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 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.
