Are you still trying to get a grasp of the new Photoshelter? Here are 5 tips to help you out.

Create more view space in the back end

The image browser screen has 3 panes. There is a seperator between them. Click on the seperator to colapse the side pane. Click on the seperator again to show it. 

Set cover image of a gallery

Select a gallery you want to change. Drag the image you want to use as a cover image to the "description section" in the right hand pane

Change the visibility of a gallery or folder

Select the gallery or folder. In the top of the right pane, there is "who can see me?" and "who can download me?" You can select "Everyone", "Those with permissions" and "No one but me". You can also grant download permission here.

Find out how many 'copies' of a gallery are there

Check the "located in" section at the bottom of the right pane.

Change the image order in a gallery

Select a gallery and use the "order selector", is located next to the "actions" at the top of the middle pane. You can now select the order based on "File Name". "Date Uploaded", "Date  Added to Gallery", "Date Taken" and "Custom". The up/down arrows next to it allow you to reverse the order.

Are you ready for the new Photoshelter?

Are you excited for the new Photoshelter upgrades too? I am impressed by the changes, image and management folder management is so much easier. So much less clicking around.

But to be completely ready, you need to upgrade your lightroom export plugin as well. The old version is no longer compatible with Photoshelter. Version 4.0 of the publish service supports all the new features of Photoshelter.

The plugin was updated in close cooperation with the developers at Photoshelter to provide you the best possible integration of the new folders and galleries structure.

Finally found the time to play around with Lightroom 3. I still need to try out all the new features, but I like my first quick result.

In less than 10 minutes I created this art impression of a Dutch landscape. The new grain option adds a moody effect to the image.

What do you think? What is your favourite new option in lightroom?

Are you working on multiple computers, at work, at home, or your laptop? Ever get tired of copying files to share to an USB drive or emailing them to you? I just found the perfect solution, Dropbox.
