Comments on: Lightroom 2 Quick Tip: Put Your Favorite Photos on Your iPhone http://blog.ericscouten.com/2009/01/lightroom-2-quick-tip-put-your-favorite-photos-on-your-iphone/ The photography, travel, and technology blog of Eric Scouten Wed, 18 Aug 2010 00:52:03 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: fortytwenty http://blog.ericscouten.com/2009/01/lightroom-2-quick-tip-put-your-favorite-photos-on-your-iphone/#comment-5560 fortytwenty Mon, 21 Dec 2009 21:44:45 +0000 http://blog.ericscouten.com/?p=213#comment-5560 Nice article. I recently switched to Lr2 from Aperture as i've just downsized to FourThirds Panasonic GF1 and was getting annoyed at having to pre-convert the RAWs before I could even import them to the Aperture library. (It doesn't even recognise the Adobe DNG conversions!) Previously I had been storing photos in Aperture, but once "developed" I was then converting them to JPG, exporting to desktop, importing to iPhoto, and then syncing to iPhone. A w k w a r d. The new extra RAW conversion issue sent me over the edge (and back to Lr). I think because I was now looking at the whole "workflow" anew I felt that there must be an easier way; hence my google search leading me here. The whole management of two separate libraries in two separate apps was becoming ridiculously confusing. Confusion over. I've used your export template and am saving the iPhone exports within the Lr2 library and am fully controlling the subfolders from within Lr. Syncing to that master iPhone folder from iTunes is a breeze. Why I hadn't thought of doing it that way previously I don't know! I've totally abandoned iPhoto now as I was simply using it for iPhone image storage and for exporting to Flickr/Facebook. No need, Lr2 can do it all. My photo life simplified massively in one fell swoop and it all started with your post. Many thanks. Nice article.

I don't put any photos on my iPhone. Instead, I put my "exports" on flickr, and then use the application formerly known as Exposure (now DarkSlide) to view them. My only complaint is that I need network access to look at photos, but I don't have to think about keeping my phone synced. Interesting. I don’t put any photos on my iPhone.

I've changed the template to have Lightroom resize to 480 pixels instead of 500. Dorin, thanks for the update. I’ve changed the template to have Lightroom resize to 480 pixels instead of 500.
