LR Classic Question

[Alexandria]

I am trying to understand how LR presets work. They are supposed to be a one-click thing but when I take and click on the preset, I get absolutely nothing alike. Am I missing something? Do I have to turn the photo B&W or desaturate or do something else before I add preset? Couldn't find any info or wasn't wording it right.


My photo of elephants into the tones of these Sweet Girl presets .... comes out nothing alike
