You’ll need to do this once for each gallery. Now it’s time to tidy up the gallery cover photos. Make sure the switch is set to the On position for each Collection you want to display on your portfolio website. Go to Adobe Portfolio, click on the Manage content icon again and go to the Website Pages tab. Pick the ones you want to include in your portfolio and click the Import Selected button (see button below lower-right). The website opens a window that displays all your synchronized Lightroom Collections. Go to the Integrations tab and Click the Add Collections button. If you don’t tick it all they will be able to see are thumbnails.Ĭlick the Manage content icon (marked below). This is important as it lets people view the photos on your portfolio website. Tick the “Enable lightbox for images on my pages” box and click Done (see below). Go to Site Options and click the Lightbox for Images tab. Next, click the Edit your settings icon (marked below). Don’t worry about that at this stage – you can change the layout afterward if you want to. It may be difficult to visualize which one works best when populated with your photos. Decide which one you want to use and click the Use this layout button.
All the layouts are fully mobile responsive, which means they work and look professional on mobile phones and tablets as well as desktop computers. Start by clicking the Switch layouts icon (marked below).Īdobe Portfolio gives you eight layouts from which to choose. Otherwise, click the button that says Edit Your Portfolio. If you haven’t created a portfolio yet click the button that says Get Started Free. Each gallery corresponds to a Collection in Lightroom with the same name (seen below). My portfolio website (link above) has four galleries Black & White, Portraits, Spain, and Devon.
It also integrates with your Lightroom Collections (this is the update I just referenced). The benefit of using Adobe Portfolio is that it’s very easy (no web design or coding skills required).
The perfect solution doesn’t exist, perhaps the closest (until recently) is Koken, a free plugin that I wrote about some time ago that uses Lightroom’s Publish Collections to update your online portfolio.īut, the good news is that Adobe has just made creating a portfolio website a whole lot easier with its latest update to Adobe Portfolio.Īdobe Portfolio is exactly what it sounds like – an online gallery of photos. It usually comes from photographers who don’t like the design options in the LR Web module. One of the common questions I hear from photographers is regarding a way to link Lightroom to a photography portfolio website.
