Exporting from LR2

Is there a way to create an export preset to send images to a gmail account?

Bill, welcome to the forums.

Yes, exactly how depends on your OS. What are you using?

If you think you'll be with us for a while, it's helpful to readers and contributors alike, if you build a signature block with pertinent computer and software specs. Camera and personal stuff too if you like. Click 'User CP' at top right of forum. See any thread for numerous examples.

I see that you got an answer to this question over at the Adobe U2U. If that worked for you, you might like to share it with the folks here.

Since I'm running Windows, I'd have given you completely different advice, which of course is why I asked.

It was suggested that I use GmailFS and mount Gmail as a drive. I had already tried mounting Gmail as an application, but that did not work. In looking into downloading GmailFS, it became quite complex, and seemed to require downloading other programs as well. I decided that this solution was too complex and I did not do it, so can't tell you if it would work. I am still hoping there may be a more direct solution

Bill, we had a thread on Mac Lr email capabilities in one of the private 'guru/admin' forums here. Unfortunately, I can't link to it, but I'll quote our lead guru, Victoria Bampton:

Interesting, I'd never noticed that Mac Thunderbird didn't work.

I use a program called MailPlane http://mailplaneapp.com/ and that attachs from LR just fine.

See if that helps, if not, I expect VB will be by with some personal advice shortly.

Yep, MailPlane works a treat for this.

Thanks for confirming that. I will download mailplane and give it a try.

There's a preset out there that you can download for free for Flicker & Gmail! I've downloaded it, got to find out what the website was? If I can find it, I'll post it!

 

[Bill_in_WI]

Thanks. I've been using Mailplane which does work well, but I'd be interested in the other program if you can find the website.
