Simplicity for Lightroom

Simplicity is a web gallery plug-in for Adobe Lightroom. It allows you to quickly create a simple portfolio website from a collection of images.

See https://simplicity-lightroom-demo.netlify.com/ for a demo.

Note this was developed for version 5 of Lightroom, and as such may not be compatible with later versions.

Please drop me an email if you have any comments or feedback.

Features

• Thumbnail view, with pop-up full view showing the image title
• Social links
• Allows filtering the view by tag
• Lazy loading of images when they scroll into view

Installation

1. Download the plug-in.
2. Extract the files from the zip
3. Copy the simplicity-gallery-v1.lrwebengine folder to your the Lightroom folder within your user profile. For example: C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Web Galleries\

Usage

1. Run Lightroom, then create a collection containing the photos you'd like to include in the portfolio
2. Go to the Web module, select Simplicity Gallery from the menu in the top right corner
3. Configure the site as required
4. Click export, and provide a name for the directory where the site will be created

Notes

• The preview doesn't work properly as Lightroom seems to have a rather out of date browser. Don't worry, the end result will look fine.
• For a title to be shown in the full view, it must be set in the metadata for the image. This can be done in the Library module.
