![]() ![]() For the speediest Lightroom experience, store your catalog(s) on your fastest drive-say, a solid-state (SSD) or hybrid (part SSD, part traditional spinning platter drive). You can also control where your Lightroom catalog lives, though you can’t put it on a server catalogs must reside on local drives attached to your Mac. This setup also lets you store images wherever you want: in your Pictures folder or in a custom folder structure (say, by date or event) on an internal or external drive, or network server. This segregation of image files from editing info means you can undo anything you do to an image in Lightroom anytime you want. Or from Flickr, disable "Download Original".As this infographic illustrates, your Lightroom experience consists of four parts: your images, the Lightroom application, catalog(s) containing records that point to your images, and a presets folder. Unfortunately I don't think I see such files for Publishing Services.Īs was mentioned already, you may want to use 1024 if you are concerned people could steal your original photo for print. If you entered 1 for "W:", you will find a "size_maxWidth = 1" line in your preset file, which you could modify with a text editor to "size_maxWidth = 0". For example, my "To JPEG (sRGB, 2048)" preset is stored as "To JPEG (sRGB, 2048).lrtemplate". If you feel adventurous, note that your Export Presets are stored in text files in your Lightroom User dir. Not a problem though, you can specify 20 in the input boxes, and your photo will be at most 2048 wide for landscape, and 2048 tall for portraits. It will only let you go as low as 1, not 0. UPDATE: well, turns out this 0 value for "W:" was working when in LR2, not anymore in LR3. Below is a screenshot for my Export preset, but the "Image Sizing" section is the same in your publishing service. The 0 value here instructs LR to constraint the width to your maximum height (here, 2048) while keeping the same ratio. Now in the "W:" input box enter "0" for width, and in the "H:" input box enter "2048" for height. Go to the the "Image Sizing" section, check "Resize to Fit", select "Width & Height" and check "Don't Enlarge". Select your Publish to Flickr service, and pick "Edit Settings". Check Adobe's Specify export image sizing for more info. However, the "Image Sizing" parameters are exactly the same in the Publishing Services, so the info below still applies if you want to publish RAW files directly to Flickr and resize on the fly. The reason I do this is because I want to keep a copy of my JPEG files on disk to share them with other devices on my network. Note that I first export my RAW files to JPEG, then publish my JPEG files. ![]() My RAW files are 21MP, therefore to avoid the problem you mention I make sure the files are down-scaled to at most 2048 pixels vertically (my preference). There don't seem to be any user-servicable parts in there, unless I am missing something or looking in the wrong place. This is what I am looking at, from the Plugin Manager: If there is an option to do this in the Flickr plugin options, I can't find it. This works, but I am hoping for something more smooth (unlike I have no particular desire to keep the JPG images on my hard drive, though their existence wouldn't bother me). I can then publish those images to Flickr. Thanks to I have hope! I know that I can export the images to my hard drive, and as part of that, convert them to JPG and scale them down. So, is there a way to insert a Convert to JPEG operation before the actual publishing to Flickr? (I also want to scale the image down, if it is larger than a certain threshold.) (The publish to Facebook option works well for these, which surprises me, since I would expect Flickr to accept more formats, and I would expect the LR-FLickr integration to be more polished.) Still, I would hope that the Flickr integration would scale the image down, if necessary. It is possible that the issue is not that the image is RAW, but that it is too large. This is where the Publish to Flickr feature falls short. However, I often have RAW images, that I have tweaked exposure, white balance, etc, on, and I want to upload them to Flickr. When I have a JPEG image (that isn't too large for Flickr), this feature works very smoothly. ![]() I am using Lightroom 3, with the built-in Publish To Flickr feature. ![]()
