LRBPlugins.com announces Lightroom 4 related updates

LRB Exhibition and LRB Grads

I've been busy with updates today, so here's the formal announcements, with videos etc. 

LRB Grads Update for Lightroom 4 Beta

LRB Exhibition 1.3 launched with new features including Lightroom 4 compatibility. 

I'll be looking into LRB Portfolio in the coming days. Preset Pack Vol 1. requires a lot of work to get matching exact, or even close in Process Version 2012.

Hi Sean. Working with LRBE v1.3 and have a couple of questions (one of which I sent earlier but don't know if I had right address)...

1) Send doesn't seem to work in Contact page. Rather than sending an e-mail a window full of HTML code pops up. No mail is received from the site at my address.

2) Is there a way to change the menu font colors (static, hover/selected)? I thought there was but I've tried everything in the Color Palette to no avail - menu names are just a light gray and never highlight to show which is active.

Thanks.

1) Email only works online. It's PHP based and Lightroom doesn't have a server built in.

2) Right now, the way Lightroom generates CSS makes an ass out of the order in which CSS tags appear. With links, it's vital that the link, active, hover and visited codes appear in a certain order in the CSS (that's the cascading part of cascading style sheets). Lightroom simply ignores it, and does whatever it wants-worse there's no predicting it, so scattering the CSS code throughout the file won't make it appear in the right order. For LRB Portfolio, my solution was to have Lightroom do its thing in Preview, but generate a whole new CSS template on export. This didn't happen until version 2, because it was a huge undertaking. The codebase had matured, so it was possible to do this then. LRB Exhibition, on the other hand is a baby, and right now, creating the 2nd file would actually break the slideshow features. In other words, a couple of weeks work, for no apparent increase in functionality.

You can of course edit the exported CSS file to put the menu links in order. This page explains the correct order: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_pseudo_classes.asp
