Step 1: Installing ImageMagick (Windows users only)

(Mac users do not need do this since the plugin includes its own version)

To use this plugin, Windows users must install ImageMagick. Mac users do not need do this since the plugin includes its own version.

If you have any problems with the plugin, you'll may also need to install these Microsoft pacakges:

• (32-bit windows) Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86)
• (64-bit windows) Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x64)

64-bit Windows requires both packages (x86 & x64).

Step 2: Installing LR/Mogrify 2

Download and unzip LR/Mogrify 2. You should now have a plugin called 'LR2Mogrify.lrplugin'.

Lightroom 2 has a new plugin manager. To install using this you should:

1. Move LR2Mogrify.lrplugin to a convenient location of your own choosing.
2. Open Lightroom's plugin manager from the File menu.
3. Click the "Add" button.
4. Browse to the plugin and click "OK" on a Mac or "Add plugin" on a PC.

Step 3: Unlock the trial version

If you have donated towards the project you should unlock the trial version using the registration code that you should have received.

1. Open the plugin manager from the File menu.
2. Choose "LR/Mogrify 2" from the list of plugins.
3. Enter your registation code into the User Registration section
   

Step 4: Set up (Windows users only)

Windows users now need to tell the plugin where to find ImageMagick's mogrify application.

1. Go to Lightroom's Library module, click on an image and then press the Export button.
2. On the left side of the export dialog box, under 'Post Process Actions' double click on 'Mogrify Configuration'.
3. In the Mogrify Configuration panel which is now showing on the right, press 'Choose', browse to the ImageMagick installation (e.g. C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.4.1-Q16 - this will vary with the version of ImageMagick) and choose mogrify.exe
