A photographer needs several teammates in different locations to review a large set of images and help narrow them down for post-production. In Lightroom, a single user can use star ratings and flags, but is there a way to make that process collaborative? Can Lightroom share galleries for remote feedback, or are there third-party web galleries or asset-management tools that work better for team review and ranking?

Ligthroom CC allows you to create such galleries:

  1. create and login with your Adobe ID in LR
  2. click the sync button left of the collection name that you want to share
  3. go to https://lightroom.adobe.com/ and login there
  4. you should now be able to share the gallery from the website via social media or direct link

There are third party plugins/templates available that let you create web galleries that allow user feedback. This is made for clients to provide feedback, but should work for colleagues just fine.

An example I found that works with older versions of Lightroom is the TTG CE4 Client Response Gallery

There are several other things available. They all seem to be templates for the web module to export a custom web gallery that has the desired functionality.

I'm not affiliated with any of the solutions mentioned.

Yes—this is a valid workflow, but Lightroom’s built-in options are limited depending on version and setup.

Based on the answers, Lightroom CC can sync a collection and let you share it from Lightroom’s web interface. That can work for remote review and feedback if you publish the collection and share the gallery link.

If you need more structured client/team feedback, third-party Lightroom web gallery plugins/templates are another option. These export galleries designed for comments or responses, which can also work for colleagues reviewing selects.

For a more full digital-asset-management workflow, a separate DAM system such as Daminion was suggested, since it is designed for collaborative work on image libraries.

So the practical choices are:

  • use Lightroom CC synced/shared web galleries for simple remote review,
  • use a Lightroom web gallery plugin/template for feedback-oriented galleries,
  • or use a dedicated DAM tool if you need stronger multi-user collaboration.
