Get client picks into Lightroom

When the client sends their picks, you get them as a line of file names. Paste that line into Lightroom's filter and the same frames show, RAW files included.

Copy the picks

  1. Open the gallery and go to its Picks view. It lists each visitor's favourites and print list, with their last submission.
  2. Press Copy next to the list you want.

Filter in Lightroom

  1. In the Library, open the filter bar and choose Text.
  2. Choose Filename and Contains.
  3. Paste the line.

The line has no file extensions, so it finds the RAW files as well as the JPEGs.

Questions

Can I add a film to a gallery?

Yes. On the gallery's Settings tab, under Films, choose Add a film and paste a YouTube or Vimeo link, with a title if you like. You can add up to 5 and put them in order. The film stays on your own channel, and clients play it from the gallery page. YouTube can mute or block a film with commercial music, even when it is unlisted, so check the link first. Anyone with an unlisted link can watch the film, even when the gallery is private.

Can I limit how many photos the client picks?

Yes. Set a pick limit on the gallery's Settings tab. A heart past the limit is refused and the client is told how many are picked.
