SmugMug/Zenfolio/Flickr Export-to-Lightroom Plugins Released

The export plugins for Lightroom 1.3 that I mentioned here and here have now been released:

Unfortunately, I came down with a cold yesterday and I got word that I could release these just an hour before heading off to the doctor (I leave in 15 minutes), so I may have screwed up something in my rush to get these links out. We'll see.

In any case, expect a lot of version churn at the beginning, as bugs are flushed out...


The 30 most-recent comments (out of 61; see all), most recent last...

Have you looked into creating an export to Kodak EasyGallary? This is built into Adobe’s Bridge and I really miss it in Lightroom.

Hi,
Thanks for the Picasa plug in for Lightroom. Is there any possibility that you could create a plug in for uploading to Costco’s site for photo printing

Hi Jeffrey,

I need help BADLY. I am a GREEN person – not an energy saving type – in knowledge about the use of downloads. Yesterday I downloaded Jeff’s Flickr dodad, found it on my hard drive in a subfolder of Lightroom1.3.1, tried to bring it into lightroom with no success. Flickr in Lightroom is greyed out. Somehow I redownloaded Lightroom 1.3.1 and could no longer open up Lightroom – error message ” see further instructions for missing…”. Panic set in. I wnt to Adobe web site and saw that there was a Lightroom 1.4.1 available for download. Did it and was able to open Lightroom – all seams to be O.K. However, I still have greyed out Flickr. The download is still on my harddrive along with Lightroom 1.1, 1.3.1 and 1.4.1 – as far as I am concerned, all garbage – I thought that when one dowloads a revision the old version is replaced – not so with Adobe. IF SOMEONE CAN HELP ME I would be most appreciative. I need hand holding and a detailed walk through.
I would like to Export from the Lightroom Library module directly to my Flickr pro- account, after any adjustments have been made – in a small size, without having to send to a spot on my hard drive – which I later can not readily find.
THANKS in advance to whomever can help me. NOTE: I am going to place this site in my favorites and also set up an RSS – wish me luck.

I love the Flickr plug-in – you are a god! I second the request for a plug-in to upload to Costco. Then life would be complete!

First and foremost, you are amazing. I hope EVERYONE has dropped something into Jeffrey’s paypal account. 🙂 no matter how small…

I am a REGULAR user of the flickr & facebook plugin’s. I am a user of phanfare as well, and they provide that.

I do print at Costco and would welcome that if it was ever added. Not sure how that would work out, but just thought i would mention it. Not so sure enough people use it, but just thought i would mention it.

Again, thank you so much for your had work on this. you truly have provided something that makes my life easier and makes digital photography a little easier to manage.

Shawn

Thank you very much for your efforts. I am about to test it as there has been a big disconnect between Lightroom and Flickr. I like Lightroom but have some scratching my head moments in it as there are still many things missing important to photographers just a nice image fame with text without workarounds would be nice and should have been in 1.1 at the latest. Another good head scratcher is why it is named Photoshop as well but you cannot get it packaged with Photoshop. It has nothing that I can tell in common with Photoshop other than the same company developed it. Must be an Adobe marketing thing to latch on the brandname recognition. I thought for sure I would be able to purchase in one of the too many Adobe product suites.

I, too, dislike the “Photoshop” name, because Lightroom is so very different than Photoshop. But they do share one very important point, and that’s the Adobe Camera Raw rendering engine. This means nothing to you as a user if you use only one or the other, but it can mean a lot if you use both (Photoshop can see your Lightroom changes “as is”, without the need for a quality-reducing intermediate render). As for the “should have been in version 1.1 at the latest” comment, everyone has feelings about what’s important to them, and so no one will be happy, ever, with the mix of features unless you realize that it’s a balance. Try to imagine, hypothetically speaking, that Lightroom was actually developed by humans. If that were the case, there would be limits on how much time each person could spend each day (24 hours), and so they’d have to actually pick and choose what, from the infinite number of features people hope for, which to implement. They’d also have to choose between development and distractions (like eating, sleeping, spending time with their children). —Jeffrey

I’m using this plugin thanks very good

am using your Flickr exporter and it works great, but what does it do with the local copy of the resized image? I would have thought it would use the same instructions in the original Lightroom Export code which allows you to choose the Export Location. This code seems to be missing in the Flickr Exporter…

It’s there in the LR2 version of the plugin. It’s not possible in LR1. —Jeffrey

Writing from Portland, OR, USA.

Can I add another vote for a Costco plugin? That would be hugely useful…

Hello,

Just wondered if the Costco plugin for Lightroom could be modified to work for Costco.ca?

Thanks from your Canadian friends

I don’t know of any Costco plugin, sorry. —Jeffrey

I get the same error as “Springtian” but not with Flickr but with zenfolio.

“An internal error has occurred: Win32 API error (unknown error — FormatMessageW failed) when calling HttpSendRequest from private_AgHttpClient_post_L”

When I have multiple photo’s selected for export this error occures after the first one is uploaded (the first photo of the batch is uploaded to zenfolio since I can view it but the others are not uploaded). maybe this helps find the problem

Well, some ask for a costco plugin, even for costco canada, i just found one, still working on LR 2.7. There wasn’t any update since february, but it is still working: http://alloyphoto.com/plugins/export-to-costco-canada/

Sorry Jeffrey but someone beat you on that 😉

I would have never gotten around to do it… I’m quite happy to have others in this space. That’s Vladimir Vinogradsky, and he’s got a bunch of good ones (check the Lightroom Exchange; there’s a button to visit it in the plugin manager). —Jeffrey

Another vote for a Fotki Lightroom plugin, please. Fotki is a great service, and it would be wonderful if I could export to it directly from Lightroom. I am trying your Facebook plugin, and it seems excellent. I will be sending you some Paypal cash shortly. Please consider adding a plugin for Fotki. It would be so worth it for me to pay for such a plugin, since I have more than 70,000 images there, and growing! Thank you.

— comment by Steve on July 8th, 2010 at 12:05pm JST (13 years, 10 months ago) comment permalink

I know you said Fotki needs an API before you can write a plugin. Are none of these considered API’s? I’m sorry that I don’t know: http://downloads.fotki.com/

No, those are downloads, not APIs. They do seem to allow FTP, so maybe Tim Armes’ FTP Publisher plugin will do the trick. —Jeffrey
