Edit in Lightroom. Deliver from Pixelshield.
Pull originals from any event into your Lightroom Classic catalogue, develop them as usual, and publish the edits straight back to the client gallery. No downloading and re-uploading by hand.
Lightroom Classic
Everything lives in Lightroom’s own menus
The round trip
From gallery to catalogue and back
The whole round trip happens inside Lightroom Classic.
Step 1
Import
Pick an event and album, select photos and choose a folder. A “Not yet in Lightroom” filter and ✓ marks show what you already have.
Step 2
Develop
Edit in Lightroom Classic exactly as you do today. Your catalogue, your presets, your workflow.
Step 3
Publish
Click Publish on the event’s collection. Each edit uploads as a new photo in that album, linked to its original.
Step 4
Re-edit
Change a published photo and it queues for re-publish. Publishing again replaces the earlier edit, so there are no duplicates.
What it does
Works on photos you didn’t shoot yourself: a second shooter’s FTP uploads, or files delivered to an editor.
Imported photos go straight into a published collection bound to the event, so publishing needs no dragging.
Originals are never overwritten or replaced. Edits sit alongside them.
One publish service in the sidebar covers every event you’re working on.
An account screen shows your studio, API key and live connection checks.
Good to know
Export as JPEG or TIFF in sRGB. PSD isn’t accepted, so flatten layered files on export.
Only sRGB is offered, so AdobeRGB or ProPhoto edits don’t look washed out in the client gallery.
Photos sent through Edit In › Photoshop come back as a new “-Edit” photo. Use “Add Photoshop Edits to Pixelshield” to file them in the right collection.
Set up
Connected in three steps
No studio address to type in. Your API key tells the plugin which studio you are.
Get the plugin from Adobe Exchange, or download it from Settings › Integrations after signing in, and unzip it.
In Lightroom Classic, open File › Plug-in Manager › Add and select the pixelshield.lrplugin folder.
Run Import from Pixelshield. The first time, paste an API key created in Settings › Integrations (name it “Lightroom”).
FAQ
Questions photographers ask
No. It is built for Lightroom Classic and uses Classic’s Plug-in Manager and Publish Services.
Never. Each edit uploads as a new photo in the album, linked to the original it came from. Re-publishing replaces your previous edit, not the original.
Yes. Use Edit In › Photoshop as usual, then run “Add Photoshop Edits to Pixelshield” so the -Edit file joins the right published collection. If you work in Photoshop without a Lightroom catalogue, use the Photoshop plugin instead.
Every paid plan, from Professional up, includes both Lightroom Integration and Adobe Photoshop Integration, so you never pay for the plugins separately. The Free Trial doesn’t include them. See Pricing for the full comparison.
