Thank you!

You can keep everything organized within Lightroom by using my Collection Publisher plugin, or perhaps the Folder Publisher plugin, in either case setting the root of the output to somewhere in your Dropbox tree. —Jeffrey

Any chance you will be making a Dropbox publishing service?

I use most of your other publishing services and would prefer to stick with you rather than purchasing it from another developer.

I’ll keep my fingers crossed.

Wasn’t planning on it… can’t you just export to your Dropbox folder? That’s what I do. —Jeffrey

I am a long time user of your plug-ins for both facebook and flickr. I thank you for these tools which have worked flawlessly for years.

Leaving aside my photography personal interests I’m looking for a subtle watermarking/copyrighting system for many multiple images, today 2000 but over time many more. I realise that I cannot 100% ‘lock ‘ an image via a watermark or
IPTC, IPTC-IIM, XMP or even Exif. I can just make it difficult to infringe copyright. and that’s all I want to do. I was using the app. Watermark Image to place a tiny image and copyright notice on the photo – the commercial site that was displaying these images doesn’t like this ( no prizes for guessing who !)

I saw a reference to ‘ Jeffery Friedl that leverages Phil Harvey’s ExifTool ‘ on the internet, but the link is dead. The context suggested this might be a solution. I’ve also looked at tineye, picscout and digimarc. These are all overkill and way too expensive.

All suggestions welcome – I can’t see an obvious link on your site.

PS Here’s the link: http://www.controlledvocabulary.com/blog/top-metadata-myths.html

The link you refer to merely forgot the “http://” in front… it’s supposed to go to my online Exif viewer that allows image metadata to be inspected. I don’t understand your reference to watermarks, whether you like them or dislike them, but FWIW the standard for watermarking in Lightroom is this plugin. You also might consider my Creative Commons plugin if you want to go that route for some shots. —Jeffrey

Then save the sort criteria as a “Preset”.

Lightroom doesn’t give plugins access to the image sort. )-: —Jeffrey

I want to print all the photos i’ve taken this year using a layout similar to the one found in Google+ galleries.. the algorithm is discussed here:
http://blog.vjeux.com/2012/javascript/image-layout-algorithm-google-plus.html
Basically, I would like to collate numerous photos onto a single page, and publish a jpeg for each page.

I was hoping to develop a plugin for the Lightroom print module (a new Layout Style would be ideal), but it seems that the print module isn’t available from the SDK unfortunately. So i’m wonder if perhaps you might be able to give me some pointers on what might be the best workflow to achieve this goal.

thanks for any help!

The best you can do in Lightroom is to export copies of the photos and then launch some external app to somehow combine them into a single page. Lightroom, unfortunately, doesn’t offer general image-building hooks. —Jeffrey

I see what you mean… it’s a good idea. I don’t know of anything, but I’ll give it some thought… —Jeffrey

I don’t know of such a plugin, but I’ve heard talk of it before. I don’t think the technology infrastructure is there to do it well, so I’d be surprised if someone’s actually built a plugin. —Jeffrey

i love your lightroom goodies, thank you so much for your great work – if you ever plan to create a export plugin for mediawiki i’ll be the first one to test it!
