So, the first task is getting photos out of Lightroom or Lightroom Classic, which is fairly straightforward. Part of the reason is external Facebook used to allow apps to upload directly to its service, but ended that option last year, forcing developers to yank the sharing features they’d included. Ideally, we’d be able to share photos directly to services from within either Lightroom or Lightroom Classic, but those options don’t exist. Right away, we’re presented with a couple of challenges. If you use Lightroom, let’s look at how make the process easier to share your creations with the world. Sharing photos from Adobe Lightroom or Lightroom Classic to services like Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter still involves several steps, especially on the desktop versions of the software. Surprisingly, our software hasn’t entirely gotten the message. The modern, realist part of me tells that other fuddy-duddy to shut up, because to be a photographer or designer in this day and age means having some sort of online presence. Uploading can take a few minutes, depending on how many photos you are uploading.The old-fashioned part of me wants to say that social media is a distraction, and that chasing likes and followers is folly that shouldn’t be undertaken by serious photographers.
