craig cheatham Jul 1, 2012 10:02 PM (in response to John Blaustein)Thanks John,
This looks promising and I'll look into this, but I'm hoping there is a solution built into Lightroom, something I don't have to pay extra for..

craig cheatham Jul 2, 2012 6:05 PM (in response to craig cheatham)So, after 19 hours and no other replies, I guess I will conclude that Lightroom cannot create a "lightbox" of images for client review. I'm disappointed that I have to buy a 3rd party plug-in to make this happen. It seems like a no-brainer for a Photography Professional's toolbox like Lightroom.

Victoria_Bampton Jul 3, 2012 1:58 AM (in response to craig cheatham)Yes, that's right, sorry Craig. The number of photographers needing that functionality is a comparitively small percentage of the userbase. While it would be lovely to have all the features everyone could possibly use, there aren't enough hours in the day and some people would call it bloat. You could put in a feature request at Official Feature Request/Bug Report Forum but Matt's plug-in is the best option at this point in time.

craig cheatham Jul 3, 2012 12:34 PM (in response to Victoria_Bampton)Victoria,
I would argue that a relatively high percentage of professional photographers would like to have this feature to be able to get feedback from clients. I don't agree that it would be generally considered bloat. Among commercial photographers, photo-journalists, and probably wedding photographers I would argue that the ability to create a web gallery that facilitates feedback from a client, or an editor's desk, has a greater level of value than does having 20 different gallery layouts with various transitions between slides, and cozy color palettes. I do see the value of that variety, but I'd like to see a little more utility also.
Even Photoshop, up to version CS3, had the ability to make a gallery with feedback option. Each image in the gallery had a text box that essentially acted like a Submit button. All comments a viewer made were compiled in an email and the comments were tagged with the image number/name. The gallery was cramped and ugly, but the feature was very useful.
While the TTG Client Response Gallery plug-in looks like it fits the bill, it also requires more of a learning curve than I would like. It also requires making sure my ISP has the correct version of PHP and the correct type of Apache server – certainly more than a basic HTML solution.
