Lightroom, Smugmug, Facebook

jcdill

Does anyone here use Lightroom to publish your photos both to Smugmug and to Facebook? Is there a simple way to streamline the publishing process so that people who find their photos thru Facebook can quickly and easily click thru to Smugmug to purchase prints? Is there a way, thru Lightroom, to "tag" the photos so that they get uploaded to facebook already tagged for the people who are shown, or do you have to do this manually on the Facebook website after you upload the photos?

Thanks!

I publish directly to galleries I use frequently using Lightroom, for example my 365 project. For one time upload to client galleries I just export and upload using the standard uploader in the browser after creating the gallery.

As a note I don't use Lightroom's built in Smugmug uploader. I still use Jeffery Freidl's plugin and find it suits my needs. I tried the built in SmugMug uploader when LR3 came out and found it buggy. I have not retried it yet.

Automations like you ask about do not exist. You still need to tag people manually, and provide a link to your smug gallery if you want to cross-promote. Like Chris, I also use the Friedl plugins (for FB and Smug) and love them.
