How to get Smart Photo to work as a plugin

[aist Profile]

For Lightroom and Photoshop. It's a pain to go thru a batch of pictures 2 different times..is there a way to set it up so it brings in and returns as a Plugin?

Hi Aist,

Maybe this is of any help.

Edit: I think you need the Studio version of SPE aswell..

I figured it out and upgraded to the studio Version, it's working as a plugin from Lightroom, but I've yet to figure out how to return from plugin from lightroom...not just save as..Can you help with this?

Then while continuing to work on a photo I had imported it, it crashed..

Hi aist,

Try going to File>Settings and check that auto-plugin mode is checked. After that, when you launch it from lightroom, you should see a Save And Close option in your file menu when launched from Lightroom, which returns you to Lightroom.

OK I'll give it a shot..all of the other programs I use as plug-ins have an obvious "Return from Plugin" button on the main screen, I wasn't sure how on your program

Still can't find the command that instructs the program to return the image back to lightroom, really need help with this. Not very usable without

Please help..

I'll even send you a screen shot if I need to, please let me know

I'm not sure if you have Windows or a Mac, but on Windows this is how the menu looks when "Auto Plugin Mode" has been selected, and a picture has been loaded in. The very first option "save and close" will return the picture back to Lightroom.
