Lightroom Tip - Using the Web Module
I decided to give the Web module in Lightroom a try to see if I could improve the look of some of my non-flash (html) portfolios.
If you are going to use the Web
Module there are a couple of things you need to be aware
of:
1. You have to use Collections to select images for the
Web Module
Lightroom v1 Web module behavior has changed in that you
have to make a "Collection" from which you then send the
images to the Web Module. You are not able to select a
sub-set of Library images as you could do with the previous
betas; and as you were able to do for the Print and
Slideshow modules.
It is possible to create a sub-folder with the images you
want and then select the Web module.
2. Make sure you use the Add Button after customizing your
Web layout
It is really easy to spend time fine tuning you web
template and then lose your work by selecting another
preset. To save a modified template you need to click the
"Add" button and give it a new name.
If you make further changes you will need to repeat the
"Add" process and save with a different name. Hopefully
this clunky interface behavior will be fixed in a future
version.
So my plan is to upgrade my non-flash portfolios to
Lightroom generated ones as I prefer the result to what I
have to-date. You can see a finished example in the
non-flash close-up portfolio.
Hope you find this useful.
