Lightroom Question (export different presets)

kwcrow

I do Senior portraits and I give the client the pictures on DVD.

I want to essentially export all of the photos with different develop presets applied.

i.e. B&W, Vignette, Sepia, B&W+Black Vignette, B&W+White Vignette, Sepia+Black Vignette......

Ideally I would want to apply these on export and get all of the different versions of the original print to a directory without making X number of virtual copies of each image first. Is there an easy way to do this in Lightroom 3.

Thanks,
-Kevin

I can't think of a way to make that work without virtual copies. I think it would be cool if it were possible to create a set of snapshots for a given photo and then export a copy/version of each snapshot during export. It might be possible to make an export plugin that does that, but I don't currently know of any.

I think the best way to do this is apply a preset to my pictures.
Export them to a sub-directory with those settings.
Then undo preset and apply next preset and export those to a directory with that preset name.
Undo..... Apply Next..... Export......
Until all are exported and then Undo and leave originals in Tact.

I think you are on to something here; Select all - apply preset - export and repeat that
