Screensaver that uses Lightroom database

Mar 4, 2008 1:01 AM

Hi,

I would like to request a screen saver be developed that uses the Lightroom database to display the photos. It would take into account adjustments made to the photos, rotate accordingly and would read them directly from the source files (Canon RAW, JPEG and TIFF etc).

Included in this would be the ability to filter be collection, rating or perhaps introduce a new 'screensaver' flag against an image.

Another related export option within Lightroom might be to export a windows screen saver (scr file I think) from the Slide show screen. Although this option would give a professional photographer another option in product format to sell, I personally would like the before-mentioned (probably external) program developed over this feature.

Thanks,
Jason

    Even more flexible would be to have an API to ask the LR engine for a rendered image based on certain query criteria. By having such a function, an external application could easily display or use the rendered images to create a screen saver, windows background, DLNA-client, etc.

    As far as I know the Lightroom SDK contains an API but it doesn't allow this level of access. Either way, I believe a screensaver based on the contents of a LR catalog would be a great idea.

    Hi guys,


    I'm happy to announce LrSaver (http://www.lrsaver.com/) - The Lightroom Screensaver Addon!


    LrSaver provides many features, such as:

    • Selection of images according to any meta-data fields by utilizing Smart Collections (or by using rating).
    • Utilization of Lightroom image cache which enables:
      • Low CPU & RAM utilization
      • Accurate display exactly as by Lightroom itself.
      • No need for the actual images to be accessible during slideshow (e.g. if stored on external/remote storage).
    • Arrow keys to move between images during slideshow

     

    Check http://www.lrsaver.com/ for more information.



    Cheers,

    Nir
