THE ONE SECRET Lightroom feature EVERY photographer should be using

One of my favorite features in Adobe Lightroom is the mobile syncing function. My favorite use in addition to syncing to the mobile app is the ability to create web galleries that automatically sync to your edits. This is particularly useful in collaboration situations when working with a client. In this tutorial I will show you how to create these.

My name is Ted Forbes and I make videos about photography. I’ve been making photographs most of my life and I have a tremendously deep passion for photography that I want to share with you on KZbin.
The Art of Photography is my channel and I produce photography videos to provide a 360 degree look into the world of making images. We all want to get better so lets do this together!
I make videos covering famous photographers, photography techniques, composition, the history of photography, philosophy and much more.
I also have a strong community of photographers who watch the show and we frequently do social media challenges for photographers to submit their own work. I feature the best and most interesting on the show when we do these so come check it out and get involved!

After 4 years of photography at university, this is the most precise and easy to follow piece of practical advice for sharing images that I have seen. No more flashdrives for this bunny! Thank you Ted

[@8bitjimmy]

I'm very new to Lightroom after grudgingly leaving Aperture. I've been looking for a way to make private proofing galleries. Amazing. Mind = blown. Game = changed. Thank you so much!

[@WMARUoriginal]

I was using syncing to edit on my iPad, but using this for sharing just blew my mind. Great tip!

[@neilcallaghan4457]

Ted, thanks so much for sharing this with us - I have Lightroom, and had NO idea this function was available. It will be fantastic for the type of work I`m looking to share with my customers, so will help me no-end. A massive Thankyou !

[@cheffrin3751]

This. Is. Awesome! I honestly was just buying cheap thumb drives for all my clients digital photos and handing it over with the prints. Thanks for the great advice! Love your channel!

[@Nick-lh3vw]

More Lightroom tutorials! Great video Ted!

[@NadjaNiemann]

Ooooooooh sweet! Thanks for this little tutorial. Will set it up asap.

[@johntazbaz1121]

Ted, I was eager to learn about this feature, but had to stop at the 20 second mark after seeing a Catch That Pigeon clip. Are you kidding me?! I LOVED that as a kid. I’ve been quite the fan of you and your channel lately, but this just elevated you into a whole new level! Maybe I should watch the rest of the video now, lol.

[@theartofphotography]

+John Tazbaz ha! Stop the Pigeon was a fav of mine ;-)

[@BrianAndersonPhotography]

Collections - the hidden utility knife of Lightroom :)

[@theartofphotography]

+Brian Anderson amen brother

[@Dgr1zzl3]

This type of thing is awesome to learn about. I use sync for LR mobile but didn't know about the web link for it! Great tip

[@deianowen144]

Wow! This is going to be so ridiculously useful! Thank you so much.

[@stellakphotography3794]

Thank you Ted❣️ I am using Lightroom for few years and never use this before. Great to know and I going to use it for now on 😀

[@davidw.r.7801]

Great info. You do learn something everyday! Thanks Ted

[@ChrisSalePhoto]

What an incredibly useful feature Ted. I recently shot an event for a pal of mine and was going to send him the images on a USB stick, not any more! Would I like to see more videos like this? Hell yes!

[@afranioantunes]

Thanks Ted, grate tip and fantastic photos! The sun on the bridge, beautiful!

[@caitlyncawley7967]

I found this really useful! I'm not even a photographer but I'm interested I learning some digital art and image manipulation basics, so this video convinced me to subscribe. Thanks!

[@AnthonyJohnston1]

Ted this is super helpful as I am currently just starting my first major photography job!

[@lauracaptaintv]

This is great to know and can come in very handy. Thanks for the video.

[@petergunndetective]

Very cool. I will definitely be using that feature in about 2 weeks time. Thanks man.

[@PerEinarL]

If you use Photoshop to open the images first and save them as psp files, you can import the psp files and share them as Ted shows here and the editing you do in Photoshop will also sync the same way when you open Lightroom. But it works slower as Lightroom use some longer time to load changes to the psp files.

[@nataliecooper2042]

Thank you for this info. As someone new to lightroom, I am grateful for the education.

[@jamesahollandjr8991]

Very neat I didn't know about these features. Very cool.

[@nige1rumsey]

That is brilliant. Up to now I've been exporting them all to Dropbox, creating an album and then sharing that. This takes out about 75% of the work. Thanks!

[@petrolhead360]

Great tip. I will start using for sharing family photos. Thanks

[@charlietighe]

I had no idea about sharing for download. This is a game changer! No more exporting and uploading the dropbox :)

[@hphdk]

Super feature - I believed that I knew nearly all features, but happily to be wrong. Thank you for this and all the other cool stuff you are making

[@BruceLeroyUK]

I have been using Lightroom for years and did not know that. Thank you.

[@JacobR2]

This is wildly helpful, thanks!

[@larrymorris8060]

Thanks Ted! I watched this episode and it instantly changed how I edit with my clients.

[@FrankBusatto]

Great!! Really great!! Thanks Ted!! More like this, please.

[@TheBiggervern]

Thank you so much. Yes, more tips like this please Ted.

[@BubblesPothowari]

Loved the lesson !!!!

[@sjsphotog]

Great vid Ted. I agree a great feature that is under utilized by many. Helps to get realtime feedback from the client/customer on what they like/dont like. If you had 3 different versions (virtual copies) of an image say Regular, B&W and Split Toned, that you created they could say which one they liked the best and then you could easily show whats possible and they could choose. Sometimes the customer doesnt know what is possible unless you steer them in the right direction. Its your vision, so....use the power of the tools. Keep it up

[@merdusk237]

Awesome tip Ted! I'm a newbie at LR and would love if you keep making videos on it.

[@ry92ukwj]

Great video as always! I just got Adobe CC a couple of weeks ago and my 2 favorite apps are Lightroom and Premiere! Super amazing programs! 😀

[@theartofphotography]

+Rory Marion I thought you'd been using premiere longer. Were you on final cut?

[@ry92ukwj]

Sort of. When I first got into Video Production I got this program called Wondershare Filmora Pro. It was like $80 and I had used up until about a year ago when I really go serious about Video Production. That's when I checked out Final Cut on my friends Mac. It looked really good but unfortunately, I use a PC so that's when I got the trial version of Adobe CC and all its apps. I really loved all the programs but it was a bit too much money than I had. Then I won DevinSuperTramp's stuntman contest a couple of weeks ago and got a years worth of CC for free! Don't know what I will do when the years over though! I better start saving! 😀

[@Call_Me_Mom]

That looks really handy. Thank you.

[@santikorestuadhi9040]

Wow those photos are so sharp

[@carlwells9461]

This is great. Concise, packed with information. Thank you very much for this quick tutorial.

[@alyssaramirez9880]

Wow I've been using Pixieset but I like this so much better! Thanks for the tutorial!

[@louieborges8684]

I didn’t know about this and just did it for a client. You’re awesome for sharing this. Thanks again.

[@dajusta87]

Pretty awesome! I will try this tonight!!

[@adrianj.8433]

Many thanks for this. Really cool feature.

[@HostessAtHeart]

Great tutorial! Love Lightroom tips!

[@PatrickFryer]

Thanks for sharing Ted!

[@mondujar279]

Thanks Ted I did not know about that feature. I thought I knew lr inside out but there’s a lot of features there

[@stlmills911]

Very helpful video!! i would love to see more like it

[@keithswindell6212]

Stop the Pigeon was one of my favorite cartoons as a kid!

[@ricaa50]

I have been uploading to Dropbox. Even though I use Lightroom mobile I just never thought to share the files. Something now so simple to do. Thank you!

[@astravanman1]

This is awesome I never knew about this. Thank you. This is going to save so much time exporting & uploading to Dropbox

[@Lebowski_Jeffrey]

Excellent tip. And yes i would like to see more of these. Keep up the good work Ted Forbes.

[@toms2145]

This is my favorite video of the month. Thank you for making this. 😁

[@Tech4YourNeeds]

Yes this kind of tutorials are helpful.

[@jimleonardphotography1687]

Thanks Ted, I'd love to see more of these lessons and tips.

[@akesq01]

Very handy. Thank you!

[@manojbharadwaj456]

Super Cool, super useful Please do more these tiny usefull videos.

[@LarryHyett]

Incredibly useful tip Ted. I've been looking for a way to share travel photos with my travel companions. This is fantastic!

[@husker_nation]

Thank you so much! I have my first shoot EVER and was curious how I was going to deliver my photos digitally to them!!! Lifesaver!

[@mfryworld]

Fantastic! I have been using Photog to do the same things you showed here. Dropped them and simplified my work flow. Thanks!

[@hankchanaski2181]

You are the man Ted!

[@Samsonimages]

Thanks for sharing, I do like the instant update feature! I tend to use Dropbox which most people have an account for already. Or If I am trying to encourage more people to my website, I use that. I give a code to clients and they can download everything through there without making an account.

[@navicto]

Syncing collections is by far the most practical way I've seen of posting to Instagram

[@batmandalorian5504]

How do you do that ?

[@navicto]

1) Make sure your lightroom collection is synced to the cloud (as Ted just showed), 2) Install lightroom mobile on your phone, 3)open the app, find the picture you want, hit the share button and it'll have an option for instagram.

[@batmandalorian5504]

Fantastic, thank you

[@theartofphotography]

Totally agree - great way to plan your posts in advance too.

[@prodigy2k7]

I sync to my website via smugmug plugin for lightroom

[@WillCookVLOGS]

Wow! Did not know this, thank you so much!

[@jerimiahsmith9759]

Very awesome I had no idea, thank you!

[@allenhill2622]

Thank you so much! It's the strangest coincidence that I was having trouble sharing photos with clients and friends, you're the best.

[@snapninja3454]

Thanks that is so cool! I messed that in all my lightroom learning.

[@nerwin]

I had no idea haha. You know what would be cool though and who knows, maybe it's already built in, but say if you send 100 photos like this to a client and they pick their best using the favorite icon and it shows up in your Lightroom library so you can quickly narrow it down. That's something that needs to be added if it isn't already. Great video Ted!

[@nerwin]

Okay so it does kind of. It will show the like in the comments panel under Metadata in the library module. Just don't know if it can be sorted that way to only show the liked pictures.

[@wahabdilawar]

Brilliant. Thanks for sharing.

[@erickrobertrombanocarandan9595]

super useful! thanks Ted! :)

[@jeffxgoodman67]

I had NO idea this feature was available, and I'm sure I'm not alone. Thank you so much for the tutorial!

[@pat_makes_stuff]

Superb, Thanks Ted!

[@aleson8590]

This was great thank you!!

[@AngelaTolsma]

So useful! I've been trying to find something similar for months!

[@TheWallgazer]

wow thanks man, very helpful info

[@ibrokemyfingerbowlin]

Another great video! I just started using LR and this sort of video is very helpful to me. Please make more. Thanks!

[@janajaepas]

I really appreciate this video! I have gone back to it several times to refresh my mind on how to share the collections. I would love to see more. Do you know where I can find out what size files are uploaded? I am wondering if they are print quality to supply to the client.

[@MohitWhabi]

THANK YOU!!!!! Love it!

[@pawesedrowski6743]

I prefer using Nextcloud - I have it on my own dedicated server so I don't have to trust public clouds and I have much more sharing options like protecting a share with passwords or defining a date to automatically stop sharing. Also I'm not only limited to photos as all kinds of files can be synced.

[@seunosipitan]

This was so helpful, I would definitely like to see more of these. Thanks so much Ted.

[@MikeAffinityTuts]

Very Helpful Thank You

[@Roz-Inspire-Video]

Love it...thanks

[@JonathanThompsonStoryteller]

Awesome tip and something I'm just realising LR has as an ability. The only drawback for me is having the client sign up for an Adobe account, which isn't a huge deal.

[@Deredbaron]

Ted you just blew my mind

[@trevorsoh2130]

Amazing video - thanks

[@jasonosborne8419]

very useful thanks for the tip!

[@johnfj]

More! I had no idea Lightroom had this feature 🤔😮

[@garyclayton4652]

Awesome. Thank you

[@philipvignola]

Nice tip thanks so much for sharing

[@TeneshaT1]

Great info, Thanks

[@RomelVelasco]

Thanks for this video, Ted! Very helpful. I’m definitely going to try this feature in Lightroom.

[@thomasjbrablec]

Great tip! I would like to see more of these in the future both for Lightroom and Photoshop!

[@darienburton9150]

Very Helpful

[@AnthonyJohnston1]

This is amazing Ted. Absolutely love your channel
