Just came across a useful plug-in today for exporting photos from Adobe Lightroom 2.x straight to your Flickr account. The plug-in is created by Jeffrey Friedl and it’s a “donationware” as he calls it i.e. you can choose to pay as much or as little as you want. You can try it for free for 6 weeks, after which you’ll get reduced functionality until you choose to register the plug-in.
As it is a donation-supported plug-in: you can choose to pay as little as 1-cent—just enough to cover the PayPal fee. PayPal is required for registration, but you may contact Mr Friedl directly if you don’t have a PayPal account but still wish to continue using the plug-in.
It’s very neat, I’ve tried it a couple of times now today and it appears to work without a hitch. It even goes so far as to export the tags and metadata you’ve assigned to your photos in Lightroom. But the biggest benefit is of course the huge time-savings in your workflow especially if you’re a heavy Lightroom user AND you upload your work to Flickr. Flickr’s own Uploadr is all well and good as a standalone, but if you’re already using Lightroom, why not save yourself the trouble and use this plug-in.
To get the plug-in go to: Jeffrey Friedl’s “Export to Flickr” Lightroom plug-in.
Mr Friedl also supports other photo-sharing sites such as SmugMug or even Facebook which you can find at his Lightroom goodies page.
