Upload a web photo gallery

You can specify the FTP server information in the Upload Settings panel and use the FTP capabilities in Lightroom to
upload your gallery to a web server. After you click the Upload button, Lightroom automatically generates the necessary
files and then transfers them to the web server you specify.

To use a separate FTP application for uploading your files, or to generate a gallery for offline viewing, you can first
export the files. When you click the Export button, Lightroom creates a folder containing HTML files, image files, and
other web-related files. If you’re saving a Flash gallery, the necessary SWF files are included. The folder is saved in a
location that you specify.

Note: Web gallery photos and image thumbnails are saved as JPEGs with embedded sRGB profiles.

1

In the Upload Settings panel, choose a web server preset from the FTP Server pop-up menu.

2

Select Put In Subfolder and type the name of the folder (web output folder) that will contain your web photo gallery.

The Upload Settings panel displays the server output path (server path with subfolder containing the web gallery
files).

3

Click the Upload button.

4

In the Enter Password dialog box, type the password to access the web server and click Upload.

Create and manage FTP presets

You can set up one or more FTP presets for uploading web photo galleries to specific web servers.
