Zigzagmtart Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Using it on pc not mac. Best advice read the manual thoroughly especially part about keywords. At work now can answer any questions tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Edwards Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I am just on my way out so this is only a quick answer... i should have been "delivered" as a ZIP file. The zip contains a .lrplugin file and a number of smart collections. Put the plugin file in a suitable location. If you look at the plug in manager in LR you will be able to see where others are added and put this in maybe the same place. Then in the Plugin manager, use the "add" button to load it into LR. For the smart collections, in LR go to preferences , then presets. Clock "show the Lightroom Presets Folder". In this Lightroom settings folder you should see a "Smart Collections Template". Put all of the smart collection files in there. Restart Lightroom. Any problems, ill be back later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dov makabaw Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 Thanks Julie Have completed 4th paragraph and get message licence number not accepted. Should this be the be the LR5 or Plug in number? Have tried both but same message! Any thoughts? dov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Edwards Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I think the license number is the paypal transaction number (I'm out again but will check).. If should be on the invoice/email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have tried both but same message! Any thoughts? dov The license number should be included in the email message you receive after you've paid for the plug-in. From what I remember, boot up Lightroom, go to Plug-In Manager and choose the Alamy Plug-In. From the Plug-In window you should see a place to enter your login info and plug-in license number.

Imagery by Charly Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 From what I remember, boot up Lightroom, go to Plug-In Manager and choose the Alamy Plug-In. From the Plug-In window you should see a place to enter your login info and plug-in license number. That is correct. While in Lr, click on File then Plug-in Manager. That will bring up a window and you'll find the Alamy plugin. There you will put in your Alamy username, password and license number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dov makabaw Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 Thanks to all. That is what I have been doing. Clearly I have missed or messed up data in a step. Will go back and retry when back at my iMac. dov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokie Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I've recently started using Lightroom 5, is it worth buying the plug-in? John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
