Publish a Gallery from Lightroom

A collection set under the “aftersnap” publish service becomes a gallery, and the collections inside it become its sets. Lightroom renders the images as it publishes, so exporting to a folder is gone, and a changed edit is simply published again.

How Lightroom and aftersnap line up #

A collection set is a gallery. The published collections inside it are its sets.

Anna and Jonas          Gallery
  Getting Ready         Set
  Ceremony              Set
  Party                 Set

A single published collection without a collection set becomes a gallery with one set.

Lightroom renders the images with the settings of the publish service and transfers them to aftersnap.

  1. Create a new collection set under the “aftersnap” publish service and give it the gallery title.
  2. Create one published collection inside it for every set.
  3. Drag the finished photos into the matching collections.
  4. Click “Publish”.
Check the result

Open the gallery in the browser. Cover photo, download, password and the client link are set there, and that is where you publish the gallery.

When you change the edit of a photo that has already been published, Lightroom marks it for publishing again.

  1. Open the published collection in question.
  2. Go through the sections for new, modified and deleted photos.
  3. Click “Publish” again.

Bring existing galleries into Lightroom #

Galleries you created in the browser can be taken over by the plugin as published collections.

  1. Switch on “Show existing galleries in Lightroom” under “Lightroom plugin” in the dashboard.
  2. In Lightroom, choose “Library > Plug-in Extras > aftersnap: Sync galleries”.

What comes across is the structure: galleries become collection sets, sets become collections. Photos that were uploaded through the browser cannot be assigned as published in hindsight.
