P: Adding a "Add Back to Catalog" Button on the Print Menu (like the one in Export)

Community Beginner ,
Apr 21, 2023 Apr 21, 2023

Most of the time for files that I'm doing to use digitally, I currently "print" my images to my desktop using the "Print" menu in the top right hand corner rather than "Export" them. 


This is because I really like a 3pt black rule around the image and then a white border. They are "printed to file" as 100% 300dpi JPGs. Having spoken to friends and colleagues, I'm not the only one.

 

Then I reimport these printed images back into Lightroom (with their rule and border) and I can use them on my website, instagram etc. www.miketaylor.photography

 

It would be great if there was a simple box to tick that would "Add Back To Catalog" when I'm about to hit the "Print To file" button in the bottom right. Just like when you export files. 

 

Thanks

Mike

While your waiting for Adobe to implement your request; have you looked at 'Auto Import'. This feature can be found under the File menu? Lots of folk use it for tasks similar to what you describe.

Hi!

 

I would love to have a checkbox in the print module for adding collage back to the catalog, like there is in the normal export module. Im making portrait pair images and have to print them as a jpg file and then bring them back to the catalog manually. I want them collected to my folder structure within Lightroom and it would be very smooth if this checkbox was available in the print module.
