Export from Lightroom into a PhotoShelter for Brands Library

Updated

An "Export" is a straight upload of an image (or multiple images) from a Lightroom catalog into a PhotoShelter for Brands Library. This upload method works best for all PhotoShelter for Brands accounts with more than one user managing the Library.

Step 1: Download and Install the PhotoShelter for Brands version of the Lightroom Plug-in

Read the step-by-step on how to install the PhotoShelter for Brands Lightroom Plug-in here. Do not install the PhotoShelter Lightroom Plug-in.

Step 2: Select images for Export

  • Select the images in the catalog that you would like to upload to PhotoShelter for Brands.
    • Hold Shift or Command/CTRL to select more than one image at a time.
  • Click File > Export. The pop-up window might default to “Hard Drive”. Click the dropdown to select "Libris" (PhotoShelter for Brands was known as "Libris by PhotoShelter" until June 2020 - Branding on plugins will update soon).

  • Login as an Administrator or Editor using your PhotoShelter for Brands username (email address) and password. Note: if your organization has enabled SSO, you will not be able to login through SSO with this application. You will need to set a password to go with your email address as a PhotoShelter login in order to use this upload method.

  • The dialogue box will differ depending on whether or not you are an Admin, Editor, or Contributor. Administrators and Editors can select a destination for their upload, whereas Contributors cannot (their export becomes a new gallery in Incoming Files).
