How to get final edits onto Instagram
Hi everyone What is an easy process for getting photos from a computer onto IG? I don't particularly want to email all of them to my phone and post from there. What do you do? John Aug 25 18 09:44 am Link There is a plugin for Lightroom that will do it. I used to use that. Now I use Lightroom CC Classic and a tool called buffer. Lightroom will sync my portfolio galleries to all my devices. I can pick any image and share it via Buffer. And buffer posts to my IG, Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn in one shot. I think you have to pay for the level of service I have but you can get one feed for free I believe. Aug 25 18 10:06 am Link Put the pictures you want on Instagram on Google Drive or Dropbox. Put the Google Drive or Dropbox app(s) on your phone. Use the apps to post the pictures to Instagram. Aug 25 18 10:17 am Link Eleven 11 Photography wrote: Definitely an option, thanks!

I use an initial comment to add my tags, which keeps the interface clean as users scroll to your post. Aug 25 18 01:32 pm Link If you use Safari on your desktop, you could go under -Develop- User Agent- iPhone. That will change the view of Safari and it will allow you to upload images from your desktop. Aug 26 18 10:06 am Link posting to google PHOTO is the best option, not google drive. (just set settings to "original quality") that way, you can do last minute lighting tweaks as you view them **on the phone**. The app then has a direct post-to-instagram option. As a side path, if you install free google snapseed, you can then pull it from photo, to snapseed, to instagram. snapseed lets you add any needed white border to make a non-square crop, square. while you get to view the final result In Your Phone, which is rather crucial IMO. (it also has a metric boatload of other filters and adjustments, but I personally dont tend to use them) Aug 26 18 10:59 am Link I text/airdrop everything to myself Aug 26 18 12:16 pm Link I just connect the phone to the computer and copy the images over. I feel archaic. Aug 26 18 12:27 pm Link Gary Davis wrote: I am not certain this is possible any more.

I can't copy images to it.

Much appreciated. Aug 28 18 08:26 am Link I keep it simple. I have the Dropbox app on my computer which integrates seamlessly into the default file explorer. I save my image to the Dropbox folder. By the time I grab my phone and open the Dropbox app the image has already been synced. I export the image from Dropbox to my phone and move on. Simple! Aug 28 18 09:38 am Link Watch this 3 minute video from youtube. Quick and easy. It turns your computer into the phone mode. You can download straight from your files on the computer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcA4qK82Tl4 Oct 04 18 10:30 am Link I just upload to Flickr download it from there on my phone and then upload to IG.

Oct 06 18 02:02 pm Link Putting then in a folder and syncing didn’t work because it wanted to erase all the images on my phone and replace them with the ones I want to post on IG.
