Facebook

Facebook have now withdrawn the ability to upload images from Publish Services in Lr Classic and other desktop applications. Upload is still possible from mobile devices where the handshake between approved apps and the Facebook server is readily available. To enable customers to keep track of previously published work, Adobe re-enabled access to Facebook Published Service Collections for a temporary time period. This will permit the manual transfer to standard collections. Publishing capabilities will remain disabled. Please go to this link:


Automatic Transfer to Regular Collections

My ACP colleague John Beardsworth has designed a script to automate the process. I’ve not tried it personally as I’m not a Facebook user but others have found it to be simple and effective.
