Skerper Lightroom plugin
What is the Skerper plugin?
A Lightroom Classic plugin that connects your Lightroom catalog to Skerp. Sync approved selections directly — no manual file export needed. Available on Standard, Pro, and Studio plans.
How do I install the Skerper plugin?
Download the plugin from Settings > Skerper in your Skerp dashboard. In Lightroom Classic, go to File > Plug-in Manager > Add and select the downloaded plugin. Click "Authorize in browser" — Skerp opens, you confirm, and the plugin captures the token automatically. No manual API key copy-paste.
How do I connect a gallery to Lightroom?
Use the Publish Service: your Lightroom publish collection is the gallery. Drag photos in, hit Publish, and Skerp receives them with filenames, captions, and keywords intact. Remove a photo and it leaves the gallery.
How does syncing work?
Sync is explicit and deliberate. Click "Sync Now" in the plugin to pull every client decision (approvals, rejections, ratings) and write them into Lightroom. A pre-sync dialog summarises exactly what will change before anything is written to your catalog. Comments flow both ways — client notes appear in Lightroom's Comments panel and your replies flow back to the gallery.
Can I configure how decisions land in Lightroom?
Yes. Map Approved, Rejected, and Unreviewed to any combination of pick flag, color label, keyword, and star rating. Set a global default in Skerper settings, then override per gallery when a project needs something different.
Does the plugin work with Lightroom CC?
The plugin is built for Lightroom Classic. Lightroom CC (cloud) does not support third-party plugins. For Lightroom CC users, use the proof file export instead.
