Upload with Lightroom: Install the Lightroom Plugin

Updated
Adobe Lightroom is a separate software package that helps photographers and visual asset managers import, process, and manage their photos. The Lightroom Plug-in enables Contributors to Export images straight from their personal Lightroom catalogue into an organization's PhotoShelter account. Before uploading, you should have already received an email inviting you to contribute to this PhotoShelter for Brands account, and clicked a link to set a password to go with your email address. Read more about accepting your Contributor invitation.
 
This plug-in works with Adobe Lightroom Classic.
