How to Use SlickPic Plug-in for Lightroom
Open Lightroom. If you have already installed the plug-in and authorized it, on the left side of the application you will see the SlickPic bar with your screen name and a new album. Using your mouse to drag and drop, you can move photos already added to Lightroom into this album. When all photos are added, open this album. On the left at the bottom, click Publish, so your photos will be published in your SlickPic account. A right-click on this album launches a drop-down menu, where you can rename, create, delete or publish your album. When you click on Go to Published Album, you will be taken to your SlickPic gallery. All actions made in Lightroom will be saved in your SlickPic album. To add comments, scroll down on the right side of the Lightroom menu, add comments, and they appear in your SlickPic account. Clicking on Like in SlickPic will also appear in Lightroom.
Import Gallery Activity
To import likes, comments, and marked photos from your SlickPic site:
1. Right-click on the SlickPic bar in the Publishing Services section.
2. Click Edit Settings to bring up the Publishing Manager window.
3. Next, click the Update Activity button in Gallery Activity to force a refresh.
4. Look for the album name in the Activity folder in the albums panel. Open the album to view likes, comments, and the marked photos folder. If there are comments on your SlickPic site, highlight the photo in Lightroom and view them under the Comments panel (located on the right in Lightroom’s Library module).

👨💻 For computer Experts – manual plugin installation
If you are computer savvy and prefer to manually install the plugin, download, unzip and copy the folder called “SlickPic-Lightroom-Classic-Plugin.lrplugin” into Lightroom’s “Modules” folder (create it if it’s not there).
The folder can be found at:
Windows: C:\Users\your-username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Modules
Mac OSX: /Users/your-username/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/Modules
Tip: An easy way to find that folder is to open Lightroom Classic’s preferences, click the Presets tab, then click the Show All Other Lightroom Presets button. This will open the Lightroom folder in either Windows Explorer or Finder on Mac, and inside you will find (or create if it is not there) the Modules folder.
To complete the installation please re-launch Lightroom (close it and open it again) and choose “update catalog” when prompted. After you have completed the installation process, right-click and select Settings in SlickPic Publish Services, then click Login and proceed with account authorization.
