Publish / On Adobe Exchange
Expolumi Dreamstime Publisher
Move your photos to Dreamstime without leaving Lightroom Classic, then finish the submission in your contributor account.
Version 1.0 is on Adobe Exchange and installs with the Creative Cloud desktop app.
What it does
Without switching to an FTP client.
A dedicated Publish Service for your Dreamstime account.
A Publish Service for Dreamstime
Drag photos into Dreamstime uploads and click Publish. They arrive in your Dreamstime account, and Lightroom lists them under Published Photos.
Separate credentials and history
Sign in with your numeric Dreamstime account ID. Credentials and upload history are kept apart from the other Expolumi publishers.
You finish the submission
Published means transferred. Complete categories and releases in Dreamstime's Unfinished Files, then submit for review.
Coming in version 1.1
Publish any photo: Lightroom renders a full-size JPEG with your edits and metadata from raw, TIFF, PSD, or JPEG originals. Read the 1.1 guide.
Where it fits
The publishing step.
With Publishing Workflow, Dreamstime Candidates are queued for you and marked Submitted after publishing.
- 01 / Plan
Decide where it goes
Mark photos for stock or exclusive art and pick a license type for each agency. They become Candidates.
- 02 / Describe
Describe it well
Draft titles, captions, and keywords with AI, then review every suggestion. The license type picks commercial or editorial wording.
- 03 / Publish
Send it to agencies
Candidates wait in each agency's publish service, including Lightroom's own Adobe Stock service. You decide when to click Publish.
- 04 / Track
Know where it stands
Published photos are marked Submitted. Record Accepted or Rejected once the agency has reviewed them.
And for your own albums: photos you mark Album can go into personal OneDrive albums.
Pluggable by design. Dreamstime Publisher works on its own, and so does every other Expolumi plug-in. Use one, some, or all.
