Inside Lightroom ClassicEarly AccessA native publish service —not another export dialog.
The Foto Owl plugin installs as a Publish Service in Lightroom. Pick an event, drag in photos, and Publish. Every edit you save is sent straight to your gallery — no exports, no zips, no FTP.
Native Publish Service — Foto Owl AI shows up alongside Hard Drive, Flickr and Adobe Stock — exactly where Lightroom photographers expect publishing tools to live.
Per-Event Collections — Every Foto Owl event maps to a publish collection in LR. Drag photos in, hit Publish, done.
Smart Re-Publish — Re-edit a photo after publishing? Lightroom marks it as modified and the plugin re-uploads only what changed.
