Import and export templates

You can export templates you’ve created to share with colleagues or to use on a different computer. Templates are saved

with an .lrtemplate extension.

• To export a template, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) a template and choose Export. Type the

name of the template file and click Save.

• To import a template, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) the area where you want the template to

appear and choose Import. Double-click the template file.

Save slideshow settings as a slideshow collection

When you save slideshow settings as a slideshow collection, you can add new photos to the collection, and they

automatically include the slideshow settings. This is different from a custom template, which includes the slideshow

options but no photos. A slideshow collection applies the output settings to the photos in the collection.

1 In the Library module, select the photos for the slideshow.

2 In the Slideshow module, select a template and specify the settings you want in the Options, Layout, Overlays,

Backdrop, and Playback panels.

3 In the Filmstrip, select the photos to include them in the slideshow collection.

4 Click the Plus icon (+) in the Collections panel and choose Create Slideshow.

5 Type a name for your slideshow collection in the Create Slideshow dialog box. Choose a collection set from the Set

pop-up menu to add the collection to an existing set, or choose None.

6 Under Slideshow Options, select Include Selected Photos. Select Make New Virtual Copies if you want the collection

to include virtual copies instead of the original photos.

7 Click Create.

Lightroom adds the slideshow collection to the Collections panel and gives it a slide icon .
