In the eventuality that you are thinking of pursuing a career as a professional photographer, then there is a fair chance that you are already honing your photo manipulation skills with Adobe Lightroom. While editing is an important part of the job, you also need to consider using a tool that enables you to make final edits and upload your photos to your personal blog or website.
As the name suggests, Piwigo for Lightroom is an extension that enables you to make the last retouches on your images before uploading them to Piwigo.
First off, you should know that you need to be logged in your account in order to use the export features available. Once you are over this step, you can configure the photo or album that you intend to upload.
More precisely, you can set the privacy level and make the collection private or available for everyone, enable performance tuning so that you can include the same picture in multiple albums and synchronize the comments and ratings for the uploads.
The plugin comes with several extra options that allow you to import albums from Lightroom Publish Service, Download collections to your local drives or create associations between the pictures you store in both services' catalogs.
It is important to note that the extension allows you to perform a few minor adjustments to your images before uploading them to Piwigo. Therefore, you can rename the files using a custom text, select the desired extension along with the quality and limit size, apply sharpening and include your custom watermark. On a side note, you should know that the utility allows you to design your custom watermark.
In addition, the plugin enables you to edit the metadata that you want to associate with the images. Consequentially, you can remove personal information and any data related to the location where the picture was taken or you all just add all metadata available with the photo, so that it is easier to find later on.
Piwigo for Lightroom is an easy-to-use utility that allows you to export photos that you edited and tweaked in Adobe Lightroom to Piwigo without too much hassle.
