Lightroom 5: Sharing Photos Online

Adobe Lightroom 5 adds a variety of photo-sharing features, including the ability to email photos as well as publish them on sites such as Facebook and Flickr. Learn how to start sharing your images with friends, in this course with author and photographer Jan Kabili.

Next, she details ways to use Lightroom's Publish Services panel to share photos on Facebook, Flickr, Behance, and Google+. Then learn how to share photos via email, either within Lightroom itself or by having Lightroom hand photos off to a desktop email client, such as Apple Mail or Microsoft Outlook.
