Lightroom Publisher

Looking to speed up a process......any suggestions on workflow would be appreciated.
Using LR 5.7, When I process photos in LR for publishing to Smugmug (or FB), my process seems excessively tedious.
Files imported into LR folder & processed, folder created in Publish Services..title is copied & pasted from storage location. Make this folder target. Go back to original folder in LR . Add photo to target directory. Go to Publish Services section find target folder & publish.
Thats all fine & good for a few.....but I have hundreds of dancers I need in separate online folders.
HELP!!!
Any ideas...is there a shortcut or something?
Is there a way to drag & drop CATALOG FOLDERS to the PUBLISH SERVICES area?  I have many galleries in folders & would like to keep them up to date.
Thanks in advance.
Gary

Hi Lee385.  I have exactly the same issue.  I have also downloaded red.protexis.net but have not RUN it for the same reasons you mentioned.
Have you resolved the problem?
Does anyone else have an answer for this?  I need to use Lightroom 5 but do not want to harm my computer.

  • Lightroom Publish Services to Creative cloud

    Why can´t I publish pictures from Lightroom to Creative Cloud with LR Publish Services???? The only reason I bought a Creative Cloud membership was because I assumed it would work seamlessly with Lightroom publish Services.....Anyone with a soloution here?

    Now that Lightroom 4 is officially part of the Creative Cloud I'm wondering the same thing that sergiodenils was wondering—is there any ability now, or planned for the future, for integration with Files in the CC? I don't see any menu options or any info in the docs. This would seem to be a natural feature.
    There is no current integration with the CC Files, and they don't usually announce their roadmap in advance.  I do agree it could be useful though.

  • Facebook Settings in Lightroom Publishing Manager

    I have Lightroom 4 and I am able to upload photos to facebook via the Lightroom Publishing Manager, but only to my Wall Photos.  In the Publishing Manager settings under the "Facebook Album" drop down menu, I only have "Wall Photos" as an option, but that drop down menu is greyed out, so I'm not given an option to pick any other albums. 
    I am abl to right click on my Facebook service and "Create a Collection", but I'd like to know if I can create another default setting in the Publishing Manager.
    Any help?

    Try the 4.4RC - there are some Facebook related fixes http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/lightroom4-4/

  • Using Lightroom publish service for either Flickr or SmugMug. I have many images with a keyword Madd

    Using Lightroom publish service for either Flickr or SmugMug. I have many images with a keyword Maddy. This frequently doesn't show up in SmugMug or Flickr. All my other keywords seem to work fine. Anybody experience anything like this?

    You only get one opportunity to set up the hard drive under publish and the folder cannot be changed unless you get a plug-in to provide a work around.
    However you could just create a generic publish folder - something like Photo Lab, or Print Job.
    But you could then right click on your publish folder and select “make target collection” - you will see the plus sign added.
    Simply highlight the photos you want to print and press B (the same as adding to a quick collection) and your Publish Services folder on your hard drive will be populated with the exports.
    The real problem is that you would need to edit the publish settings every time you required different dimensions etc (not sure possible). I use a similar system, which works well and I like how I can see what has already been published and what is still to be published but my prints are always the same size and resolution.
     

  • Lightroom publish service Revel making albums

    In Lightroom publish services for Adobe Revel, there are no options for creating indivisual albums in a Library. The only option is to create a new Library. This not helpful.
    Is there a way?

    It does publish jpeg copies. Does not create any derivatives in the catalog.

  • Lightroom: Publish Services have gone corrupt

    When I was trying to sync 500px with Lightroom 5, all the Publish Services have initialised.
    SmugMug, Facebook, 500px, Revel, all have reset, and ask to be set up.
    When I try to set up any of them, I get an error promptly, as below:
    ?:0: attempt to index field 'exportSettings' (a nil value)
    How can I straighten out the app? Thanks!

    I am having a similar problem. Were you able to find a fix. Thank You.

  • Lightroom publish to hard drive - virtual AND master losing all development changes upon export

    LR 4.3, 59th reinstall (i lost count), standard HP pc setup, triple-core.
    workflow:
    i develop the master to the point where i want to diverge, then create a virtual copy, finish developing and publish to hard drive. Have done this a million times, but since most recent reinstall (for a plethora of reasons, but mostly difficulties with performance and performance - and oh! performance... ;-), it publishes only the undeveloped original. I've tried publishing the master, just to see what happens, and ditto: only the unedited raw file is displaying in my published folder on the hard-drive.
    i am careful to select 'Show PUBLISHED folder on hard-drive' from the right-click drop-down on the published image in the hard-drive publishing module, which in lightroom DOES reflect all changes, but the image on the hard-drive is the original raw file, renamed to the publish-service's specs.
    any ideas? i'm fresh out... MUCH appreciated. Having to do an extra export into ps6 (which does reflect changes), and re-save for no other reason than to preserve development is time-consuming and destructive to my workflow, which is darned complicated enough as it is!
    thank you!

    Could you explain why you have selected "original" as the format, rather than some form of processed file such as TIFF or JPG? In other words, for what purpose are you making duplicates of your Raw files when Publishing? If that is not what you wanted to do, then you are Publishing the wrong type of file.
    Exporting "as original" when the LR image concerned is a virtual copy, would be expected to have the same outcome as when the LR image is a master copy, since both versions have the same kind of original - literally share the same physical original - and that would be accordingly Published out as a new copy, when "original" is your file type. Then LR metadata would be written as a sidecar (.xmp) file next to that (or embedded in that, for say a DNG or JPG).
    Also, what means are you using to view the exported Raw files in the Published folder? Unless this is Adobe .xmp compatible software - which means: Bridge/ACR, or else importing into a LR Catalog -  it will fail to interpret the LR edits since these will mean nothing to that program. If, for example, this is Raw support built into the operating system's file browser, then what you are seeing is the original camera-embedded JPG preview - which your work within LR has simply left alone.

  • Lightroom Publish Services - Unable to activate Behance

    I want to use the Lightroom behance publishing option, but each time I got to verify my details in Lightroom it comes up with 'Not Authorised' despite entering the correct user name and password for Behance. I can't see any other way of activating it or making it work. As I wish to publish to Behance and then onto ProSite, without having to upload the images via the site.
    Any ideas?

  • Lightroom publishing to hard drive

    I have a slight problem, not with publishing, but deleting already published files.
    Have 3 published hard disk, which reside on 3 different PC's. Publishing is no problem. However, if I decided to delete photos from my catalogue and use the option "remove from service", I have to make sure that all 3 PC's are available, else I get an error message.
    I can delete from the published folders, but I would have to find the same picture on each, to be able to delete. The photos are then deleted the next time I publish.
    Is there a way where I can remove the photos from service, without have the other PC's available? 

    Here is one idea, assuming you have the original image files somewhere else too.., you can build smart previews (in Lightroom 5+) then delete the laptop copy (using your OS I mean, not Lightroom) without interfering with published status.
    Of course, have backups first, and take caution, and try just one at first, and...
    To be clear: this is not an "ordained" way to do things, so not recommended unless you are savvy computer/file-wise..

  • Can't set up Lightroom Publish Services, internal error occurs

    I'm trying to use LR 3's publish service for SmugMug.  I'm a little scared since 
    I have a large number of photos to sync up.
    When I click on "setup" on the SmugMug export services, I get a popup 
    error with this message:
    "An internal error has occurred: ?:0: attempt to index field 'exportSettings' (a 
    nil value)"
    Any idea how to fix this?
    The same message appears for any of the publish services (Flickr, Facebook).
    If I go the Publish manager, I can authorize the SmugMug account.  It then says it syncs the hierarchy, but afterwards nothing seems to have happened and the account is not longer authorized.
    Thanks.

    Thanks Mark, but that's not it.
    I'm not using Jeff's plugin, but the new built-in one for LR 3.2 and LR3.3.  I did try to install Jeff's plugin just before LR3.2 came out.  I uninstalled Jeff's version (or at least tried to - it doesn't appear anymore) before I ever used it.
    I'm not even to the point of exporting to SmugMug, I just click 'setup' and get the error.

  • Error message end tag and start tags dont match when publishing to flickr from lightroom 5.3

    I have had an ongoing problem that lightroom publishing to flickr times out frequently when uploading many photos.  However, for about the last week or two weeks i have been getting a different error message:
    Error message: “Can’t update this collection.  An internal error has occurred:  End tag ‘body’ does not match the start tag ‘hr’. 
    Windows 7 system.
    I set up a photoset in lightroom (have tried both smart and regular photosets with same results).  These photosets can contain anywhere from 16 to 3000 or more photos. The first photos are uploaded – maybe 10, maybe 100, maybe 1000.  Then it generally seems to stop working.  Sometimes I can continue publishing new photos or republishing, sometimes I cant.  For example I currently have 11 flickr publish photosets in one lightroom catalog, with the following success numbers:
    NAHCR00 total 3044, published: 1851
    NAHCR01 total 748,published: all
    NAHCR03 total: 532 published: all
    NAHCR04  total: 412 published: all
    NAHCR05 total: 340 published: 152
    NAHCR07 total: 248 published: 50
    NAHCR08 total: 524 published: 197
    NAHCR09 total: 44 published: all
    NAHCR10 total: 40 published: all
    NAHCR11 total: 32 published: all
    NAHCR12 total: 124 published: 4
    I have succeeded in uploading over 28000 pictures from flickr (mostly from three other lightroom catalogs to several flickr account, both paid and free).  The other catalogs marks the photosets as public  and generally seems to be more successful at uploading.
    All of these problem photosets are marked as private so that only I can see them.  The  photos themselves have peculiar names including many special characters including chinese characters, arabic alphabets, spaces, commas, exclamation marks etc etc.  I tried telling lightroom to rename the files to names with no special characters but it still fails.
    I emailed Flickr with the above information and this was their response:
    Thank you for contacting Yahoo Flickr.
    I would first like to apologize for any inconvenience you have experienced while attempting to upload photos to your Flickr account.
    First, Lightroom is a 3rd-party application; we can't offer any support for it. Please contact the developer of that application for help.
    With that said, please note that there's a known issue with Avast's Web Shield and AVG antivirus that causes issues with uploads. If you have either of these applications, disable the "Link Scanner", add Uploadr to the exceptions list, and then try to upload. If the issue persists, temporarily turn off the anti-virus / firewall and try to upload again.
    Please also see the following article on Flickr's upload limitations:
    Flickr upload limitations
      Lastly, here are some general troubleshooting steps that you can try: 
    Most connection issues arise due to a problem between your computer and Flickr and are often temporary. Try the following:
    Briefly power off any broadband modems and routers to reset the network connection.
    If you connect wirelessly, move your computer closer to the wireless access point, or 'plug in'.
    If you're connected through a router, try plugging directly into the broadband modem.
    See your manual for configuration options if the router is slowing or blocking uploads.
    Also, try lowering your # or matching it to your ISP's value.
      Additional troubleshooting 
    Try uploading with an alternate method:The web upload page, the Uploadr app, or upload by email.
    If you're using an older version of Uploadr, update to the latest version.
    Search our forums to see if there are any specific network hardware incompatibilities.
    I realize that this isn't a satisfying response to your request, and I am sorry for that. Please let me know if I may be of further assistance, or if you have any questions or concerns.
    Thank you again for contacting Yahoo Flickr.

    I had the same problen with Lightroom 5 - Prepares the files but won't Upload to Blurb. Tried numerours times. It is a Landscape size Book 132 Pages. There is a BUG in Lightroom and here is how I got it to work:
    Check each slide and make sure APPLY BACKGROUND GLOBALLY, GRAPHIC or BACKGROUND COLOR and not checked,. If so Uncheck them.
    Go to EDIT and SELECT ALL Slides in the Book.
    Select Apply Background Globally - turn it off and on several times, then leave it off
    Select GRAPHIC - turn it off and then turn it on and off several times
    Select BACKGROUND COLOR - turn it on then off then on then off
    I ended up with APPLY GLOBALLY unchecked for Every Page.
    GRAPHIC was turned on with a Graphic set at 12% Opacity on every Page
    Again check each page first for these Checkmarks or just fix exverything with SELECT ALL.
    Background Color was Turned off. 
    NOW UPLOAD THE BOOK - It took a couple hours but it uploaded without a hitch., I turned off all Firewalls and Plugged directly into the Router. I am using an IMac 27" with 32 GB of memory and this is the only way it would work. The Mac is about 7 days old and Lightroom 5 is also 7 days old. BUGGIEST piece of software I have ever used.
    Note - one of the above steps fixes the BUG - I am not sure which one but one will fix your book. It finally uploaded to BLURB today. It took a few hours though.

  • Lightroom 3 publish service: Sending 3 files from one photo

    Hi,
    I have created a lightroom 3 publish service that will export each photo as a huge TIFF file over a slow broadband connection to an external server. The external server creates 3 compressed JPEG files from the TIFF file.
    I think this is too slow and that it would be much better if the lightroom publish service created those three files and then sent them over the internet. Please note I am using Mac OS X 10.8.5 and Lightroom 3.
    My question is, what would be the best way to accomplish this task? Can lightroom compress the photo 3 times, or is it best to create another script on the local machine to accept each file, compress them, and then send them via the internet? What is the most secure and easy way to do this?

    Well, I don't see any reason to use an external script, since your Lightroom plugin can do this without it. Since you are controlling the code of the publish service, I recommend just doing this 3 times:
    local session = LrExportSession {
         photosToExport = { ... },
         exportSettings = { ... }.
    session:doExportOnCurrentTask() -- or new task.
    -- upload via FTP...
    PS - SDK forum would be better place to ask this question.
    Cheers,
    Rob

  • Publishing from Lightroom into Flickr broken

    Recently the Adobe Lightroom publishing service to Flickr is broken on my PC. I added some photos to my collection for publishing on Flickr, clicked publish in Lightroom, and after some minutes it came back with an error message that it couldn´t contact the Flickr service.The publishing process stopped then. Strangely however, I found on my Flickr account that Lightroom had uploaded the first previously unpublsihed picture, with all tags. So the internet connection is definitely working. However, within Lightroom the photo was not marked as published and not linked to Flickr. So if I tried to repeat the process, and by doing I added another copy of that first photo to my Flickr stream, and then the whole thing stopped again.
    My OS is Windows 7, and I am using Lightroom 5.3 with Flickr uploader it came with.
    I already reathorized the Flickr connection, but that didn´t help.
    Did anyone experience a similar situation, or knows how to fix this? Your help is much appreciated.
    Ansgar

    Consider trying Jeffrey Friedl's Flickr upload plug in. The work you do to install his code might fix the problem -- whereever it is -- and you'd have an inexpensive and excellent plug in. Might be more effective than poking the Flickr wall directly. He offers Lightroom tools (many chaoices) as donationware so you pick how much is appropriate to pay.
    See his plug-ins here: http://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies
    and the pictures on his blog are great fun. He is a good photographer as well as a coder.
    I do use several of his plug-ins but am not affiliated with this guy in any way.

  • Cannot publish from Lightroom to Flickr after upgrading to Yosemite

    Hi all. I just upgraded to Yosemite from Mavericks, and am running LR5.6. Since the upgrade i can no longer publish photos to Flickr with my existing plugin (which was working fine before the upgrade). When i click on any of the Flickr smart collections in LR I get the following message popping up:
    "In order to use this sample plug-in, you must obtain an API key from flickr.com. Sign on to Flick and register for a key under Explore > Flickr Services > Your API Keys"
    and it prompts for an API Key and a Shared Secret.
    This sounds to me like its asking for the (Adobe) Developers key since i don't have one myself!. Additionally, the location in Flickr is not a valid one anyway.
    Anyone aware of this and/or know how to fix it? I don't want to remove the Flickr plugin if it can be avoided as I have hundreds of photos published that would likely all disappear and need to be republished.
    Many thanks
    RS

    Try this.
    Open your default browser in the background
    Go to your specific Flickr instance in the Publish Services. Right Click and Select Edit Settings … to launch the Lightroom Publishing Manager
    Click  [Remove Authorization] in the Flickr Account Setting section
    Click [Authorize]
    A dialog should appear [Authorize]
    A Flickr tab should open in your default browser
    [Ok, I'll Authorize it]
    A different LR dialog should appear [Done]
    [Save]
    Does that restore your service?

  • How to Publish to Revel from Lightroom using a Facebook Account

    I signed in to my Revel Account using my Facebook Account.  I'm trying to publish from Lightroom but it's not accepting my Facebook ID and Password.  How do I publish from Lightrrom using a Facebook account or how do I switch my Revel Facebook login to my Adobe login?  Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hello
    To set up publishing to Revel 1.10  is easy in Lightroom 4. I would suggest that you update to Lightroom 4.4 first. You can goto the help menu in Lightroom and then select " Check for updates" then update to version 4.4. Also make sure you have updated to Revel 1.10
    Here is the instructions to do this for Revel as its similar to set it up for Facebook too. It is pretty simple to set up. http://help.adobe.com/en_US/lightroom/using/WS2bacbdf8d487e582-46da1b6f13419e06a64-8000.ht ml
    Here you will see the Lightroom Publishing Manager. Click on the Revel tab and then select Authorize  Revel button. You will then be prompted to sign into your Revel account. If your Facebook account log in information is not working then I would suggest to log in with your Adobe ID. You are best to do that anyway.
    In the image below you can see that I created separate albums for pictures. Then you can drag your photos to these folders and click publish. Then check your Adoberevel.com to see if the images show. Once you see that they uploaded in the upperleft of Lightroom, then you should see the images show in Revel.
    You can publish to Facebook from Lightroom the same way. Just click on the facebook tab on the publishing manager and authorize the Facebook connection with your Facebook log information. You will then be prompted to log into your Facebook account thru a browser.
