Using the Photoshelter lightroom publish service

After configuration using the publisher is simple. Simply drag the images to be published to the desired published collection and publish the collection. If you change any of the develop settings or modify the IPTC data of an published image, lightroom will automatically trigger the image for re-publish to update the photo on Photoshelter.

Additional publisher options are locate in the context menu of the publisher (right click in the publisher)

Create published collection

Creating a published collection creates a collection in Lightroom and a corresponding archive folder on Photoshelter. A published collection can only contain images, it can not contain other published collections (so no sub folders)

Create published smart collection

Same as creating a published collection but now with the smart options lightroom provides.

Create published collection set

Use this to create a place holder for collections. A collection set can not contain images, but only published collections. So if you have an archive folder structure that looks like

2010

march

shoot1

shoot2

may

shoot1

shoot2

The folders 2010, march and may should be published collection sets, whereas shoot1 and shoot2 should be collections. No photos can be placed in the collection sets!

Rename

Allows you to rename a published collection or a published collection set.

Publish now

Perform the actual publish (ie update) action on the collection and send all changes to Photoshelter.

Mark to Republish

Manually mark the entire published collection for re-publish. If you follow this up with publish now, the entire collection will be updated on Photoshelter.
