Lightroom (cloud): import albums and send picks

Beta This feature is in closed beta and is only available to selected accounts.

Besides the plugin for Lightroom Classic, Osvio has an integration with cloud-based Lightroom, which is not the same as Lightroom Classic. It's a closed beta, so it's only available to selected accounts.

To ask for access, email [email protected] from the address on your Osvio account and say you'd like to join the Lightroom (cloud) beta. See Contacting Osvio support.

What you need

An active Lightroom plan or trial on your Adobe account. A free Adobe ID isn't enough.

Connect

1. Open Settings → Integrations.
2. Under Adobe Photoshop Lightroom (marked Beta), select Connect and sign in with your Adobe account.
3. The connection shows Connected. If access expires you'll see Reconnect needed. Use Disconnect to remove it; your photos in Lightroom aren't changed.

Import an album

1. Open a gallery whose originals are stored on Osvio.
2. Select Import from Lightroom.
3. Choose an Album, and under What to import pick All photos or Only my Picks (photos you flagged as Pick in Lightroom).
4. Select Import. You can close the window; the import keeps running.

Photos arrive as full-size edited JPEGs, not RAW originals, and are processed like any other upload. The result shows how many photos were imported, how many were already in the gallery and how many couldn't be imported.

Send your client's picks back

In the gallery editor, open the Lightroom section of the audience panel and select Send picks to Lightroom. Osvio creates an album called "Osvio · gallery name · picks" in Lightroom. Sending again replaces that album with the current picks. Your original photos aren't touched.

Only liked photos that were imported from Lightroom can be sent back; the panel counts the ones that can't.

Limits

• Closed beta: available to selected accounts only.
• Import brings JPEGs, not RAW.
• If your plan's storage is full, the import stops with "Your plan's storage is full, so the remaining photos weren't imported."
