Lightroom Classic plug-in

SelectOps by Emulyn

Reconcile client and internal selection lists against explicitly selected Lightroom Classic photos without silently guessing at ambiguous references.

Private betaCheckout and download closed

Who it is for

Professional photographers, studios, retouchers, and production teams resolving stakeholder selection lists.

The workaround it improves

Manual filename cleanup, spreadsheet comparison, repeated searches, and ad hoc notes that obscure duplicates and ambiguity.

Local, catalog, file, and network behavior

Nothing important stays implied.

Catalog read
Reads only the explicit Lightroom Classic scope through documented SDK interfaces.
Catalog write
No catalog write is authorized in the launch workflow.
Direct .lrcat access
Never
File creation
Creates no report or export file and does not write to the clipboard.
Network
No selection contents, filenames, paths, or catalog data are uploaded by the product workflow.
Privacy
Selection contents and catalog-derived records remain local; the exact launch candidate has no report or export-file path.
Exceptions and ambiguity
Duplicate basenames, partial collisions, conflicting stakeholders, and other ambiguous references remain blocked until the photographer confirms a choice.
Recovery
The launch workflow is read-only and on-screen only, so no catalog or customer-file rollback is required.

What it checks, creates, or changes

  • Exact and normalized matches
  • Missing and duplicate references
  • Duplicate basenames
  • Ambiguous partial references
  • Conflicting stakeholder references
  • User-blocked items

What it deliberately does not do

  • Open or edit a .lrcat database
  • Modify original photographs
  • Resolve ambiguous references silently
  • Promise that a filename uniquely identifies a photograph

Exact compatibility

Tested rows only.

Compatibility policy
No public compatibility row is authorized yet.

Private engineering evidence does not become a public support claim until the exact product, host, OS, architecture, and release row pass review.

Known limitations

What still has to be true.

  • The current candidate needs broader representative-job validation.
  • Public compatibility rows, signed release authority, merchant mapping, and controlled customer delivery are not approved.

Installation

A Lightroom Classic plug-in installation guide will be published with the exact authorized package.

Update policy

Proposed one-time major-version license with 12 months of maintenance; legal review remains required.

Policy language remains subject to legal review before public activation.

Frequently asked questions

Clear answers before checkout.

Does SelectOps make ambiguous matches automatically?

No. It surfaces ambiguity and waits for deliberate confirmation.

Does SelectOps edit my Lightroom catalog?

The launch reconciliation workflow is read-only and never opens the .lrcat database directly.

Support and release

Private beta means exactly that.

Review licenses, affiliate eligibility, checkout, download, sitemap indexing, and structured product data remain disabled until this product’s release gate passes.
