Tweet From a Lightroom Export

by Aaron on October 7, 2009

If you share photos online at Flickr, SmugMug, or Facebook and you’re using Adobe Lightroom for your post-processing and image management, there’s a good chance that you’re using Jeffrey Friedl’s export plugins to get your photos from your computer to the online services.

One of the features that many folks seem to overlook is the ability to send a tweet announcing your new uploads. The Twitter section is in the lower part of the export options panel:

Tweet a Lightroom Export

If it’s your first time, you’ll need to click the “Authenticate at Twitter” button to sign into Twitter. Once authenticated, you can choose what message to send once your export is complete. Click the “Help on special codes” link to find out more about how to automatically insert the URL to your destination photo, photoset, or your base URL on the service.

Other than tweeting links, how do you drive traffic to your photo sharing sites?
