FTP Publisher Launched!
Timothy Armes has released yet another new plugin.
FTP Publisher will be of great interest to anyone who needs to upload images directly to an FTP server via Lightroom.
Although this plugin will function in Lightroom 2, users of Lightroom 3 will gain the most benefit since FTP Publisher makes use of the new Publish Services.
This allows users to create a collection hierarchy containing images that need to be uploaded and synchronised with a server.
Lightroom remembers which images have been modified or removed from the collections and will apply these changes to the server when you ask it to do so.
The plugin is donationware and may be downloaded from the Photographer’s Toolbox.

The Life Poster Redux
Back in 2005 Mike Matas published instructions on how to create what's called a Life Poster. It's a 20" x 30" poster that holds 98 pictures.
Back then it was done using iPhoto or Adobe Photoshop.
Fast-forward to today where I'm offering the Print Preset for Adobe Photoshop Lightroom that accomplishes the same thing.
The easiest way to do this is to create a collection of 98 pictures (you can use the quick collection, by pressing the keyboard shortcut B). Afterwards, you go to the print module where you'll have downloaded the 20 x 30 Poster preset.
Once there, just select the collection that you're going to use and click Command+A (Control+A) to select all the pictures in the collection. This should populate the poster.
Because you are in a collection, you can re-arrange the order of the pictures, to create a more pleasing layout.
From here, all you need is to print to a file, by changing the print control from Printer to JPEG File.
All you'll need to do is take your file to Kinko's or send the file to your favorite Online Printer.
