Creea Portfolio for Lightroom Classic (Pro plan)
From Lightroom straight to client approval.
Select photos from a shoot and send them directly to a client's approval gallery. The client opens a link, accepts or rejects frames, and can leave a comment, and you pull those decisions back into Lightroom, no browser needed. Available on the Pro plan.
Works with Lightroom Classic on macOS and Windows. Requires a Pro plan account.
See how it worksThe whole approval flow stays in Lightroom
Clients accept and comment
The client opens a link, marks photos as accepted or rejected, and can comment on each frame.
Decisions come back to Lightroom
Creea: Sync Ratings pulls accepted and rejected photos in as a flag, color label or keyword, and saves the client's comment to a Creea Comment field. No need to open a browser to finish the selection.
You control downloads
Decide whether the client can download every photo, only accepted ones, or none at all.
How the whole flow works
Install the plugin
Add the .lrplugin folder in Lightroom's Plug-in Manager.
Connect your Pro account
Paste an API key with approval-gallery access and use the connection test.
Send photos to your client
Export photos to the approval gallery, or publish a collection through Creea's publish service.
Sync the client's decisions
Once the client is done reviewing, use Creea: Sync Ratings from the Library menu to pull their decisions and comments straight into Lightroom.
Your API key stays under your control
The plugin stores the key in Lightroom's secure password storage. Separate permissions decide whether a key can upload new photos, replace existing ones, or delete them from a gallery.
What you need
- a creea.art account on the Pro plan
- Lightroom Classic 6.0 or newer
- an API key with gallery:read and gallery:upload
- gallery:replace, if you want to replace photos
- gallery:delete, if you want to remove photos from the plugin
Frequently asked questions
How is an approval gallery different from a portfolio gallery?
An approval gallery collects your client's decisions: accepted, rejected and commented photos. A portfolio gallery is a public showcase of your work, with no approval step.
Can I use this on the free plan?
Publishing to approval galleries from the Lightroom plugin is available only on the Pro plan. The free plan includes one approval gallery, Pro raises that limit to five.
How many photos can I send in one export?
You send as many photos as you select in Lightroom. Your plan limits the number of approval galleries, not the number of photos in a single gallery.
Does the client need an account to approve photos?
No. The client gets a link to the gallery and reviews photos without signing up.
I only want to publish a portfolio, not collect client approval.
This plugin also works with portfolio galleries on the free plan. See the portfolio plugin page.
Do I need to open a browser to see the client's decisions?
No. Use Creea: Sync Ratings from the Library menu to pull the flag, color label or keyword and the client's comment straight into Lightroom.
