One con to Lr is that many Mac OS applications can't reach into Lr's catalog to see adjusted images (some can though, like Fotomagico or Comics Life). Dunno what options ATV has these days to view images, but if it can view local storage that might work for you as well. I use his collection publisher plugin to publish to that NAS I mention that I view on my HDTV. I haven't used the latter, but his Flickr plugins and other publishing plugins have IMHO been better than the others. Jeffrey Friedl has one you can try as well: Jeffrey Friedl's Blog » Jeffrey’s “Export to SmugMug” Lightroom Plugin. Smugmug has an Lr publishing plugin I think now you have to download it separately from Smugmug. That workflow should work just the same with Lr. Maybe if we knew more about the anticipated workflow this probably sounds more complex than it really is. But if you want to publish to online sources, it works fine. In short, if you intend to use cloud storage as the primary place for photos organized by Lr, fergeddaboutit. I also use Mylio to directly sync images to mobile devices, and Mylio interacts directly with Lr, so if I change an image to BW on my iPad that will synch to the image on my Mac in Mylio and then in Lr as well. I don't ever do much with them, if anything, in Photos, but Photos then syncs those JPEGs. I also publish to a set of folders that Photos references. I publish to a NAS that also connects with my HDTV so I can view images there. Note that I said Lr can publish to disk too. But it doesn't work off cloud storage directly. Or send them via synching and Lr Mobile to iOS for viewing and light editing. Your big DSLR RAWs and whatnot are there, and you publish edited versions to disks, online services, printers, etc. Lr, like most DAMs, even Aperture, presumes local storage.

But again that's publishing, not synching per se I wouldn't edit the photo in Flickr and have those changes sent back to Lr. If I publish to Flickr Lr keeps track of that photo, so if I tag a face or crop it then a simple republish command sends those changes on to Flickr. But there isn't a corresponding automatic action going in the opposite direction (nor was there one in other applications like Photos or Aperture).įB is also different than say Flickr or Smugmug and most other sites in that you can't update photos.

And Jeffrey Friedl has an even better publishing service plugin. Lr has a built in publishing service to send stuff to FB. On FB, you wouldn't be able to copy a random FB photo into Lr without first downloading to somewhere local and then importing (not very hard to do BTW).īut it they are YOUR FB photos, as in you posted them, presumably you have the originals already.
