Publish services from print module

[retina]

Hi - not quite sure which section this should really appear in but hey ...

I have a workflow where I create a landscape (format) print layout with two images side by side with white borders. These are then exported as JPEG for use in a web site gallery.

I want to use a third part gallery plug-in that relies upon using a 'publish service' in the library module. My problem is that I have to use the print module to create the two up layout, print as JPEG (high quality) to a local drive, then reimport to then publish. This is a long winded way of doing things of course. Anybody know of a way to have the same 'two up' layout, as defined in the print module, made available to the publishing services?

Cheers

You could print as JPEG and send the files into a specific, then use LR's auto import feature to bring them into LR. A smart publish collection could then pick it up.

Hmmm - interesting idea. I'll give that a try this weekend. Thanks for the suggestion John.
