Users of RedCart, the shopping cart service for photographers, will no doubt be very happy to hear that Timothy Armes has released a Lightroom plugin that’s designed to greatly simplify the process of uploading images to a RedCart system.
LR/RedCart will export images from Lightroom at the correct size, create the thumbnails, and upload everything to the right place. Lightroom 3 users can use the Publish Services to allow them to manage collections and galleries with ease from within the Library module.
