Sync Your Lightroom Collections With Your iPad, Automatically [How-To. I love having my photos on my iPad, but I hate using iPhoto to get them there. To be honest, I just hate iPhoto, along with its more complicated and even more sluggish cousin, Aperture. I use Lightroom, and up until last week I was exporting photos from there into iPhoto just to sync them. Not only was this a headache, but it was a waste of space. Now, you can tell iTunes to sync any folder of photos to the iPad, but with a little bit of effort things can be made much more elegant. By setting up Lightroom correctly, we can have any changes to our photos mirrored to the iPad at the touch of a button, and the whole process is near-automatic. This method makes use of Lightroom’s Publish Services. If we publish to a local folder, we can point iTunes at that folder and have it sync to your iDevice.
The Setup The following steps can be more or less achieved with Lightroom’s native tools, but I’m using a plugin from the always excellent Jeffrey Friedl. Right click the new service and set it up.

Lightroom Plug-ins. Integrating barcode asset management... I have discovered to my delight that you can integrate Lightroom and barcode based print asset management. This is a way to: automate the printing of labels for images without any rekeying of information, andautomate the process of finding the image from which a print was made Why do this? You may sell prints or just make them for your own pleasure. Caveat: Apologies to Mac users, I have only worked this out on a PC. What you need to do this [on a PC]: Lightroom (LOL)LR/Transporter (incredibly useful for many things)Excel (optional but part of my workflow)A way to print labels with barcodes.
How I do it: I'll sketch how I do it with the specific gear I have and then suggest how you may get by with other gear. Simplest workflow: Set up LR/Transporter to export a summary file from image exports that includes all the fields you may want on your label (including filename of course). In reality, I use excel as an intermediary to read the LR/Transporter data and reformat some items.

Raw file formats are extremely popular in digital photography workflows because they offer creative professionals greater creative control. However, cameras can use many different raw formats — the specifications for which are not publicly available — which means that not every raw file can be read by a variety of software applications.
As a result, the use of these proprietary raw files as a long-term archival solution carries risk, and sharing these files across complex workflows is even more challenging. The solution to this is Digital Negative (DNG), a publicly available archival format for the raw files generated by digital cameras. By addressing the lack of an open standard for the raw files created by individual camera models, DNG helps ensure that photographers will be able to access their files in the future. Hundreds of software manufacturers such as Apple and Google have developed support for DNG. Thésaurus Lightroom spécial Paris : l'outil idéal des photographes parisiens.
Quand on commence à avoir une somme importante de photos, il devient difficile de s’y retrouver avec seulement l’organisation par dossiers ou dates. Il est alors indispensable de bien taguer ses photos en utilisant des mots-clés. Mais cette opération peut vite se révéler fastidieuse : chaque photos peut nécessiter plusieurs mots-clés, et outre le temps que ça prends de les rentrer un à un, il faut avoir l’imagination nécessaire pour penser à tous les mots définissant une photo.
Heureusement, il est possible de créer ce qu’on appelle des thésaurus, c’est à dire ni plus ni moins qu’une liste de mot-clés qui peut être importer dans Lightroom. Un thésaurus de 8300 mots-clés dédié à la photographie Parisienne Ayant découvert cette fonctionnalité de thésaurus lors d’une formation Lightroom chez regart.net j’ai tout de suite vu l’énorme potentiel que je pouvais tirer de cette méthode dans ma pratique quotidienne.
