Select the photos and/or videos you want to export
and choose File > Export.
By default, Lightroom
exports photos to the Hard Disk, as indicated in the Export To pop-up
menu at the top of the dialog box.
To export photos or videos to a disc, choose Export To >
CD/DVD.
Specify options in the Settings panels of the Export dialog
box: Export Location, File Naming, Video, File Settings, Image Sizing,
Output Sharpening, Metadata, Watermarking, and Post-Processing.
Export LocationChoose a destination from the Export To pop-up
menu.
(Optional) Select Put In Subfolder if you want the photos
exported to a subfolder within the destination folder. Type a name
for the subfolder.
(Optional) Check Add To This Catalog to automatically add
the exported photos to the current Lightroom catalog. If the exported
photos are part of an image stack, and you’re exporting to the same
folder as the original, check Add To Stack to include the re-imported
photo with the original stack.
Specify what to do if a file with the same name exists at
the destination:
- Ask What To Do
- Displays an alert that lets you resolve the naming conflict
by choosing a new name, overwriting the existing file, or not exporting
the file.
- Choose A New Name For The Exported File
- Assigns a different name for the exported file by adding
a hyphen and a numeric suffix.
- Overwrite WITHOUT WARNING
- Replaces the existing file with the file that you are exporting
and does not warn you of the conflict.
- Skip
- Does not export the photo.
File NamingChoose an option from the Rename To pop-up menu.
If you chose an option that uses custom text, enter the custom
name in the Custom Text box.
If you use a numeric sequence and you don’t want it to start
with “1,” enter a different value in the Start Number text box.
For more options, choose Rename To > Edit.
For
more information about custom names, see Naming options.
VideoSelect Include Video Files.
Choose a Video Format and Quality settings:
- H.264
- H.264 is a highly compressed video format commonly used for playback
on mobile devices. Choose Quality > Low for videos to
be played on mobile devices; choose Quality > Medium
for playback in a web browser.
- DPX
- Digital Picture Exchange (DPX) is a standard that is derived
from the Kodak Cineon format and is common for visual effects work.
DPX files are exported at 1920-x-1080 but you can specify a Quality
setting of 24p, 25p, or 30p.
- Original
- Exports the video in the same format, and at the same speed,
as the original clip.
 The
Source information displays the resolution and frame rate of the
video file in Lightroom. Use the Target information to see the resolution,
frame rate, and estimated file size of the exported video in the
chosen Video Format and Quality. If you have more than one video
selected, the Source information appears for the most-selected file.
File SettingsClick the Format pop-up menu and choose JPEG, PSD,
TIFF, DNG, or Original. Then, specify the appropriate options for
that format.
The Digital Negative (DNG) format saves your
camera raw files in an archival form.
Note: If you choose Original, Lightroom exports the original image
data, and no File Settings options are available. When exporting
original raw files, metadata changes are exported in an accompanying
sidecar file.
- Quality
- (JPEG) Specifies the amount of compression. JPEG uses lossy compression,
discarding data to make a file smaller. Drag the Quality slider
or enter a value between 0 and 100 in the Quality box.
- Color Space
- (JPEG, PSD, TIFF) Converts the photos to sRGB, AdobeRGB,
or ProPhoto RGB color space and tags the photos with the color profile.
Choose Other to select a custom color profile.
- Limit File Size To
- (JPEG) Specifies a maximum file size for the exported file.
- Bit Depth
- (PSD, TIFF) Saves the image with a bit depth of 8 or 16 bits
per channel.
- Compression
- (TIFF) Specifies ZIP compression, LZW compression, or no compression.
ZIP and LZW are lossless compression methods that reduce file size without
discarding image data.
Note: LZW compression is not available
if Bit Depth is set to 16 bits/component.
- Compatibility
- (DNG) Specifies the versions of Camera Raw and Lightroom
that can read the file.
- JPEG Preview
- (DNG) Determines whether the exported JPEG preview is full sized,
medium sized, or not created.
- Embed Fast Load Data
- (DNG) Allows images to load faster in the Develop module
but increases file size slightly.
- Use Lossy Compression
- (DNG) Significantly reduces file size but may cause a decrease
in image quality.
- Embed Original Raw File
- (DNG) Stores the original camera raw data in the DNG file.
Image Sizing If you choose JPEG, PSD, or TIFF as your export
file format, specify the image size. - Resize
To Fit
- Sets a maximum size for the width or height of photos, which determines
how many pixels the photos have and specifies the fineness of detail
in the exported images. Select an option and specify measurements
in inches, centimeters, or pixels. If you check Don’t Enlarge, Lightroom
disregards width or height settings that would enlarge the photo.
- Width & Height
- Resizes the photo to fit within the specified width and height,
retaining the original aspect ratio. Specifying 400 x 600,
for example, produces a 400 x 600 portrait photo
or a 400 x 267 landscape photo.
- Dimensions
- Applies the higher value to the longer edge of the photo
and the lower value to the shorter edge regardless of the photo’s
original aspect ratio. Specifying 400 x 600, for
example, produces a 400 x 600 portrait photo or
a 600 x 400 landscape photo.
- Long Edge and Short Edge
- Applies the value to the long or short edge of the photo
and uses the original aspect ratio of the photo to calculate the
other edge.
Note: The long edge of an exported photo cannot exceed
65,000 pixels.
- Megapixels
- Sets the number of megapixels and resolution (in dots per
inch) of the exported photo.
- Resolution
- Specify a resolution (in pixels per inch or pixels per centimeter) for
files intended for print output. For inkjet printing, 180 ppi to
480 ppi is suitable. For offset or lab prints, check with your service
provider.
Output SharpeningYou can apply an adaptive output sharpening algorithm to
your JPEG, PSD, an TIFF photos when you export. The amount of sharpening
that Lightroom applies is based on the output media and resolution
you specify. Output sharpening is performed in addition to any sharpening
you apply in the Develop module.
Select the Sharpen For box in the Output Sharpening area
of the Export dialog box.
Specify whether you are exporting for Screen, Matte Paper,
or Glossy Paper output.
Change the Amount pop-up menu to Low or High to decrease
or increase the amount of sharpening applied. In most cases, you
can leave the Amount set to the default option, Standard.
MetadataTell Lightroom how to handle metadata and keywords associated
with exported photos.
- Copyright Only
- Includes only IPTC Copyright metadata in the exported photo. This
option is not available for DNG files.
- Copyright & Contact Info Only
- Includes only IPTC Contact and Copyright metadata in the
exported photo. This option is not available for DNG files.
- All Except Camera Raw & Camera Info
- Includes all metadata in the exported photo except EXIF camera
metadata such as Exposure, Focal Length, and Date Time metadata.
This option is not available for DNG files.
- All
- Includes all metadata in the exported photo. This option
is not available for DNG files.
- Remove Location Info
- Removes GPS metadata from photos, even if All Except Camera
Raw & Camera Info or All is chosen from the pop-up menu. This
option is not available for DNG files.
- Write Keywords As Lightroom Hierarchy
- Uses the pipe character ( | ) to indicate
parent/child relationships (such as “Names|Maria”) in the metadata fields.
WatermarkingFor JPEG, PSD, or TIFF files, select the Watermark
box to include a copyright watermark on exported photos.
- Simple Copyright Watermark
- Includes the contents of the Copyright metadata field as
a watermark on the exported photo. If the Copyright field is empty,
no watermark is applied.
- Custom
- Choose a custom watermark whose name appears in the Watermark pop-up
menu. To create a custom watermark, click Edit Watermark. See Using the Watermark Editor.
Note: If you experience
problems with watermarks not being applied to exported photos, make
sure you are using the latest update. In Lightroom, choose Help > Check
For Updates. For additional troubleshooting, visit the Lightroom user forum.
