Thanks.

Re: Lightroom support for Multi-Size Images

The multi-size image support is a feature of JuiceboxBuilder-Pro only and is not available in any of the plugins.
The Juicebox plugin for Lightroom cannot export multiple image resolutions at once.

Hi,

thanks for the answer.

Because I only use the LR plugin (and parameters in the HTML page), I would like to suggest to implement the missing feature(s).

Re: Lightroom support for Multi-Size Images

Actually this is still possible with the current lightroom plugin

While it would be nice to keep everything in lightroom, you can still do the initial export from lightroom and then open the gallery file in juicebox builder pro

just make sure that when you are exporting your images in lightroom, don't use a watermark and make the max width 2000px and height 1350px

when you open the gallery folder in juicebox builder pro you can add your watermark then as well as select images size and check the boxes large and small

juicebox bullder will then render the files and create the appropriate folders

Re: Lightroom support for Multi-Size Images

Hi Shark,

hmmm, I would not prefer this procedure. ALL images with ALL sizes should be derived from the original image in LR.

If you export images in LR to e.g. 2000px width (and also sharpen the images) and later on  shrink the images from 2000px to e.g. 600px (and again sharpen them) then this procedure degrades image quality.

From my point of view all stuff should be handled in LR (or Aperture etc). This would be user friendly and ensures max image quality.

Re: Lightroom support for Multi-Size Images

fully agree.  if i could stay in lightroom throughout the whole roundtrip that be fantastic but for a $45 app, it's still alot easier than manyother options.

i do a good amount of configuring outside of what the lightroom plugin is capable because of the way my site is configured. 
so i still need to then edit with juicebox builder pro.  it has become pretty streamlined though since i set my settings as a preset.  so it doesn't take too much longer.

however i don't sharpen the images in lightroom.  If you're exporting at 2000px in lightroom, any downsizing is not going to degrade the image.  but hey, we're talking compressed jpegs here.  in the end i think speed of loading when it comes to online viewing is a #1 priority.  these files

i haven't converted my whole site to the 1.4v yet, but here is a test gallery i'm working on, and it seems pretty sharp to me
