LR/Mogrify, this plugin at 2.1, now.

From Timothy Armes:

I've now released version 1.65 of LR/Mogrify. It's available here:

http://timothyarmes.com/lrmogrify.php

This version adds an FTP module to further improve your work flow. You can now also strip the ICC profile from exported images to reduce their size when the destination colourspace is known.

Advanced users will appreciate the ability to add extra paramters to both the beginning and end of the command line.

For those new to LR/Mogrify, this plugin post-processes your exported images using a powerful cross-platform freeware tool (ImageMagick).
Here's an (admittedly convoluted) example of what you can do in one export operation:

-> Output the image from LR as 16bit TIFF
-> Resize the exported image, using one of several advanced filters, to 16MPixels (regardless of aspect ratio - Alamy users take note)
-> Sharpen the resized image
-> Add a simple border
-> Place a graphical watermark over the top right using multiply mode
-> Convert the colourspace to that of your print lab's printer
-> Strip the profile to save space
-> Convert the image to JPEG
-> Send the result to your print lab's FTP server
-> Delete the exported file
-> Double Border possible

Obviously, there are many other possibilities. For those wishing to play with ImageMagick's command line options the possibilities are endless.

I've now reached the end of the list of requests that people have sent me. I'll only be doing bug fixes unless I have any more bright ideas. Therefore please let me know if there are any more features that you'd like adding.

Regards,

Tim

LR/Mogrify, this plugin at 1.6, now.

Timothy has released 2.1' of LR/Mogrify with many enhancements:

An important feature of this release is the ability to overlay textual annotations on exported images. The text may span several lines, and you may reference the photo's metadata. You may also choose the font, size, colour, background colour, opacity and position for the annotation.

The graphical watermark may now be repeated in any of the 9 positions, rather than just one at a time. The watermarks may now be overlayed after the border (and therefore on top of it).

Profile conversion now has a black point compensation feature.

Finally, you may adjust the brightness and saturation of the image, which will appeal to those of you who feel that the images in sRGB are too flat for most web users.

Keep an eye on this space, there's more to come soon... (including the major feature previously mentioned)

Regards,

Tim
