Before I explain exactly how to do that let’s think about the advantages of this method:/PYou can control which add images to your website while in Lightroom. Decision made, it only takes a few seconds to add the appropriate published collection and publish your Web site.Removing images is just as easy, simply removing them from the Collection. You can add watermarks to your published images in Lightroom. If you change your watermark design, it is easy to publish all photos with the new design.You can upload pictures to a private album on your website for someone else to look at, without that the default formatting to use Lightroom Web module.PAre you interested in? The software you need to do this is called cooking (rhymes with spoken). The best way to think of Cooking is like WordPress for photographers. Like WordPress, it is a free CMS (content management system) and you must have your own domain name and hosting plan to use it. But whereas WordPress can be adapted to all types of applications, cooking is designed to do one thing only: building websites for creative people with portfolios, such as photographers, artists and graphic designers./PPSTRONGCreate a photo Website with Lightroom and Cooking/STRONG/PPYou can learn more by going to the website of cooking, where you also can download the free software and try it will matter if you own a domain name and hosting plan./PPIMG class=” wp-image-64059 alignnone” alt=”Koken website” src=”http://www.photo-natural.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/wpid-02-koken-website.jpg” width=”600″ height=”339″/PPBut before you do that, there are a few things you need to know:/PThe main advantage of WordPress about cooking, with a view to creating a photography portfolio website, is that there are many more themes available for WordPress. Cooking, currently, eight built-in themes (that you can see here). However, the themes in cooking are easier to change, although you are familiar with HTML and CSS, you’ll need to do. You can also Cook your own themes if you have the know how, and they are starting to appear on some of the websites that sell WordPress themes.The main advantage of Cooking about WordPress is that cooking with Lightroom’s Publishing Services integrates so you can upload photos directly from Lightroom. This is a huge advantage for Lightroom users. you don’t have to own Lightroom to use Cooking. You can install the software and uploading photos from your computer’s hard drive, as in WordPress.PHere is a closer look at the interface. But first, let me show you how it works in Lightroom. As you can see in the screenshot below, you can use published collections that contains the pictures you want to on your website. Lightroom lets you know if your new pictures yet, or changes in existing files. Click the publish button if you want to update your website./PPIMG class=” wp-image-64060 alignnone” alt=”Lightroom interface” src=”http://www.photo-natural.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/wpid-03-lightroom-publish-services.jpg” width=”600″ height=”375″/PPIn the interface of the cooking (accessible via a Web browser) you can then view the photos, change title, description and keywords and the order in which they appear./PPIMG class=” wp-image-64061 alignnone” alt=”Koken interface” src=”http://www.photo-natural.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/wpid-04-koken-library.jpg” width=”600″ height=”335″/PPYou can also static pages (like an about page) and blog posts (Essays) in cooking:/PPIMG class=”size-full wp-image-64062 alignnone” alt=”Koken interface” src=”http://www.photo-natural.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/wpid-05-koken-pages.jpg” width=”600″ height=”332″/PPI have only used Cook for a short time, but I am impressed how easy it is to use, especially with Lightroom’s Publishing Services. The exciting thing about cooking is that the software is in its early days
