This plug-in allows to export photos from Adobe Lightroom to CVS Photo Center (www.cvsphoto.com)

Usage

To install the plug-in, unzip the contained folder “CVSExport.lrdevplugin” to your Lightroom root directory as follows:

  • Windows XP
  • C:\Documents and Users\username\Application Data\Adobe\Lightroom\Modules
    or using environment variables:
    %USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Adobe\Lightroom\Modules
  • Windows Vista & Windows 7
  • C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Modules
    or using environment variables:

Note: In some situations the Modules folder is not there. If there is no "Modules" folder under Adobe\Lightroom just create it manually and then proceed with the installation.

    using windows XP and lightroom 2.3, there is no Modules subdirectory, so I created one and dumpe it all in there, not sure if it will work. will let you know? Cool plug in, I use Paint Shop pro (Corel) and they have a CVS hook, but a bit clunky.
