This article contains information on adding templates to your Darkroom software. In Darkroom you are able to add third party templates to the software; you can also add templates that you have created outside of Darkroom software.

Requirements:

You must be using  Darkroom Professional, Darkroom Assembly, and/or Darkroom Core. Your templates files must be in the CRD format.

Instructions:

1. Open your Darkroom software
2. Open My Computer in Windows
