Send images to Social Media

This isn't for all since I use the Adobe Ecosystem.

One way for Lightroom Classic users. A way, actually my way.

1. Set-up Lightroom Classic to sync. This only enabled syncing.

2. Create a collection you would like to sync with the Adobe Cloud. Perhaps name your collection "Social Media Sync".

3. Enable sync for this collection.

4. Add images to the collection.

 *** Note: using Sync smart views are sent to the cloud and they don't count against your plan.

I chose to use Lightroom Mobile so this is my chosen workflow 

Select photos you want to send to social media.

I picked the waves.

Click on the share icon

now you can scroll through the available apps on your phone. 

I'll choose Instagram.

I click feed and now I'm in Instagram and make those options you desire. For example.

That's my way. Other choices are exercises for the students.

Additionally most allow you to take a RAW file, usually a DNG file. Both are "digital negatives" because they need to be processed, basically "Developed".

i can tell how to reach the settings on my phone but your phone is likely different.

 Those that have an Adobe subscription already know it's not free. For those that are not subscribers you can use iPad App Store to download the application. Once you bypass the subscription page you are on.

The Free version have several features that are not available and are noted a blue *. The main thing is the the masking features. Following are a few screenshots with comments. I have not viewed all icons and can't discuss them.

Note that the masking options have the blue *, you need to subscribe to get them. Click on the i on the lower right and you see the next image.

Here you can add Title, Caption, Copyright, stars and flags to your image.

In the above image I added the Histogram to the display. 

You need to take some time to see what the other icon's do.
