to other photos. Once you create and add a preset to the Presets panel in the Develop module, it remains there until you delete it. It also appears in the list of Develop Settings that you can select when you import photos

Presets you create are based on the current settings of the selected photo.

1. In the Develop module, click the Create New Preset (+) button at the top of the Presets panel or choose Develop > New Preset.
2. In the New Develop Preset dialog box, click Check All to select everything or click Check None to deselect everything, and then click to select each of the settings you want to include in the preset.
3. Type a name in the Preset Name box and click Create. The preset is added to the list in the Presets panel in alphabetical order.

Adobe Lightroom: Share presets between computers

Copy the preset or the preset folder to the other computer.
