LR/Mogrify is a great new Export plugin from Timothy Armes. It’s currently at version 2.43, but could easily have been updated by the time you read this. Tim is very busy with this plugin, adding features and fixing the odd bug, on an ongoing basis. This plugin adds a significant amount of features that have been requested for Lightroom including:

With Borders you can add text before or after creation, meaning you can add text to the border. LR/Mogrify makes use of the Open Source Image Magick photo tool. While it takes a small amount of setting up, the results from the program are more than worth the meagre effort. Between the Image Magick page and the LR/Mogrify page, you shouldn’t have too much trouble. The great thing is that because this is a Lightroom Plugin, you can save your settings as Preset, making for excellent automation.

Due to the amount of work involved in the creation of the Plugin, Tim has designated this as donationware. The free version allows up to 10 images to be exported at once, with no limit on the amount of times per session.

As well as bringing us video tutorials, Matthew Campagna has been busy updating his TTG Selection Gallery. This wonderful gallery allows clients to make photo selects inside the gallery and have these emailed to the photographer. Using cut and paste the photographer can use the Find Pane to make a collection of these Selects quickly. I’ve used the original version quite a bit and have recommended it on to others also. This new version builds on the newest TTG Slimbox Gallery and has feature parity with it. The other big change is that the Selection Gallery is now Lua based. While this means nothing to the average user, it means that it is fully compatible with the current galllery creation standards in Lightroom 1.3.1.
