Searching photos by name to import to light room

Hi Robyn!

I love to use Pixieset, and too had troubles at first. So this is what you should do:

To update the Pixieset's Publishing service from Lightroom, right click on the Publish service and click Edit Settings. Make sure that the login information is correct and you're logged in. Click Sync Now if you want to sync the structure (collections and sets). Notice that this will NOT import any pictures, just resync the structure so Lightroom and Pixieset can talk to each other correctly.

If you want to double check your process to show client's favorites in Lightroom, here are the step by step instructions:

1. Inside the Pixieset website, go to your collection and click on the notification bell on your top-right.
2. Click on your client's created list, and you will open the Favorites page.
3. Under the actions column, click the three dots and go down to the Lightroom Copy List.
4. A window with the names of all the favorited files will pop up, then click the button that reads COPY.
5. Now, lets move to Lightroom. Go to Library > Find from the menu or simply click Command F, and a search field will open.
6. Paste your copy name files there. Also, check that the terms for the search are the following:
7. Select the files within the Lightroom Grid and you can do to things: give them either a number Rating or a specific color, and create a smart collection based on that, or select the filtered pictures from the Grid and create a new collection filled with those selected pictures.

For the future, and now that you've installed Pixieset into Lightroom, you upload your pictures directly from Lightroom to Pixieset, making it easier to find the favorite pictures!

I have Pixie set and My client made a favorites list.  Pixieset says i can import the flavorites list into light room by pasting the file names in the search bar in the find section but they are not showing up.  Also i just installed the Pixieset plug in and non of my online collections are showing up in light room

The title indicates you want to search for photos you have NOT imported yet.  The Lightroom Library/Find command will only search for photos that are ALREADY imported into Lightroom.

Do you want to search for photos that you want to then import into LR?  Or do you want to search in LR's catalog for photos you've already imported?
