well, i think im sold on LR. ive looked at the alternatives, and it seems to be the best combo of features i need (except for the lack of rich in-program web sharpening. the photoshop droplet hack works for now). only one piece is missing, and i have a complete workflow.
i dont use a commercial photo sharing site, i use my own…i like it (http://www.semi-suave.com), and i like my search capabilities — i have 5k images, each w/ unique tags & captions, all of which can be searched very quickly via to an in-memory XML catalog sitting on the web server. its a roll-yer-own solution, and theyre fading out.. but it works well. the only thing left to make the workflow from LR to web seamless is updating my XML catalog.
to this end, im interested in writing a LR export action/plugin that, for a given selection, outputs the file, camera, keywords & caption data to an XML file (alongside the web JPGs). from there my automated processes can copy the .JPGs to the website, pick up the .XML and integrate it into the master XML catalog.
sounds like fun. anybody know a good place to start?
thanks,
sm
