Frame.io adds Adobe Lightroom integration

Frame.io’s new integration with Adobe Lightroom should further speed up Camera-to-Cloud workflows.

Frame.io started moving into photography workflows in 2022 following an initial partnership with Fujifillm to put Camera to Cloud integrations into the manufacturer’s X-H2 and X-H2s cameras. Since then that has expanded to cover 11 different native integrations, including Panasonic LUMIX, and now a new beta release of the Frame.io v4 beta adds integration with Adobe Lightroom.

This was all announced in a new Frame.io blog post. ’“By introducing a direct connection with Lightroom through Frame.io, photographers can now instantly access their images, edit them, and deliver them,” it says. “There are no tethers required and no need to remove and download camera cards.”

Once a Camera to Cloud-enabled camera is connected to Frame.io, all that’s required is for the photographer or editor to click “Connect to Lightroom” within their Frame.io project, where they’ll be prompted to log in with their Adobe ID. Following that, photographers can choose to either automatically send all files uploaded via C2C into their Lightroom account or make selects in Frame.io and send their selected shots into Lightroom for editing. 

It’s a speedy workflow, that being the whole point. Editors can access the images no matter where they’re located, in real time, and once the images have been retouched or edited they can upload them back into Frame.io for delivery or distribution.

And, of course, for backup too. By lobbing all your pictures into the cloud you don’t have to worry about making copies while out on a shoot unless you have the absolute time to do so.

The new Frame.io to Lightroom connection requires a C2C-enabled camera from Fujifilm or Panasonic LUMIX, as well as a Frame.io Version 4 beta account.
