Looking for Beta Testers for Dive Lens Lightroom Plugin

[Lemming77]

Hello Scubaboard,

I’ve been working on something I think might help underwater photographers who use Lightroom and MacDive. It’s called Dive Lens, and it’s a plugin that connects your photos in Lightroom with your dive logs in MacDive.

With DiveLens, you can:

• Automatically create Lightroom collections based on your dives.
• Sync your photos with dive data from MacDive, including dive site, depth, and dive number.
• Set the dive location for your photos (GPS coords if available).

It’s (obviously ) designed for Mac users running Lightroom Classic 14.x and MacDive.

I’m looking for a few serious testers who are familiar with these tools and willing to give feedback. I’d love to know if you think this plugin has potential, and I’m hoping to get some real-world testing before releasing it more widely.

If you’re interested, please reach out to me, or check out more details on the Dive Lens page.

I’d really appreciate your help!

Thanks so much,

Pierre-Benoît

If you do it for subsurface on windows, I am interested. Let me know if you do that please.

Why not in a future version being able to support both.

I'll focus on MacDive (as I'm a user of it) then we'll see with Subsurface.... I'll have to dig how the data are stored for that one.

But it's definitively a good idea to cover Subsurface too

I was looking for something similar and came at it from a different direction a while back. I wrote a command line program to convert a dive log in XML format (Subsurface or MacDive export) to GPX, at which point one can use the built in geotagging support to add the information to photos in Lightroom. It didn't do much more than add the depth and (approximate) coordinates for the photos.

I wish you all luck and success.
