Adobe Lightroom: how to share photos in ways you didn’t expect

In this section we take a closer look at your photo sharing option. Prints, Facebook and Flickr are not the only way to share photos in Adobe Lightroom. You’ll find three more.

Adobe Lightroom also offers Web Galleries, Slideshows and – new in Adobe Lightroom 4 – Books.

The Web Galleries module follows the now-familiar Adobe Lightroom format of preset templates in the left sidebar and manual customising tools on the right.

Each Web Gallery consists of one or more index pages linked to individual photos.

Adobe Lightroom exports finished HTML files, which it can then upload directly to your web host (you will need a web hosting account and FTP upload details from your service provider).

Slideshows are a good way to show off your pictures to friends or clients. Again, you have a choice of templates on the left, and manual controls on the right.

The Book module has been produced in conjunction with online books publisher Blurb.

Instead of using web-based layout tools or a separate program, you can design books entirely within Lightroom. You then upload and order your book from Blurb.
