Please do not report bugs or other comments related to my plugins here. Please do those on the appropriate per-plugin page (linked from my Lightroom Goodies page).
Was wonder what the chances are you would be making a plugin for deviantART.com Would love to to be able to post directly from LR2 to deviantART
Unlikely, sorry, any time soon. —Jeffrey
I’m curious if you’re working on a export plug in to Apple’s iWeb and Gallery?
I’m not, sorry. I somehow expect that they wouldn’t want to provide a developer’s account for me to do it with… —Jeffrey
I have LR 2.0 and love your flickr plugin. Problem is it takes FOREVER to export photos. DO you have any tips as to size, quality etc. I usually export about 250 photos fora model to review on flickr so they don’t have to be big or high qaulity. I am going from RAW to JPG and think that is the bottleneck. Like 170 photos are taking several hours to export and upload to flickr.
Running a three year old HP laptop (2MB RAM) and the photos ARE on a USB external hard drive. Running XP.
Appreciate any suggestions. Hate to move the photos off the external hard drive as that is where I keep them. (small laptop HD is why).
Thank you.
The bottleneck is almost certainly the upload part, but you can test it for sure by exporting to local disk and see how much faster it is. To minimize the upload size, you need to minimize the file size. Of course, that means setting the image width/height to as small as you can handle, and lower the quality to the minimum that’ll suit your needs. Also, use my metadata wrangler to remove metadata you don’t need (such as the embedded thumbnail). —Jeffrey
Thank you so much for your work with these . They are all great and very useful. It’s a shame about the iWeb/MobimeMe account.
Cheers!
Hi Jeffrey,
I love the SmugMug uploader, has completely redefined my work flow!
Do you have a paypal account or somewhere I can donate money to for your time and effort on this addon!
Cheers
Laurie
I do, but it’s sort of hidden here. There’s also a small button in the Plugin Manger for it. Thanks! —Jeffrey
How do I make the plugin upload the original photo to Flickr without making any changes to it, besides having the keywords go with it? I want to use Flickr for archiving/safe storage as well.
Select ‘Original’ for the image format in the Export Dialog. —Jeffrey
Jeffrey, I turned of all the extra settings, set image format to ‘original’, no keywords and uploaded to Flickr. When I downloaded the picture, it was 5k bigger. This doesn’t happen when I upload using Flickr upload, I get the same exact file back. Any clue what the difference is? Sorry for being so picky.
The lack of keywords is likely one of the known issues I ask that you read before commenting. I don’t know why it would be 5k bigger, except to guess that perhaps they add in the keywords and caption/title, etc., that the plugin sends along? I dunno. —Jeffrey
You’re a good man. Thanks.
I’m a WinXP user, but my daughter swings the other way … Mac OS X / Mobileme
As far as I can tell, there is no direct route to upload from Lr to Mobileme Gallery.
(am I wrong? I hope I am. The only route I see is Lr –> iPhoto –> Mobileme)
If you are in any position to fill that void, I would encourage you.
regards,
Gary
Any change of an Mpix export plugin?
Hi Jeff,
I’ve come across your plugins and am very impressed. I was wondering if you know of any plugin out there that will allow me to import my customer’s selected photos from Smugmug into Lightroom. My workflow is below:
1. I upload all of my original proofs to Smugmug
2. The customer purchases the photos they want
3. I receive a “PROOF” list from Smugmug containing all of the files they selected (sometimes very large)
4. I go back into Lightroom and manually select these photos, flagging them as “Picks”
5. I make my adjustments, export, and replace the photos with the polished versions
Since I photograph many weddings, sometimes my clients select hundreds of photos to purchase. I spend a great deal of time in Lightroom manually selecting each photo so I can isolate them to retouch. I am wondering if there is any way to somehow transfer that info from Smugmug into Lightroom to automate the process, save time, and reduce errors. Thanks!
Hi, sorry if I’m writing down here, but I didn’t find a contact on the blog. Is it possible to suggest you anothere online service that needs one of your export plugin? It’s Gallery2, an opensource gallery script without a working plugin for LR2 (a couple for LR1 seem to be discontinued). It could be possible to see an export solution for this software too?? Could be great! sorry if I’m asking too much however
and great job!
Gallery2 official website: http://gallery.menalto.com/
I can give you access to a server with gallery2 installed to make the plugin working if you need. Let me know!
regards,
m.
Hello,
Firstly, thank you very much for you plugins. Secondly, did you read about Pixelpipe (http://pixelpipe.com/)? It sends your files to dozens of photo sites.
Apparently it uses Flick API (http://pixelpipe.com/api), so, I was thinking that a plugin would be great (and not too much work).
Thanks.
Hi Jeffrey, I have a question about lightroom 2. I hope you don’t mind me posting this question here. I am trying to add captions to slideshows in LR2. I cannot seem to activate the “text template editor” . There is no triangle next to the ABC button as mentioned in the Module help. I am probably missing something simple but If you or anyone else have any suggestions it would be a big help. I apologize if this is not an appropriate site for posting this question. Actually if you know a good site for trouble shooting (discussion etc) I could ask there. By the way I love you smugmug plugin! Thanks, Dave
P.S. I hope you had a good trip to Vancouver. Its my home town.
P.P.S I am using a mac
I’m using the newest Smugmug export plugin and I wondered why it seems to take so much longer then the version for LR1.4.1. I used to be able to upload 10 RAW files in about 5 minutes but now it takes about that long for each file. Nothing has changed other then upgrading to LR2 and getting the latest Export plugin (which I love btw). Any ideas? Has the export changed significantly with LR2?
Thanks.
Hi, I figured that slideshow problem out. There was not enough room in the toolbar pannel to display the text box (to the right of the ABC button) for the text overlay. sorry for posting here. Dave.
Hi Jeffrey,
just want to say thank you very much.
this is really great, i love your flickr-plugin (and maybe the zenfolio-plugin soon)!
keep up the good work – i’m going to donate for sure!
greetings from munich,
filip
Hi Jeffrey,
do you plan to develop MobileMe plugin for both: MAC OS and Windows?
regards,
A Text export plugin would be nice. Similar to what Photo Mechanic can do and with all the Tokens/Variables available.
A new line for each image. Something like
{YYYY}-{MM}-{DD}_{Title}
Thomas
Nice work – but ever thought about an Alamy (www.alamy.com) plug in? If you could sort out their silly metadata fields, you would probably be able to charge for that one!!
Cheers,
Steve
do you have or are you planning to make a plugin that can create a simple viewer gallery?
No, no plans. There’s an entier module — the Web module — that already does that. —Jeffrey
Hey Jeffrey,
First of all thats for all you efforts in this amazing plugin. It certainly saves time.
I do have some issues working with the plugin. But most are worked out by reloading the plugin. There is however a recent problem that I believe might be a facebook issue.
I am getting a
Error response from Facebook
Error uploading image : no photo id.
And then it aborts the pics i am trying to upload to face book.
Email me and i’ll send you the jpeg of the error and the error log.
Again thanks for all your efforts.
Add me to the list of people who would like to go from LR 2.0 to Apple’s mobileme. I’d gladly pay/donate for this. Thanks for all of your work so far and thanks for considering this request
Ray
Jeffrey,
Thanks for the plug in for lightroom. I did download it, however I’m stock when trying to export my lightroom galleries to smug mug. Do you have any suggestions? or step by step procedures?
Thanks,
Lee.
Hi Jeffrey,
I just downloaded and installed your export to Picasa plug-in … worked like a charm. I’m kinda new to plug-ins so your installation instructions came in real handy. Thanks again!
One question that perhaps you may answer since you obviously know a lot about export plug-ins. Why isn’t there a built-in plug-in (or any that I can find for that matter) to export to Adobe’s Photoshop Express. I mean, Adobe is Adobe. You’d think this was a no brainer for the Adobe folks.
What’s your take and do intend to pick up the gauntlet, so to speak?
Thanks again,
Matt
Yeah, Adobe is Adobe, so I haven’t even thought about a plugin for Photoshop Express, thinking that they’d certainly provide one if they wanted one to exist. I dunno. Seems odd. —Jeffrey
Thanks Jeffrey,
Adobe works in mysterious ways. The only thing that I can think of is that they think of Lightroom as a “pro” product and Express as an amateur product so nether the twain shall meet (well … you know what I mean).
Keep up the good work, and thanks for sharing your excellent work with the Lightroom community.
- Matt
I use your Flickr plugin all the time and love it. Thanks.
Most of my photos are of cosplayers. People dressing up in various anime customes.
It would save a ton of time if there was a Lightroom plug-in to directly upload photos to cosplay.com.
Please consider this for a future plug-in.
Thank you in advance,
Greg
First off: Thanks for the great work on the plug-ins.
Have you thought about making a plug-in to let users create their own custom metadata fields? For example, I have a portable weather station and would love to be able to add information about temperature, humidity, air pressure, etc to my images.
J, thanks so much for the FB plug, was working great until this last update. now i get:
+1.1: At line 15259: ?:16108: attempt to index field ‘?’ (a nil value)
I have an imac with the lastest OS and LR2 updates applied. Ps. why do these plugs expire?
coocoo
There is a wildly popular Russian facebook clone called Vkontakte.Ru – I wonder what are the chances of adapting a version of this plugin of yours to it?
How much of a clone is it? Is the programming API identical? I couldn’t find any docs… at least none that I could read… —Jeffrey
Do you know of a working Gallery2 plugin for lightroom 2.1? Would you be up for making one?
I was wondering if you make simple export functions. I am looking for a way to export photos using a keyword to create a directory where that photo is stored. I know your tools are ultra advanced and I am just looking for something simple. Do you know of anything or have anything in the works?
Dave
I second the request for a LR2.1 –> Gallery2 export plugin. Your other plugins are so darn good, it’s difficult to believe anyone could do it better.
I also like to thank you for your fantastic work, its so impressiv and helpful!
(and maby, if you don’t have other important things to do, you could think of an Export plugin for Ipernity (www.ipernity.com)?)
again: thanks a lot for your great work!
carsten
I just had an idea. Would you be able to adapt one of your current Lightroom plugins to instead output to a text file? What I’m looking for is something along the lines of the script you use to put photos in your blog posts, with some photographic details below each photo.
Ideally it would provide a list of HTML image tags for the selected images, based on a manually-entered URL. (If it could be further integrated with Lightroom’s built-in FTP capabilities for uploading pictures, that would be even better, but it’s not strictly necessary.) So for example if you enter http://www.mydomain.com/images/ as the URL, all the HTML tags will be based on that address – e.g. http://www.mydomain.com/images/image-001.jpg.
Using similar functionality to your other plugins, you could add options to export various kinds of metadata into the text file after each image tag: camera, focal length, aperture, and ISO, but also caption, copyright, location, and so on. This would allow people to pick and choose the info to present.
With all of this in a text file, it could be blogged using your WordPress plugin, or simply copied and pasted manually.
I don’t know how much work would be involved in making this, but it would be a wonderful tool for photographers.
I have been having trouble uploading from lightroom 2.1 to smugmug. It is saying that it can not connect to host. Is this a issue i am having with the plugin or Smugmug?
Thank You
Craig
If you’re on Vista, it’s likely a Lightroom bug. I’ve heard a lot of reports of networking problems on Vista with LR2.1 )-: —Jeffrey
I love your flickr export plugin!
I am looking forward to a plugin for exporting to a mobile me gallery as well.
As far as I could tell when I looked, Apple doesn’t publish an API that would allow a mobile-me plugin. )-: —Jeffrey
Hi Jeffrey
I have 2 questions related to plugin development
1 .How to create dynamic content of the dialog – for example
one checkbox per one contact group created on server side?
2. What version of the lua compiler you use?
I try 5.1.4, 5.1.1 , 5.0.3 but Lightroom 2.0 do not accept my plugin code.
See the plugin-developer’s manual, 187 pages of information and examples. It’s part of the Lightroom SDK that you can download for free. —Jeffrey
Hi Jeffrey, I rely heavily on your plugins – I use the smugmug and the facebook plugins quite a bit. I’m hoping a costco photo center plugin is in your future plans… I’d be happy to contribute a shareware fee — you do all this work for free?
Thanks again, you’re a big help to my workflow.
You really do a great job with these LR plugins, what a great time saver.
Hoping you might consider adding one for http://www.phanfare.com
THANKS
I have been using your Picasa plug-in for some time now. Unbelievably, it looks like Microsoft may be “getting on the ball” lately. Their Windows Live Photos and the Live Services in general seem to be taking shape and becoming very useful for a change. The new Windows Live Photos offers 25gb for free and for premium members ($29 yearly) I believe it will be 50gb. This 50gb space is for storage of photos or any other type of file you want. They will be coming out with an online Office Suite (Word, Excel ect.) at the beginning of the year that is all included with the free service. Folders on you computer can be synced with this space as well (when they roll that part of the service out). It’s actually looking pretty cool. What I think would be amazingly cool is if you put together a Lightroom Export plug-in for the new Windows Live Photos. Kind of hard to ask after all of the great stuff you have done for us already.
Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family!
Great tools Jeffrey. I love the Export to Picasa Web Album:
What about making a Export to SkyDrive (http://skydriveteam.spaces.live.com/, which now have 25GB free ) !?
Thank you so much for the Zenfolio plug-in. Your works and talent are greatly appreciated. Merry Xmas.
Add me to the list of people who would like to export Photos from LR 2.0 to Apple’s mobileme. I’d gladly pay/donate for this. Thanks for your work (i use the flickr/picasa plugin too)
Any chance of an export plugin that uploads to a WordPress blog?
Thanks for these great plugins! What a pity there isn’t going to be a deviantART plugin…
Just because I don’t write it doesn’t mean that someone else can’t. You, perhaps? —Jeffrey
Hi Jeff,
I’ve installed your uploader for smugmug and it works wonderfully! My problem, however, is how to bypass it. The way I use LR I have a group of folders for different sized exports sitting in a folder that I call LR Exports. Now that I’ve installed the Smugmug Uploader I don’t seem to be able to export except to Smugmug. When I click on LR’s export button I go to the export to smugmug page…. I’m sure I’m doing something very wrong that is very simple to fix…I just don’t see it.
Thanks for your help.
Happy New Year!
Stephanie
You an select other export destinations in the same way that you selected SmugMug in the first place. —Jeffrey
Are there any plans for an export plugin for photobucket.com?
Tom
I can’t believe I did this, but I actually did make one: here. —Jeffrey
Great job! The Picasa plugin is exactly what I needed.
Alex
Any plans on a kodakgallery plugin?
Thanks,
Herbert
No plans by me, but I can’t speak for others. Anyone’s allowed to write a plugin. —Jeffrey
one more vote for a mobile me plugin… i would be eternally thankful
I’d consider doing one, but last I checked they offered no API with which to build a third-party app. —Jeffrey
Will there be a plugin for uploading to Google’s panoramio.com (i.e. Google Earth)?
—Jeffrey
Having recently visited some places where photos I took were much better than anything I found on Google Earth, I just might have to build a Panoramio plugin so I can send them some good imagery
First, thank you for all your time and effort.
I am a consistant user of your Facebook plugin and am about to load the Flickr one.
I also use the plain export to file and the IStock export plugin. One of the things that I REALLY like about your tools is the “Uploaded to …” function (which I can then filter on in the library. I think that your tools can do be setup to do the same for other plugins (if I am understanding them correctly) this but I am not sure. Could you please point me in the correct direction to make this happen.
Thanks again.
–David
First, thank you so much for your excellent Lightroom plugins – I can’t imagine life without them.
I have a quick question (and possibly a feature request) regarding the export plugins (Flickr and Smugmug specifically)
I noticed that after exporting a photo using your plugins, a custom metadata field is updated with “Uploaded to Smugmug” and “At Smugmug” with the URL. This is excellent, except that it seems the only way to edit these fields is to upload the photo using your plugin.
These fields would be very useful for better keeping track of what I’ve uploaded and to where, but I’d like to be able to add the information manually for photos that weren’t uploaded using your plugin. Is it possible to make the user-editable?
Alternatively, can I suggest a metadata plugin that does something similar, which would allow me to enter one or more URL’s to associate with a particular photo? (So I can keep track of photos on sites that there’s no export plugin for, such as DeviantArt as one example).
Thanks again for your great work.
The items under the “Plugin Extras” File menu allow you to do some of this. Currently, the Flickr plugin can do more, but if I can ever catch my breath development-wise, I’ll add more to both… —Jeffrey
Could you make a plugin for Adorama? Or do you know of one for Lightroom 2? Thanks, Brenda
Having recently visited some places where photos I took were much better than anything I found on Google Earth, I just might have to build a Panoramio plugin so I can send them some good imagery
—Jeffrey
Please do so
I would appreciate it very much, just as I appreciate your wonderful Flickr-plugin. Thank you.
I just took a look, and it seems that Panoramio explicitly wants to make uploading a hassle so that the barrier to entry will (hopefully) keep the riffraff out. I’m certainly not going to go through an “export to disk then fire up a browser and upload the images one at a time” rigmarole, so I guess I and my shabby photos qualify as riffraff. No plugin. —Jeffrey
Just wanted to thank you for your generous effort Jeffrey, you make my life as a photographer so much easier.
Any chance of an Export Plug-in to export directly to Kodak Gallery http://www.kodakgallery.com
I use PictureSync for Mac to do this now, but the Win version of PictureSync doesn’t do Kodak Gallery yet.
Thanks for some GREAT plug-ins by the way!!
Ed W.
Kodak is still in business? (I took a peek, and didn’t see any info about an upload API.) —Jeffrey
Starting using the LR to Smugmug export, its an awesome addition to the workflow.
Thanks for your efforts.
Hi Jeffrey,
I think I may have made this request a while ago via email. But I can’t find it in my email archive and I’m once again itching to see it implemented so I’ll mention it again. My apologies if it’s a dupe.
Can you fix the “associate images” function found under the flickr extras so that it tries to match title as well as timestamp? I occasionally have several versions of the same image on my flickr stream (color and B&W for example) which have an identical timestamp. The plug in correctly identifies the conflict in these cases but offers no way to resolve it. Matching titles in the event of a timestamp conflict would solve this. Alternatively some mechanism for doing this manually would be great.
Also if you could implement the same feature for Smugmug that would be fantastic
Many thanks again for your great plug ins and all the effort.
I am running the Flickr export plugin 20090403.89 (although the problem occurred before).
I do not seem to get my copyright name on the uploaded picture unless I also select resize to fit as well as the Add copyright watermark checkbox.
Many thanks for a great plugin…
The built-in watermarking stuff (which is independent of the Flickr plugin) is pretty rudimentary, and if you have large originals, the watermark ends up being minuscule. For more control, you may want to invest in Tim Armes’ LR2/Mogrify plugin. —Jeffrey
very good job ….!!!!
I am not sure if there would be enough demand to make it worth your while but have you considered a lightroom plugin for photobox.com? I currently use your facebook plugin and it is great. Thank you.
Any chance you might make an exporter to http://www.photo.net? I really love using their galleries for critiqueing my photos. I figured you are familiar with the site. Thanks for the other awesome plugins!
Jake
I validated the wrong uploader. I wanted to validate flickr uploader, but did facebook, which I have never used. How can I correct this? flickr exporter is brilliant.
Just shoot me an email with your registration code, and I’ll take care of it. —Jeffrey
where do I find your email?
Well, it’s where one might expect to find it (on the About Me page linked from the head of my blog), but to save you the trip: jfriedl@yahoo.com —Jeffrey
Another request for a plugin, this time for PBase – would it be on the cards at any point? Many thanks for your good work!
Cork, Ireland
Are they still actually used by anyone? Their front page has a 2007 copyright, and their “about” page hasn’t been updated in five years. If they can’t be bothered to update these, I doubt they’ll undertake the work required to create an API that I could have a plugin use to access their service. I’ll make a plugin if they make an API. —Jeffrey
Was wonder what the chances are you would be making a plugin for JOOMEO Would love to to be able to post directly from LR2 to JOOMEO
the site: http://www.joomeo.com/
the forum: http://www.forum.joomeo.com/
Thank you.
jphiphotos
I’d never heard of them. I took a look at their API… it seems to be pretty limited, but at least they have one. I sent them some questions… we’ll see. —Jeffrey
Thanks Jeffrey, you make a good point! I just went through their forum actually and found a couple of things (just before I was going to start a thread about a plugin for Lightroom). So there is a plugin for LR>PBase after all…

Hi Jeffrey,
a plugin for panoramio.com would be really great.
I think so, too. When I checked last year, they had no public API, but when I checked last week, I noticed an “API” link at the bottom of their home
—Jeffrey
page. Unfortunately, every time I try to access it, it hangs and times out. So, I guess they’re not quite ready for prime time. But when they are, I’ll definitely try to make a plugin for them, ’cause I have a lot of images of Kyoto that are better than those they have and I feel compelled to share them with the world
Update: I finally got through, and found that it was not an API for uploading. They still don’t want to provide tools for easy uploads. Apparently, they value dedication over quality. Sigh. —Jeffrey
Something I’d like to see is an export to email that actually works in Windows, i.e., generates the desired size and jpg quality level for one or more images, then actually opens the email’s new message with the pictures attached. The export method I tried before didn’t open the email, just wrote out the files in a temp folder. Currently I’m using Windows Live Mail.
Hi Jeffrey,
Thanks for a well-made plugin – power to the RegEx
One thing, though. I’m working on my own site in Rails and have implemented OAuth to upload photos from Lightroom and while I have a working plugin to do the upload, I’d really like to figure out how to authenticate it properly like you do and read the stories in some form so I get all that data through from Lightroom. Obviously you can’t give me your source code, but would you be able to adapt your SmugMug plugin for me? I’ll pay you whatever I can – starving student here, but keen to do it!
Best
Vish, London, UK
Here, perhaps this will help
—Jeffrey
Hi Jeffrey.
thanks for all the efforts put into your plugin work.
I am using your Flickr and Geoencoding Plugins and they work just perfect. No idea how i ever got along without them.
Just registered both, hope the donation is fine for you,
cheers from Munich, Germany,
Denis
Great Metadata plugin. I was wondering if the custom metadata that I set up within the plugin could be used to print titles from. That is. I am an artist and I need to print not only my images but also title, date, medium, dimensions (hxl), and price for each piece. Under the print menu it doesn’t give me a link to that customized data only to metadata I don’t need.. Extensis Portfolio permits that output to be created. Am I missing something in Lightroom or in your Plugin?
Thank you for your help.
Even without knowing which of my dozen-plus plugins you’re referring to, I’m afraid that the answer is not good news: plugin custom metadata is not at all visible to the Print module, as far as I know. )-: —Jeffrey
By any chance can you add to the flickr addon the ability to add the borders an text that you can add on the lightroom with the “Slideshow” panel?
Tim Armes has a plugin that does that: LR2/Mogrify. —Jeffrey
Is it ridiculous to yearn for a plugin that would let LR import some video formats, and allow them as part of a library? Even just displaying the file name would be useful……
No, not ridiculous at all. When LR2 came out, there weren’t any SLRs with video mode (at least, I don’t think there were), but multi-media support was still a big request. In the intervening year, SLRs with video have popped out everywhere, so you know Adobe’s got to be thinking of something for LR3. Hopefully. Until then, I might be able to whip up a plugin of some sort… let me think about what I might be able to do… —Jeffrey
UPDATE: Here you go: New Lightroom Plugin: Video-Asset Management. —Jeffrey
Jeffrey
I am a registered user of your SmugMug upload plug in and it works great. Do you have an LR 2 plug in for Shutterfly? Didn’t see one listed on your site. Thanks and keep going!
Jeff
I don’t have one for Shutterfly, but someone else might; check the Lightroom Exchange (there’s a button for it in the lower-left of the Plugin Manager). —Jeffrey
You have the most amazing export plugins, it completely eliminated that extra step of converting to jpg, and then using various upload tools. I love it!

Andrew from NYC but living in UK
Is it possible to have a plugin that lets someone add custom metadata fields? For example, I want one that I can record the models name, and one where I can record the “photo id” that a stock site assigns each photo, and then be able to search on these.
Thanks!
I spent a couple of weeks writing exactly that kind of plugin, but at the very end ran into a bug in LR that made the whole thing usable. It’s very frustrating. I’m still trying to come up with a way around it…. —Jeffrey
Hi Jeffrey,
writing from Singapore, but moving back to France soon…
I love LR, and I love your export plugins – I use picasaweb right now because it offers 1Go free, and your plugin (for which I donated) makes it sooo easy. Thanks!
I just noticed your preview cache extractor tool. The one thing I am missing right now from LR2 is a screensaver for my family pictures. Right now I am using picasa2 screensaver, but it requires that I export the photos into a folder.
What I would love is a screensaver that can access the sqllite catalog and the preview cache and use the content of the preview cache for display. Ideally I could flag the photos in LR2, and the screensaver would select in the DB where the flag is set and there is a preview.
I would like to start coding this myself (the sqllite querying and image display is not too hard in c#), but I do not know how to open and read from the cache preview files. Did you find information about this somewhere, or did you reverse-engineer the file format?
let me know,
Renaud
I’d recommend against this approach… if it comes on while Lightroom is running, it could corrupt the database. (Yes, even if you only read the SQL database, it could cause corruption.) I’ve heard that future versions of LR may use strong locking to enforce that others can’t read the DB while it has it open. LR can do a wonderful slideshow… why not just invoke that when you want to have something running with pretty pictures? Personally, I’ve never seen the point to screen savers for personal computers…. if you’re not using the screen, turn it off, no? —Jeffrey
Hey Jeffrey,
Your work is truly awesome and much appreciated. I’d like to register (and in turn donate) for multiple plugins (namely Flickr, Facebook, and both GPS plugins). Is there an easy way to do this, or will I have to register each individually?
cheers,
Andrew
If you’d like to do one transaction to register multiple plugins, just drop me a note after registering one (letting me know the code), and I’ll take care of it. —Jeffrey
Jeffrey,
Thanks for nice plugins for Flickr and geotagging. Wanted to ask about one for panoramio, but you already answered to that question above. Hopefully panoramio will get more open in the future.
Yeah, it’s too bad. I exchanged email with someone (who had the same name as the founder) who apparently didn’t even know that one could geoencode photos with a GPS unit, or, in fact, any way other than doing it at Panoramio itself. I was shocked and dumbfounded they could be that insulated (or stupid), so I shut the door quietly and snuck away. —Jeffrey
Interesting. Today I uploaded one of pictures geoencoded with your LR plugin and panoramio took location from jpg without problems.
Any chance you will be writing a LR export plugin for Expono? (expono.com)
Made one: here —Jeffrey
Thank God people like you exist, Jeffrey. Great work.
Love your SmugMug plugin! You’re a wiz programmer but how good a photographer are you? The reason I ask is that I and many others, would love to have more LR camera matching profiles for Olympus cameras. Adobe provides a lot of support for the big volume Canonikon crowd but little for Olympus. The Oly E-3 offers JPEGs in 5 picture modes, Vivid, Natural, Muted, Portrait and Monotone. RAW is of course just RAW. LR offers a very good conversion of RAW to what appears to be Oly’s “Natural” or at least Adobe’s version of it. However there is no conversion offered to emulate the other picture modes as there is for the more popular Canons and Nikons. I’m not good enough to do this myself. Any chance of you having a go at it?
Sorry, I have neither an Olympus camera nor a clue about what goes into making a profile. —Jeffrey
Bit of a stab in the dark here, but just wonder if anyone knows if there’s a plugin or plan for one in lightroom that would export the images to the format requred for cooliris to work? I think their using a “standard” RSS media feed:
http://developer.cooliris.com/?p=full
Hi Jeffrey. Fist of all thanks for your pluggins. I am a great fan and appreciate your work.
Here is a little “problem” I have with my workflow”that I think might be common and might me an idea for a pluggin if you ever need one…
I am experimenting with Panoramas (using Autopano) and HDR (Photomatix). My problem is that when I render a new image in any of these cases, most of the metadata from the original frames is not transferred to the new image… I understand things like lens or exposure might not be relevant, but others like date taken, keywords, GPS info, etc is very relevant and helpful (at least in my case). So I end up having to export my metadata to xmp and use a exiftool with a .bat file to copy certain fields form one of the “sources” to the new image… quite cumbersome. Would be great to have a way within lightroom to select a source, target, and fields to copy…
Anyway… not expecting you to do anything, but thought it might serve you as an idea…
Best Regards
ET
Hi ET,
Just to try and give Jeffrey a break here is my attempt at answering your question. You dont say what version of Lightroom you are on but for V2 you can try the following
1) go to the library.
2) Click an image with the metadata you want copied.
3) Control click (for PC) the target image. (or shift select for many images)
4) Select “Sync Metatdata” on bottom right
5) You will then be presented with a panel from which you can select what data to copy.
6) Click Synchronize. (I believe the selction is sticky so only need to do the selcting once.
This is what I do for my HDR images.
Regards Mike
Thank Jeffery for a great set of plugins.
I have 1 question on the Flickr plugin. I have a large collection f pictures on flickr. Is there any way of connecticting you Flickr plugin/Lightroom to my existing pictures already on Flickr?
I’d like to be able to use your plugin without loosing comments & views (i.e. for update, find, etc). I looked but did not see any references in the threads.
Thanks
MichaelB (USA, PA)
Select the photos in your library that might be on Flickr, then invoke Files > Plugin Extras > Flickr Extras and go from there. —Jeffrey
i’m using the mobile me galleries but there is the only possibilty to use aperture or iphoto to upload and on win nothing then html
it would be a big favor to have a export plug for me.com galleries
cheers florian
keep up your tools are worth a lot for me
I’d like to make one, but I haven’t been able to find an API. I suppose that Apple is keeping things inside their walled kingdom. —Jeffrey
Quote : http://www.cocoabuilder.com/archive/message/cocoa/2009/3/16/232478
> Are there any APIs available for uploading photos to MobileMe account?
There are, but you don’t want to use them. Apple once made a DotMacKit
framework that would upload anything to MobileMe, but it hasn’t been
updated in years, it’s horribly obsolete, the authors will most likely
never update it, and the source code isn’t available.
You’re best off using a library that supports HTTP PUT and doing this
manually, such as ConnectionKit or CURL.
Nick Zitzmann
so there is no api but …
hooo, America, which part. I ma in central America, Hondurs, lots of turmoil.
I am occationally uploading images to stock sites. I am looking for a plugin for LR, where I can set quick and easy Category, Title, description, and keywords to each picture.
I stockphoto is giving away a program that helps you to do this for their website, but it doesn’t write it into the image. (DeepMeta)
I would like to quick apply all this info to all possible meta locations imaginable in the image or all images in a catalog or selected ones, so when i upload an image all this timeconsuming keywording is alredy done.
is there a way to do this?
Cheers, and enjoy your vaation.

Hi Jeffrey,
Thank you for producing all this amazing plug-ins.
I’m trying to use the Flickr upload plug-in and everytime I try to Export a file over 10MB (most of my files are) it gets rejected even though I’m asking to export at a quality less than 100% and reducing the pixels to 70dpi – surely this will reduce the files to about 1MB.
Seems Flickr sees the original file before your plug-in does its stuff. Is there anyway to sort this problem out without reducing the size of my photos one by one in CS3?
Thanks
Chris
You can see in the log (if you can decypher it… it’s not meant for human consumption) the size of the image actually sent, and any error message returned from Flickr. —Jeffrey
Hi
Using your Geocoding plug-in in the UK, great plug in.
On my wish list is something that will auto download from Nikon Cameras to light room… Canon users get this fro free but for Nikon you need to buy Capture NX or Camera Control Pro…. Neither of which I want.
If you get some spare time
is it something you might consider?
What do you mean by “auto download”? —Jeffrey
rejected even though I’m asking to export at a quality less than 100% and reducing the pixels to 70dpi – surely this will reduce the files to about 1MB.
Chris-
In case you weren’t aware, setting the DPI at 70 will do absolutely nothing to the physical pixel dimensions of your images (and therefore to the file size) unless you are also putting in resize dimensions in inches or centimeters at the same time. If you are exporting at full size (“Resize to Fit” unchecked OR defining a pixel dimension WITH it checked in the Export dialog) the DPI setting just gets saved into the image’s metadata in the event that someone actually prints the photo using a program that recognizes and follows the DPI setting.
Essentially, a 1000×1000 pixel photo at 70DPI will be the exact same file size as a 1000×1000 pixel photo at 10DPI… or 10,000DPI. It’s only when printed that you’ll see a difference.
This may be a stupid question, but I can’t find the answer/solution anywhere. I know that you can upload a gallery by FTP directly from the Web module, but is there a way to upload individual (or groups of) photos by FTP without creating a gallery? I just need to output the .jpg files directly to FTP. If there’s not a way, what are the chances of a plugin that does that?
There’s a basic FTP plugin distributed by Adobe as part of the Lightroom SDK. Download, unzip, and in “Sample Plugins” you’ll find ftp_upload.lrdevplugin which you can copy to where you like and install like any other plugin. —Jeffrey
Hello Jeffrey,
If we add new Metadata field to the Lightroom does that metadata value gets stored in image XMP header ? Also do we have APIs to write such metadata to some external file ?
For export feature, how are the services on the Picasa, Facebook etc.. are written ? Are they webservices ?
We have an internal application which can import images through webservices, do you have any suggestions to me how to write the export plugin in such scenario ?
Thanks
mark.
Mark, your note is missing words in a few key places, so I’m not really sure what you’re asking. Could you resend, via email, with a bit more verbosity? —Jeffrey
I don’t know if it has already been suggested but I would find very valuable a plug-in that would convert my photo’s focal length to its 35mm equivalent. Either introducing manually the multiplying factor or with a database of camera models.
Thanks.
There’s already a “35mm Equiv. Focal Length” Exif (camera metadata) field, and Lightroom can display it if your camera writes it to your images. Check the “All” metadata-viewer preset, or build your own with something like my Metadata-Viewer Preset Builder plugin. —Jeffrey
Hi Jeffrey,
I know some others have a also mentioned this, but it really would be fantastic if you could make a windows live skydrive plugin since they have 25GB of free space.
Also an option for a registration code that works for all plugins on many computers would be very useful.
Thanks for the plugins.
Francis
I’ll add SkyDrive investigation to the todo list. One-registration-multiple plugins is available if you use the registration for one plugin then send it to me with your needs, and I’ll take care of it. —Jeffrey
Hi Jeffrey,
I am an avid user of your facebook export plugin. It is great. Thank you.
I am curious if you have any plans to do a photobox (photobox.co.uk) export plugin. I travel a lot with work (yacht captain) and I often use photobox to make photobooks of guests on their holiday on board. A plugin would make it that bit easier to do.
Thanks for all of the hard work.
Jeremy
PS. I am Canadian but currently writing from Greece.
I’ve not heard of Photobox, but I’ve added investigating it to my todo list. —Jeffrey
Hi.
Any chance to create a plugin for BuenaFoto? (http://www.buenafoto.es/)
Thank you in advance!
Jeff, thanks for your work here, you are clearly very talented. I am excited to buy these as soon as I can afford to upgrade to 2.0. Your type of features are what keep many of us so excited about our hobbies.
Best,
Steve
Jacksonville, FL
Hi, Love the photobucket upload plugin. Any chance you might develop an plugin for uploading to snapfish? It would be really nice to upload directly to snapfish so you can easily order prints…
Thanks!
I don’t see anything on their site about an upload API, so it’s doubtful…. —Jeffrey
Thanks for your hard work on these plugins. I’d like to add my support to a Photobox.co.uk plugin – this is the only site I use for my commercial sales. Even better, why not make a simple FTP plugin so that users can upload single files (not web galleries) to virtually anywhere?
Thanks!
There’s an FTP plugin included in the Lightroom plugin SDK from Adobe…. —Jeffrey
I have some problem loading flickr plugin. When I load flickr plugin it load succesfully but I didnt copy tht pluging in my lugin directory. I removed that plugin. and now I am trying to loading that plugin form the different directory, but it is not loading.
Lightroom’s plugin manager works by you telling it where the plugins are…. it doesn’t copy or move them… so if you move them away out from under the plugin manager after you’ve told it where they are, you’ll have to re-tell them of the new location. —Jeffrey
Hi Jeffrey,
It looks like september update of Panoramio brought some changes to their API. The proof is … iPhone application by Panoramio folks to upload pictures from camera roll or camera to Panoramio… Looks like typical “Hello world!” application to test API.
Here is the link:
http://www.panoramio.com/blog/upload-photos-to-panoramio-straight-from-your-iphone/
What do you think? Does this mean that LR plug-in is closer than we think?
Thanks for your reply!
Regards,
Yan
I don’t see anything on their site about a general upload API. They have proved themselves to be exceptionally clueless in the past so I don’t hold much hope now, but I’ll send a note asking. If you are a Panoramio member and want to send your photos to them from LR, please make your opinion known to them. —Jeffrey
There’s an app for Panoramio for the iPhone now, maybe it’s possible to make a plugin for Lightroom now ? Perhaps they changed the API.
Hi, can you tell me, if its possible develop a plugin that make you can reemplce dng files to jpg or compressed dng, whitout export.. someting like right click.. convert to jpg, sometimes, you want to have the photo, but not in dng.. when every files is 30mb.. you really want to have that picture, ( not spectacular one) in some 8 megabites .. or not 21 megapixels .. some “sraw” .. cause this eats teras… please, send me feedback to davimontoya@gmail.com
I think it’s possible, though with caveats. For example, plugins have no ability to inspect or set collection membership, so doing what you suggest would lose collection info for the plugin. Plugins also can’t add to the right-click context menu, so it would be something in File > Plugin Extras (but you could create a keyboard shortcut to it). A plugin also can’t remove an image (the original DNG) from LR, so the best it could do would be to delete the file, allowing LR to then discover the problem later, prompting you with “?”, at which point you’d tell it to remove from the catalog. Overall, pretty kludgy. —Jeffrey
Hi Jeffrey,
I am working on plugin for light room .I faced a small issue please help me out to solve this.
The issue is I need to allow file formats like GIF,PNG,BMP but as in the sdks given by light room 2.0 that there are some restrictions regarding the allowfileformats.
It is given that JPEG ,PSD ,TIFF ,DNG ,ORIGINAL only these formats are allowed . Even Light-room itself doesn’t add other format files except the given.
So, Please tell me how should I allow other format files if so please tell me the solution so that i can clearly mention what file format should be supported.
Thanks,
Kishore.
Lightroom handles only the formats it handles, so if you want to handle something else (like GIF and PNG), you must convert it yourself, somehow, before presenting it to Lightoom. —Jeffrey
I can’t wait to try out these plug-ins when I get LR2 tomorrow. Thanks for making them.
Is there any way that you might consider making a plug-in for exporting to e-mail (to my knowledge, there’s only a Mac version)?
Also, something to assist in file-sharing over messenger (Yahoo, Pidgin, etc.). It is tedious to sort through 10,000+ thumbnails in the Windows “Browse” window just to locate one or two specific photos that I want to send to family or friends. Renaming the actual files would defeat the entire purpose of LR, where I can use keyword & date & collections metadata to index everything. Dragging & dropping from LR would necessitate the program always being open — which would be an additional step. Maybe there’s some way that the LR keyword system could integrate with a desktop search utility like Copernic? Or it could be a plug-in for messenger itself?
First world problem, I know — but there has to be a more efficient way.
VVB
There’s a
Lightroom to GMail plugin by Tim Armes that might be useful for the first. I don’t have any good ideas for the second, sorry. —Jeffrey
Hi Jeffrey, I have been using the LR2 to Zenfolio plug-in for a while. I THOUGHT that Zenfolio had a problem receiving keywords uploaded w/images so just kept on truckin’. Well, just found a drop down regarding keywords in LR that contained “enter keywords”. Seemed logical to leave it alone. NOT – the drop-down also had “will export” as an option. Just tested 1 file and it did what it was supposed to do.
I have about 12,000 images uploaded. Any thoughts about how to export keywords after the fact without starting over updoading huge files again??
AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHH.
Thanks. Love your software!
Charlie
Just added the ability to resend keywords and such… see the changelog for version .91 for more info. —Jeffrey
Hi Jeffrey,
Now that you use a mac, any chance of making a lightroom plugin for Plex media center?
I don’t know… what is “Plex media center”? —Jeffrey
Guys,
I noticed in the comments the discussion about Lightroom Screensaver.
I’m please to announce Lightroom Screensaver Addon – http://www.LrSaver.com.
If you like Jeffrey’s plugins, you probably will also like this one..
Thanks,
Nir
Jeffrey,
Love your plugins, they make a good program great.
Is it possible, via Lightroom or a plugin, to filter by exposure-bias? It seems it would be useful for a lot of photographers and it’s probably something right under my nose I can’t find. If it isn’t already available in Lightroom, is it something you could add to a plugin?
Thanks,
Chris Raezer
I went ahead and added it to Extended Search plugin. —Jeffrey
Thanks for the plug ins, the Zenfolio one is a life saver for me, although I’d like to see a horizontal scrollbar on the import folder selection, as I have deeply nested folders in Zenfolio e.g. Sport > Season > Region > Event > Race, and have to count down the folders to find the one I want as I can’t see the actual folder in the display.
To come to my reason for leaving a comment, as a sports photographer my longest and most tedious part of the lightroom workflow is the keywording, titling and captioning phase. A lot of my images are of horseracing, and I now have keyword hierarchy’s with containers with hundred or thousands of keywords in them, which means an awful lot of scrolling to assign the name of a horse, owner, jockey, and trainer to everyone of between 500 and 1500 images for a shoot.
Would it be feasible to use the keyword import/export function and keyword sets to build a keywording plug in that allows a event photographer, to display a set of keywords for the particular race they are keywording at that moment, and assign a group of related keywords by the competitor number.
- I’d be looking for the ability to inport a series of new related keywords from a structured document – spreadsheet etc e.g Race 1, horse a (owner a, jockey a and trainer a), b, c, etc. Race 2, horse d, e, f etc,
- Then I’d like to filter to the imported keyword sets for a race, say Race 1.
- Then within race 1, I’d like to be able to hit 1 for selected images, and have horse a, owner a, jockey a and trainer a assigned, hit 2 and the appropriate keywords are assigned.
- then the imported keywords should add into the existing keyword hierarchy, within the appropiate category, e.g. horse.
- ideally the plug in would allow allow titles and captions to be built with the default keywords from an image, similar to the twitter update function in the Zenfolio plugin. e.g ” ridden by running in the at ”
Having those kind of capabilities would greatly speed up my workflow.
I’ve just pushed a new version of the plugin that allows you to configure a smaller font for the list, which hopefully will get your leaf names in view. About keywording, LR simply doesn’t allow plugins modify keywords (add or delete), so the whole idea is out until it does (which it may well in LR3, we’ll see). —Jeffrey
Jeffrey,
Thank you very much for adding exposure-bias to Extended Search! It is an amazing time-saver.
Chris
Jeffrey,
I love your work and I have donated and purchased several times, great work!
Any chance you could make an export plugin to http://www.viewbug.com?
hope so!
Didn’t see that they had a public API, so it’s unlikely, sorry. —Jeffrey
Jeffrey
First I would like to thank you for putting up the image of Japan. We were there a few years ago, Ise/Nara/Kyoto etc. and seeing it again makes us want to go back soon.
Does the Config. Manager work with LR3 beta? I have looked for the translation string. txt file and don’t see one. If not, will you be rewriting it soon? Lastly, as of now, which plug-ins will work with 3beta.
Thank you again
Jonathan, Los Angeles
LR doesn’t have an English TranslationStrings.txt file by default, including LR3beta, so like other versions, you put your own there. I haven’t tried the Config Manager with LR3beta, but I would expect that it would work. Give it a try and let us know. As for my plugins, most work in LR3b, but it doesn’t hurt to try them for yourself. The new Publish stuff has been added to some, but that’s still pretty rough. The preview-cache-extraction plugin does not work in LR3b. —Jeffrey
thanks for all your hard work, these plugins are awesome!
Thanks for all your hard work over the past year. Kepp up the excellent work on the plugins.
Hope you had a good Christmas, looking forward to a Happy and Prosperous New Year.
In a quandry. Still have Lightroom 1.4 but upgraded OS to Snow Leopard. When I try using the upload plugin that worked under Leopard to upload from LR to my Flickr account, the export button is grayed out. I understand that you are no longer upgrading the old plugin, and that the new one only works on Lightroom 2 and above. But can I nevertheless still use the old, reliable plugin under Snow Leopard? Is there a place to find a temporary workaround until I upgrade LR?
I’m not familiar with any problems about using LR1 on OSX10.6, and in any case, a grayed-out export button is more root-level than anything to do with a plugin… if you can’t export to disk (for whatever reason), you’ll need to address that before considering whether plugins do or don’t work. You might ask on the LR user-to-user forum at Adobe….. —Jeffrey
Is there a way to export from Lightroom using your plug-in onto a Facebook Page instead of my main account?
Sadly, no, Facebook doesn’t allow it, for reasons no one seems to know. —Jeffrey
Do you have a plugin to export from lightroom 2 to my gmail account or my yahoo account? Thanks
Mark A. Brown
I don’t know of anything for Y!Mail, but there’s a LR2/GMail plugn. You might dig around on the Lightroom Exchange, Adobe’s central resource for plugins, for more. —Jeffrey
How about an export plugin for PanOramio to get photos up on Google Earth. I’m doing it the long way at the moment.
I’d like to, but they don’t allow it. When I asked, the reply (from someone with the same name as the founder) implied that they knew nothing whatsoever about geoencoding. It was pretty shocking. He’s left now, so maybe there’s renewed hope. —Jeffrey
Thanks for your SmugMug plugin. I shoot a lot of HDR. Do you know of a plugin or a way to sort images in LR 2 to find the Exposure Bias of “0EV” in the EXIF data?
Thanks again Ron
My Extended Search plugin can do exactly that. —Jeffrey
Jeffrey, are you planning on building a plugin for Google Docs? Now that they allow all file types I see me sending lots of .DNGs their way. I’m working them manually for now unless you have or know of something.
Thanks.
Hadn’t thought of it, but I’ll check it out. If they use a similar API to Picasaweb, it should be easy enough… —Jeffrey
Hi Jeffrey,
With LR3 FR being only a couple of months away now have you given any thought to users of your plug-ins being able to donate via PayPal for a number of plug-ins in one go rather than one at a time? Having now used several of your plug-ins over a period of time I’m now in a better postition to decide which one’s I’ll need when LR3 is released and paying for them in bulk would be far more convenient. Thanks.
There is no “paying for them” with my plugins, except for PayPal’s fee for the registration code (which can be had for 1 cent). If you’d like to register a bunch of plugins without the hassle of creating a bunch of registration code, just drop me a note. Now, if you want to send a gift, that’s always welcome, either at the same time as generating a registration code, or any time you just feel like it…. or both…. “Gift early, gift often” is the motto to live by
—Jeffrey
