Mod Note: Moved from Tips/Tricks, see following post


Hi everyone Im new to the forum and I would like to start my first post with what I think is the missing link to using PS Actions in LR. I discovered it while exploring LR 1.2 but the full protenal of this is with Lightroom 2.
Everybody is talking about using Droplets when exporting images but you can use Actions (Droplets) directly in LR and have the Edit saved back to LR as it dose when editing in Photoshop. This is Not the run Action when exporting method.
I have created a tutorial on my blog see what you think I cant believe no ones talked about this. Im I the only one to discover this trick. Looking forward to hearing your comments.

Pixelpusher, Welcome to LR Forums.

I've moved your post from Tips/Tricks, because we try to discourage discussion in that forum, in order to concentrate on 'ready-to-use' solutions.

Although your post is fundamentally a tip/trick, you've specifically encouraged discussion and comment on your post, so I've moved it to a more appropriate forum. Feel free to repost the completed tip when you've digested the commentary here.

Let the discussion begin ....

Nice one! And just in time as I need it tonight.

In the past, I made an action that I run annually on a batch of football players individual photos turning them into something like collector's cards... I then use them in a calendar that I publish for the teams annually. The action do pause to let me customize text like player's name etc. and then continue.

And I was just about to do it again :)

Glad to know someone's making use of this, let us know how it turns out. I hope to combine this workflow process with Automator and process multiple wedding images and upload them to the web automaticity. That's some hard drive space you have there Denis.
