Hi Everyone,

The next time you visit the upload page in the Adobe Stock Contributor Portal you will see a new feature. You can now select and upload collections of images you have created withing Lightroom while you are in the Adobe Stock Contributor Portal. It is a seamless workflow and should save you Lightroom users some time and help keep you organized.

To clarify, you can upload individual images through the Publish panel in Lightroom Classic and you can now upload Lightroom collections through the contributor portal. Let me know what you think and if you have any questions.

Mat, as a longtime LR user, I really like this idea and look forward to trying it out with my next batch of uploads.

But I'm wondering… for each image in a given collection, will we still have to manually rearrange the alphabetical order that LR applies to all keywords? It would be sooo sweet if this new step toward automation could go hand in hand with a similar automatic acceptance of the keyword order that LR imposes.

If not, what are the odds that feature might be incorporated as the next step forward toward full automation?

Nice feature, but as long as Lightroom puts all my keywords back into alphabetical order, there's no way I'll be using LR AFTER keywording ...

Agreed, that's why I only ever use Bridge for keywording.

Hey All,

Two things...

Yes, you still need to submit your content for review with keywords in order of relevance. It's very important you do this. Yes, I'm aware that Lightroom and Lightroom Classic alphabetize keywords which is not ideal for stock. I bring it up every opportunity I have but don't anticipate any imminent changes so adjust your workflow accordingly please.

Also, epic fail on my part...I forgot that this feature is limited only to Emerald ranked contributors and above (25,000 lifetime downloads) for a short period of time while we make sure the feature is working properly. It shouldn't be too long before it's opened up more broadly.

Thank you,

Mat Hayward

Is there a spell checker in the keywords section?

Sadly, no. It's on the wish list for sure.
