Web Publisher for Georeferenced Photos in Lightroom

Jim Keir — Fri, 13 Feb 2015 13:23:57 +0000

A new product for Lightroom has been released, in a slightly different direction for lightroom-plugins.com .

The new web publisher, something we've not done before, adds a Web Gallery to Lightroom which lets you publish your photos to a website that's based on a map as well as the traditional grid layout. This makes a lot of sense if you have taken the time to georeference your photos, maybe using a GPS tracker, and want to show them off in context together.

The publisher is based around Google Maps, and it will also use Google Analytics, social networks and content-delivery networks if you choose. As ever, it's free to try so go ahead and see for yourself!

Fixed a problem after initial install of the Alamy plugin

Jim Keir — Tue, 03 Feb 2015 19:49:50 +0000

It looks like the gremlins got into the plugin for Alamy a while ago... it's been saying that the pseudonym file was broken the first time it was installed, which isn't really a good introduction to the plugin! That problem is now fixed, so it should install cleanly into new catalogs without asking for repairs to be done.

License management is better!

Jim Keir — Sun, 25 Jan 2015 12:40:09 +0000

The License Management section of the site should be a lot more usable now. Previously it was only possible to view licenses for Lightroom and FlightSim products; now you can renew expired licenses, reissue them to other registered emails, and buy full licenses straight from the support center.

Backup Cleaner Updated

The Lightroom Backup Cleaner has been updated to handle working with multiple catalogs differently. Each catalog will now have it's backups maintained separately instead of all together.

Duplicate Finder Updated

Jim Keir — Wed, 08 Aug 2012 15:55:22 +0000

The popular Lightroom Duplicate Finder plugin was updated today, to add a simple but useful new feature. You can now choose to say that matching the Lens name is optional.

This might sound a bit odd - surely the same lens would be recorded if a photo really is a duplicate of another? Well, yes, but for some reason some programs change the name of the lens when the format of the photo is converted. For example, a DNG might say "EF17-40mm f/4L USM" while the JPG created as an export of this says "17.0-40.0 mm".

We've upgraded (at last!)

Finally, we've moved from Kayako SupportSuite to Fusion. This has been a long time coming, simply because of time constraints. We hope the new helpdesk is an improvement for you!

New version of Jpeg2000 loader released

Jim Keir (Import) — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 18:45:13 +0000

A new build of the JPEG2000 loader for Lightroom has been released, fixing a potential deadlock. This happened sometimes when lots of images were being opened and closed rapidly. To upgrade, simply download the newest version from http://www.lightroom-plugins.com/JP2index.php .

New partner site launched

Jim Keir (Import) — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 13:45:56 +0000

Recently released, a new site www.fsmissioneditor.com is now offering sales and support of a GUI-based interactive mission editor and debugger for Microsoft Flight Simulator X and Lockheed Martin Prepar3D . If you use one of these simulators and would like to be able to create your own missions, please visit and see for yourself!

Lightroom Backup Cleaner Updated

Jim Keir (Import) — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 19:36:08 +0000

The Lightroom Backup Cleaner was updated today to fix a bug where old backup paths which no longer exist were causing error messages to appear. If you were not having this problem, there is no need to update.

Update to Alamy Picture Manager Released

Jim Keir (Import) — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 12:23:56 +0000

Today we released a significant update to the Alamy Picture Manager for Lightroom, available from http://www.lightroom-plugins.com . The update adds official support for Lightroom 3 and adds some often-requested new features.

- You can now select which images you want to fetch Alamy data for, instead of selecting images by license type or status
- The plugin will now set your Lightroom keyword hierarchy as well as the Alamy-specific "Main" and "Essential" keyword fields, if you have Lightroom 3
- Image uploading has had the timeout extended to 5 minutes from 30 seconds, reducing the number of missed uploads

We hope this update will prove useful to photographers using Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and Alamy Images.

Alamy Plugin updated

Jim Keir (Import) — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 11:55:56 +0000

A small but significant change on Alamy's website prevented the Alamy Lightroom plugin from logging in. This was first reported this morning, and the change has been found and fixed.

You can use the "Check for Updates" feature in the plugin, or download the new version directly from http://www.lightroom-plugins.com/download.php .
