Before. After. One click.
TLBX AdX Before & After exports the untouched before and the finished after of every photo from Lightroom Classic — as two files, or as one image side by side, stacked or split, with captions and in the right format for Instagram, stories and client presentations.

What the plug-in does
Your choice of before
The original as imported, a snapshot, or the edited photo without selected groups: basic settings, tone curve, color, masks, healing, lens corrections, geometry, detail, effects, lens blur — in any combination.
One image instead of two
Side by side, stacked or split with a divider. Captions “Before” and “After” are editable. Formats 1:1, 4:5, 9:16, 16:9, 3:2 or as exported.
Step by step
One file per editing step in the order you define — from the original to the finished image, numbered, in reverse if you like.
Your catalog stays untouched
Every photo is saved in a snapshot, exported and restored. Your edits remain exactly as they are.
In batches
Select 20 photos, pick the export preset, done. Everything is saved as a Lightroom export preset.
Your language
German, English, French — the plug-in speaks the language of your Lightroom.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need an account?
No. Nothing at all for the trial, and after the purchase you receive an e-mail with your license key. Enter it together with your e-mail address in the Plug-in Manager under “TLBX AdKeyMa”. There is no password and no web login.
What is TLBX AdKeyMa?
The second plug-in in the package. It handles the login for all TLBX plug-ins in Lightroom so that every plug-in uses the same license. Set it up once; it stays in the background.
What counts as a trial image?
Every exported photo, whether it produces two files or one composed image. Ten photos in total, not per month; reinstalling does not reset the counter.
Does the plug-in change my photos?
No. Before exporting it saves each photo in a snapshot, applies the chosen before state, exports and restores everything. Two steps remain in the history; the snapshot is removed.
Why does Lightroom ask about AI updates for some photos?
That dialog belongs to Lightroom itself: it appears when a photo contains AI masks or AI denoise and settings change. A plug-in cannot suppress it. The setting “Apply the before state directly” in the Plug-in Manager reduces the number of dialogs.
