They are again in an automatically created Collection (like a PhotoLab Project), which makes the next steps easy, plus they are also placed in the same folder as the originals, and automatically stacked with their originals. This step takes a while, between PhotoLab’s export and Lightroom spotting the newly arrived files and automatically importing them. When all of the photos are done, I return to the Project view, select them all, and click “Export to Lightroom.” I use PhotoLab to get that legendary sharpness and noise reduction, plus all the other tweaks needed. When PhotoLab 3 opens, the images are all inside a newly created Project which is automatically opened, and so in the PhotoLab interface I am easily able to work with all of the images as I had previously. Then with those images selected, I send them to PhotoLab 3. I import, keyword, still write those to file for resilience purposes, then audition and select those I want to process, all in Lightroom. What I am doing now is using PhotoLab 3 only for the processing step. What I was doing was importing my images into Lightroom, adding keywords, saving the metadata to the files (DNG files) and then fully switching over to PhotoLab 3 to select, process, and export my images. I have written elsewhere in this forum about my love for the way Lightroom handles keywords and this is the only reason I use it. I have a free Adobe account, which enables me to run Lightroom and use the Library module without restriction. So well, in fact, that I have reworked my processing flow for some significant improvements.įirst up, I do not pay for Lightroom. Following the documentation, I got it installed and am delighted to find it works really well. Because I only installed Lightroom after PhotoLab 3, this had not installed. Over the weekend I (re-)discovered that PhotoLab 3 has a Lightroom plugin that facilitates sending images back and forth.
