Publish to Facebook with Adobe Lightroom 3.2

This is the last post on “publishing to Facebook” I promises, at least for the next few weeks, unless I suddenly get the urge to do a “Publish to Facebook with the iPhone” post.

To my surprise shortly after Adobe released Lightroom 3.0.1 comes 3.2 and this is more than bug fixes, under the hood enhancements and Camera Raw 6.2 Update too, built in is a Facebook publisher place under Publish Services along with the trusted Flickr and new SmugMug services, they must have been spooked by Apple’s Aperture 3.

Adobe Lightroom 3.2 Publish ServicesSo how hard is it to use? Well it literally takes 2 minutes to setup and you are ready to go, see bellow. Click on “Set up…”, authorize LR on Facebook with your login, pick a default Album, a few other settings and you are done.

to create a new album is just as easy, right click on the Facebook button, select “Create Collection…”, drop in the photos you want to upload then right click the newly created collection and select “Publish Now” and LR will do the rest.

Now what if you do not have Adobe Lightroom 3? There is a plug-in available from Jeffrey Friedl, you can find it here. He has a few more plug-ins so have a look around.

By the way you can download the update / trial for Adobe Lightroom 3.2 for Windows from here.

The quick way to publish to Facebook with Windows Live Essential

For those that are as lazy as I am there are easier ways to upload photos to Facebook or any other social sites. If you happen to have Microsoft Windows XP or greater and do not have Windows Live Essential yet download it now!

The important part of Windows Live Essential in this case is the Photo Gallery once configured it will allow you to upload your photos to Facebook in a second without having to worry about resizing and installing Java on you machine and so on. And if you realy adventurous have a look at the beta, not covered here.

So now that you have the Windows live Photo Gallery installed, what now? Open it and let it index your Image folder, it may take a while so prepare a tea for yourself.

Now comes the harder part, close Windows live Photo Gallery. Head over to http://liveuploadfacebook.codeplex.com/ download it and install it.

Open Windows live Photo Gallery, go to Publish –> More Services –> LiveUpload to Facebook in the menu, follow the instructions and voila, you are ready.

Enjoy the uploading…
