Get your wet floor on in Lightroom

SlideShowPro developer Todd Dominey reports that he's issued a free update to this Flash gallery component for Lightroom.  Changes include:

  • New "Header" area to display a logo (with link), gallery title and gallery description
  • New "Wet Floor" effect (see example)
  • 4 template groups, each containing 8 variations for landscape/portrait, dimension and aspect ratio (32 options total).
  • New inputs to directly assign an audio file and caption
  • New Director formatting panel


Todd notes, "The templates are also a great way to get a "fitted" look really quickly, as it calculates all the dimensions for handling 3:2 / 4:3 imagery without gaps."  SlideShowPro for Lightroom is $25.

Note: It's also possible to use SlideShowPro together with Photoshop; see previous.

That wet floor feature is very sharp. I can't wait to give it a try on portrait style pictures.

This is an excellent addition to Lightroom. To be able to build web galleries of this quality (and so easily)without needing Flash is great. I've added Director into the mix and it makes an awesome combination.
