Is there an add-on app to convert "Lightroom Classic" photos into sketches?

cliffh73876430  wrote I'm wondering if there are conversion apps that can can be integrated into Lightroom classic. I suspect it would be a simpler, faster route.

It depends on whether you're talking about integrating conversion apps on the iPad, or on the Mac. Both are possible.

If you're already using Lightroom Classic and an iPad, a great shortcut is to use a collection shared to Lightroom CC (mobile).

1. In Lightroom on your Mac, create a collection. You can name it something like "To iPad for sketches".
2. Enable Lightroom CC syncing for that collection.
3. When you have a photo you want to convert into a sketch, add it to the collection. Because the collection syncs, the image will be synced to Lightroom CC (cloud storage).
4. Switch to your iPad and open the Lightroom CC app. In there, you should see the image that synced up from Lightroom on your Mac.
5. Go to the image and tap the standard iOS "share" icon at the top of the screen.
6. Tap Share and choose a size.
7. In the standard iOS share sheet, tap the other iOS app you want to use for the sketch conversion. The image should open in it.

In the share sheet, instead of tapping Share, you can also try tapping Open In or Edit In, because they present different lists of iPad apps. Use whichever list has the app you want to send the image to.

After you've done it a few times, you'll realize that all you are really doing is adding an image to a Lightroom collection on the Mac, picking it up in Lightroom on the iPad, and sharing it straight to another iPad app. That's it. No emailing needed. No having to go through the Photos app. You can cut out all those steps.

If you have other photo applications on your Mac that you'd like to integrate, choose Lightroom > Preferences, and in the Additional External Editor section, create a new External Editor preset for any other Mac image application you have. After you do that, you can select a photo in Lightroom, choose Photo > Edit In, and whatever application you added will be on that submenu for you to choose. When you choose it, the Lightroom photo will be sent directly to that other Mac application.
