# jxl for lightroom

Create JpegXl files from Lightroom with user export

> This project is a proof of concept for a user export plugin for Lightroom.

## Demo

![NVIDIA_Share_tRK0dthZOz](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/6566207/175048881-752dff3f-ebec-474e-8806-7aac51d33574.gif)

## Motivation

I want to extend the popularity of the [JpegXl](https://jpegxl.com/) format, hopefully this format will be soon supported by OpenSource Community, Google, Apple and Microsoft.

A Lightroom Plugin would be a better way to create JpegXl files out of Lightroom. But I currently have no resources to learn Lua. But this tool works fine and can be integrated into Lightroom.

## What is Missing?

A Lot, feel free to contribute! Or add issues.

See: https://github.com/dhcgn/jxl-for-lightroom/issues

## Install

> Currently only works on Windows

Just copy the file `jxl-for-lightroom.exe` (see [Releases](https://github.com/dhcgn/jxl-for-lightroom/releases) and assets) to some location and add this location to your export profile.

I prefer: `C:\Users\MyUserName\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Modules\jxl-for-lightroom\jxl-for-lightroom.exe`

1. Go to `File->Exports...`

2. Create a new Preset with these settings:

   1. `File Settings` to `PNG` (`JPEG` works too)

   2. `Post-Processing` 

      1. `After Export` set to `Open in Other Application...`

      2. `Application` set to the file `jxl-for-lightroom.exe`

3. Save the preset

## How does it work?

This project includes the executable from the project https://github.com/libjxl/libjxl, which will be extracted at program start.

Lightroom call this tool with all files to convert, then a webpage is opened in the standard browser.

On the webpage you can select parameters for the encoding to jpegxl and start the encoding.
