Comments on: Uploading To PhotoShelter From Lightroom Just Got A Whole Lot Cooler

This is great and I’ve paid for and used the plug-in for some time. But what we really need is a ‘Publish Services’ plugin for Lightroom, just as there is one for facebook, flickr, smugmug and others. Now that would really make Lightroom and Photoshelter sing together. What the Photoshelter export plugin is lacking which the publish plugins have is: Any photo in the publish set which has had changes made to the metatdata or actual image is flagged as needing to be synchronized with Photoshelter. The Flickr plug in will even pull in comments made by others on Flickr to the Lightroom workspace. Not sure what is holding Photoshelter back on this one? Cheers, John Doogan.

Hey Paul, or anyone that can help: the replace seems like just what I’ve needed for a while, but I’ve just installed and tried and can’t seem to get it to work just yet. I tried to export a photo to an archive folder, with that photo already in there, and with the same file name and size, yet each time, I just get a duplicate of the photo. Can you please help me figure out what I’m not doing here. Thanks Quinn

Great plugin Paul and thanks for all your work! One feature I hadn’t noticed until recently that is particularly important to me (I need all the help with organization I can get) is the ability to use metadata to sort images in a Lightroom catalog by whether they have been uploaded to PhotoShelter or not and to use that same metadata to create a smart collection of PhotoShelter images. To help others with this I’ve included the details on my blog “Get Better Organized With PhotoShelter Lightroom Plugin” at http://kenhurstphotography.blogspot.com/2011/02/get-better-organized-with-photoshelter.html. I hope this is helpful to other PhotoShelter members. Ken Hurst

Thanks for the comments, suggestions are noted. Replaced images will shop up in the galleries. There is however a processing delay. So a little patience is needed. Paul

Paul A question about replacing an image on Photoshelter. If you do the replace, does the new version of the image show up in all of the galleries that the older version resides, or do you have to add the image to the galleries again. Thanks! Great plugin.

How about a Photoshop plugin. I can’t even think about going straight from Lightroom ? as it doesnt support layers.

Paul – if you made the plugin so you could push IPTC changes from Lightroom to Photoshelter and they overwrote existing IPTC fields (populated or not), I would pay for such a plugin. Thomas.
