Share only "picked" photos

Is there a way to share only the picked photos in an album?

Lightroom CC makes it super-easy to share an album, but I seldom want people to see all the images - only the ones I've picked and therefore edited.

      Jao's advice is incorrect. You can share only the picked (or unflagged or rejected) photos without creating a new album, but you have to set that option in Lightroom Web, not in LRCC.

      Hi, is there any chance that this option has been deactivated now? I no longer see it (though I've definitely used it before).

       

      Here's how my share modal looks now:

      1. In the Lightroom CC Mac app:

       

       

      In the LR web app (the second screenshot is of the display menu):

      Yes! I have been looking for this feature for the past 15 minutes and it seems to be gone. I definitely have used it before. I even remember being positively surprised when it first appeared, precisely because it used to be a pain before to create new albums with your picks for sharing every time. Dont know why Adobe would kill such a useful feature!

        Found it: One of my albums that previously had a filter activated for sharing now shows this message in lightroom web:

         

         

        Here's the explanation: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-cc/kb/display-filters-removed.html

        Sometimes its one step forward and two steps back with Adobe...

          Have there been any updates to this topic with the recent releases?  Or is the answer still to manually create a new album with only the picked pics and import it into Portfolio?  If so, I hope the developers are planning to add this very important feature.  To be able to share the albums and then have them sync and maintain their sync'd status between LRCC and Portfolio in a fashion similar to how LR Classic and LRCC do, would be transformational.

            You are right! I have not seen this option there before. They must have recently added it.

            No, it's been available for quite a long time, but Adobe have recently changed the layout to make it more discoverable

            No,

            what you have to do is to turn on the filter, only show picked flag images and then create a new album from those images and share that. Note that Lightroom CC contrary to Lightroom Classic does not have smart albums that automatically update so if you later pick another image you have to move it manually into the shared picks album.

            Thank you. I was hoping this wasn't going to be the answer, but good to know there isn't a simple way to do this.
