NPN Plug-In for LR3?

Does anyone know whether there is a plug-in for posting photos directly to NPN from Lightroom 3? Or are there plans for one? I just started using LR and I am hooked! I created presets for exporting the small and large files, per the NPN rules, but I would love to be able to send photos directly to the NPN site. There are plug-ins for Photobucket and Smugmug, not to mention the unmentionables (Facebook and Flicker). Why not NPN?
Thanks!

Hello Michele,

Sad to say, I don't believe there is any such plug-in. I reviewed the plug-ins on Lightroom Exchange but I could not find any such animal. Based on the lack of responses to your topic, it doesn't appear that many NPN members use Lightroom. I've also seen some new additions planned for Lightroom 4 and didn't see anything connected to NPN.

Most of the plug-ins are designed by enterprising entrepreneurs who either offer their creations for free or charge a modest fee. My guess is that unless some ambitious member of NPN steps up to the plate, we will not see a plug-in for NPN.

I do have one thought that might work. (You may have already tried it, if so just ignore the suggestion.) The web module allows you to upload photos to websites and is fairly easy to configure. If you haven't used it, I suggest viewing any number of tutorials on the subject.

Good Luck,
Gary
