Features

• The real deal

  SlideShowPro for Lightroom contains the same software as our Flash component, but in a compiled form that's editable from within Lightroom.

• No Flash required

  No Flash (or Flash experience for that matter) required. Everything is self-contained and ready to export locally or upload to your web site.

• Real-time live preview

  Change any of SlideShowPro's 120+ parameters and preview your changes inside a real, working slideshow before publishing.

• Ready-made templates

  Comes with four pre-built templates, each containing multiple options for aspect ratio, format and size. 32 options total for a "fitted" look quickly and easily.

• Quality photo publishing

  Built on the industry standard backbone of Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom publishes top-quality, web optimized imagery for your slideshow automatically.

• Customizable header

  Brand your slideshow with a logo (plus hyperlink), title, and description. Includes full control over alignment, spacing and style.

• Integrated "wet floor" effect

  Flick a switch, and your slideshow has a cool, wet floor reflection underneath itself that continually updates as the slideshow changes.

• Build your own captions

  EXIF, IPTC and file metadata available to build your own custom image titles and captions to display inline or as an image overlay in SlideShowPro.

• Automatic watermarking

  Need extra security? Watermarks (using your image's copyright metadata) can be assigned to all your images on export.

• Integrated FTP upload

  Upload your slideshow directly to your web server from within Lightroom without a separate FTP client, and bookmark it for updating anytime you need to.

• Savable templates

  Publishing more than one slideshow with different settings? Save them as templates you can retrieve anytime to update with new content.

• Always up to date

  Because the engine uses SlideShowPro for Flash, it will always be kept up to date with the very latest version available to users of the Flash component.

How it works

Easy installation

SlideShowPro for Lightroom installs as a "web engine" for Adobe Lightroom. You simply drag a folder to an existing location on your computer, launch Lightroom, and the engine is available in the application's "Web module" workspace. Click on "Web" in the top nav, select SlideShowPro as your gallery template, and you're off.

Total image control

ABOVE: Adobe Lightroom's Filmstrip

Because SlideShowPro for Lightroom uses the original imagery you're already managing in Lightroom, you choose slideshow content just like currently do - through Filters, Collections and Folders in the Filmstrip. Any settings or filters assigned to an image will be used when Lightroom exports large/thumbnail web-optimized duplicates for your slideshow, so you don't have to recreate images or make changes to your existing content.

Nothing to code or edit

If the acronyms HTML, XML, and SWF raise your blood pressure, don't worry. SlideShowPro for Lightroom constructs all the requisite files necessary for viewing in a web browser. You either export your slideshow to a folder on your hard drive (then manually upload it to your web site or add to Dreamweaver), or enter your web site's FTP information directly into Lightroom for direct uploading. Either way, there's nothing to code, and your content can display from any web server.

Point and click interface

ABOVE: Web panel slider

Need your slideshow to be a particular size? Or color? Or you'd rather not include a particular interface element inside SlideShowPro? SlideShowPro has over 60 parameters that control its appearance, layout, and behavior; all of which are editable through color pickers, drop-down boxes, and sliders inside Lightroom. And anytime you make a change, the live preview of SlideShowPro refreshes to show your changes. This allows you the time to get your slideshow looking and behaving exactly as you want it before placing it online.

Always editable

ABOVE: Saved Lightroom templates

Save your creation as a template within Lightroom and to update anytime. Create multiple templates for more than one slideshow, and your unique settings for each will be saved. Whether you're publishing one slideshow or a hundred, you can always make changes.

SlideShowPro Director compatible

Extend your publishing power with SlideShowPro Director. Simply assign the URL of the content you want, and your Director formats web-optimized duplicates for your Lightroom gallery.
