Working with an established Lightroom Catalog

If you have an established Lightroom Classic workflow, you can easily include Mylio Photos in your workflow for advanced organization and remote access from all your devices.

Folders of images on your computer and external drives imported into Lightroom can also be watched by Mylio Photos. At this time, Mylio Photos will not automatically display edits made in Lightroom but will synchronize metadata written to XMP files.

If you want Mylio Photos to display Lightroom edits, you can use the Mylio Photos plugin for Lightroom Classic under Lightroom’s Publish Services to export a JPG Display Copy.

To display Lightroom edits in Mylio Photos

1. Open an image in Lightroom that is in a folder also watched by Mylio Photos.
2. Using Lightroom’s Develop module, edit your photo as desired.

3. When you’re finished editing, return to the Library module, open the Publish Services in the left panel, and drag your edited photo to the Mylio Photostream.

4. Click on the Photostream and your edited photo will appear in the New Photos to Publish section. Click the Publish button in the upper-right corner to send your edited JPG Display Copy to Mylio Photos.

The edited JPG Display Copy will be automatically stacked with the Original in Mylio Photos and displayed in the Mylio Catalog.

!NOTE: The image sent to Mylio Photos via the Lightroom Classic to Mylio Photos Publish Service is a full resolution JPG Display Copy. If you need to refine your Lightroom edits or wish to work with another file format in another application, such as a TIFF, open Lightroom, locate the photo in your Lightroom Library, and export directly from Lightroom.

!NOTE: Any changes made in Lightroom after publishing to Mylio Photos will need to be republished using the Mylio Publish Service in the Lightroom Library to be viewed in Mylio Photos.
