- For
- Lightroom Classic wedding and portrait photographers
- Worth noticing
- It reads Lightroom flags, ratings, labels and folders, and can put a test batch back with one click if the first pass misses.
Field notes
The workflow leaves Lightroom Classic open and uses a small plugin to read the current catalog. Users filter by flags, ratings, color labels or folder, choose an installed preset or one of ten included looks, then review a sample batch before sending the rest. The page says edits arrive as ordinary Lightroom settings, with a snapshot for rollback; edited images are tagged and photos needing attention are collected separately.
