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
