Adobe Photoshop Lightroom v1 - Using the Web Module
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.
