Then you get a link to share with anyone you want. Using the sharing features of Adobe Creative Cloud, you can instantly make individual photos or even entire albums public. After switching to the Creative Cloud Photography plan, that includes both Lightroom Classic CC and Lightroom CC, I have replaced all of that with a simple click of the mouse or tap of my iPad. I had a hierarchy of folders in my cloud storage service that I used for sharing, and a headache if I needed to re-share images after further edits. Psst…have you heard about Lightroom’s photo-sharing capabilities?īefore I jumped to Creative Cloud, I had several presets that I created to export images for different groups of people. This meant that relying on these plugins was an exercise in frustration and, more often than not, futility. Some social sites like Flickr and Facebook created plugins for Lightroom, but in my experience, those have been somewhat unreliable, and I have used some that were ultimately abandoned by their developers. The process could also be time-consuming, especially if exporting a large batch of images. Such as having duplicate copies of your shared images (one in your Lightroom catalog and one that you exported for sharing) and having to re-export and share images after you made any changes. Unfortunately, this also meant some hassles. Mostly, this involved exporting images to your computer and then uploading them to social media sites, online photo platforms, or even email them to friends, family, and clients. With all previous versions of Lightroom, sharing images involved a few steps and some hoops to jump through. This feature has been a total game-changer for me and it could re-shape the way you go about getting your work seen by others. One of the best, and also one of the least-talked-about, features has been the ability to share photos publicly right from Lightroom. While initially, I didn’t see a whole lot of benefits to this, I continue to discover all sorts of perks included in the Creative Cloud that I didn’t even think about before I jumped on the train.

I purchased a subscription to the Photography bundle which includes Lightroom and Photoshop. After years of resisting the urge to sign up for one of Adobe’s Creative Cloud plans, I finally gave in.
