Lightroom Killer Tips
First, let’s create a droplet. You’ll first need an action that you would want to run as part of your export process. For example, while it is easy enough to send a copy to Photoshop for editing from LrC just by pressing CMD/Ctrl+E, if you use the export dialog and run the photo through the droplet you can do even more. I have an action that I use when...
