In-Depth Information
If you're using Lightroom's Web gallery for online client proofing, you're probably
going to want your client to be able to email you right from the page, or you might
want to have a link to your main homepage, or your studio's website, etc. Here
you'll learn how to do both (it's easier than you'd think).
or Website Link
Step One:
Although we've been editing our text right
on the webpage itself, adding an email link
to your page is one thing you have to go
to the right side Panels area to do. So, go
to the Site Info panel (shown here), and
you'll see that the top section of this panel
shows you all the text fields for the custom
text you can add directly on the page itself
(so technically, you could add the text here
instead, but it's just easier to do it on the
page). However, there is an extra feature
here: Lightroom remembers the info you
last added in each of these fields, and
adds them to a pop-up menu, so you
can quickly choose that same info again
in the future (click on one of the little
triangles at the top right of each text field
to access that menu).
Step Two:
Right below Web or Mail Link, by default,
it reads “mailto:user@domain.” To add
your email link, you just have to change
the “user@domain” to your email address
(in my case, it would read, “mailto:skelby
@photoshopuser.com,” as shown here,
with no spaces in between anything), then
press the Return (PC: Enter) key to lock in
your change.
Note:
If, instead of an email
link, you want to add a link to a webpage,
just type the full URL in this field (like
