A few useful answers.
Something else on your mind? Email support.
Will it work with my Lightroom?
You need Lightroom Classic on a Mac. It does not work with the cloud-based Lightroom app, Lightroom on iPad, or Windows. The published compatibility baseline is macOS Sequoia and Lightroom Classic 14. If you use another version, email us before buying.
What export options can I choose?
Set image size, quality and other Lightroom export options. Video publishing is supported too. You can add catalogue and album keywords, or leave them off. Enable the option to skip unchanged rendered files when publishing again. See the setup guide.
Is this automatic, two-way sync?
No. You choose photos in a Lightroom Classic published collection and click Publish. Changes made in Apple Photos do not come back to Lightroom.
What happens when I edit a published photo?
Publish again to send your updated edit. The optional Out of date album gathers the previous copy for review; it stays in Photos until you remove it. Unchanged rendered files can be skipped when that option is enabled.
Will my photos appear on my iPhone?
Yes, when you publish into your Mac’s System Photo Library with iCloud Photos enabled, and use iCloud Photos on your iPhone with the same Apple Account. Apple handles the upload; timing depends on your connection, storage and sync status.
Are my Lightroom originals changed?
The plugin exports your edits to Apple Photos. Your Lightroom originals stay in their existing location. Keep normal backups of your catalogue and photo libraries.
