How do I get PortraitPro Studio to work as a plug-in to Lightroom (Windows)?


A To set up PortraitPro as an external editor for Lightroom, please follow these steps:
  • Open Lightroom and in the menu go to Edit->Preferences...

  • In the "Additional External Editor" section, press the "Choose" button on the right for choosing the application. A new dialog will pop up asking for the location of the program to run.

    PortraitPro Studio 17 is usually located at "C:\Program Files\PortraitPro Studio 17\PortraitProStudio.exe".

    PortraitPro Studio Trial 17 is usually located at "C:\Program Files\PortraitPro Studio 17 Trial\PortraitProStudioTrial.exe".

  • Press the "OK" button to dismiss the Preferences dialog.

  • Open PortraitPro Studio, choose File and Settings, and make sure "Auto-Plugin Mode" is selected.
