You don't want to be doing all that epic photography and editing and then getting just one setting wrong and exporting at a lower resolution than what is possible.
I have recently found out that some of you are getting low quality files when exporting out of Lightroom. With a few simple tweaks you can make sure this never happens again.
Please let me know if you have any questions....

This is a great video, thank you for sharing. Now, what is the resolution you would suggest to still keep good pictures but that dont eat up so much space. This is for private pictures. Thank you

how do you save the editing settings from this library to other newer imports? Is it a library setting?

@dreamlifephotography 9 ай бұрын

So if you set it up as the video instructs, then automactically every time you import new photos on to that harddrive the adjustments and settings you make will be saved into that LR catalouge that you made.... when you get a new hard drive you will have to start this setup again, but otherwise just keep loading.. does that answer your question?

Great guide but I do not see an "image sizing" tab, I am fairly new to LR however but still, no option for it otherwise I would've figured it out by now.

@dreamlifephotography Жыл бұрын

What Lightroom version are you using? is it "Lightroom Classic" ? if so it should definitely have the image sizing tab.. are you using on desktop or on mobile?

Thanks Tom. Real good video! I have a question: I resently have a problem. When I edit my pictures from Lightroom to Photoshop by clicking "edit photo in photoshop". After I edit it in photoshop and I want to export it, the size has dramaticly downsized like from 80 MB to 20 MB. It was not doing that before. Do you have an idea why? Thanks ahead!

@dreamlifephotography 21 күн бұрын

thanks for your question. Hard to say without more information. Are you saving out of Photoshop or are you going back to Lightroom and exporting from there? and is the 80mb file to start with a RAW file or a Jpg or a TIFF?

@The_Daliban 6 ай бұрын

Thank you a ton for the Info! Is there a reason my image is more saturated and has more contrast after export? This is really confusing. I#m editing it to my liking and get a totally different result at the end. Any help is appreciated

@dreamlifephotography 6 ай бұрын

This could be because your computer or screen is setup for a different colour profile... I set mine to SRGB because that is closer to the standard that most of my clients will be viewing and printing in.. some monitors will be set to Adobe RGB or Adobe RGB 98... but the colour profile you are viewing in can make a huge difference in how they look on screen... also what colour profile are you exporting as?

@The_Daliban 6 ай бұрын

@@dreamlifephotography oh, ok thanks for the reply.. my monitor is set to srgb and i export in srgb. I use the technicolor cinestyle profile a lot of the time in camera. The problem is it is a custom profile and has to be imported into the camera. Importing it into lightroom didn't work for me using the import option in the profile menu in the develop tab. It is a p2f file and I couldn't find any information online on how to install or convert it. This whole topic seems so unnecessary as a whole. Kn davinci resolve you can set color space tags and every player is just taking the set tag for mapping. Lightroom should be able to apply a color space transform from profoto to segb and render the colors correctly but it doesn't seem to work that way. I am probably missing something. Thanks and take care

@dreamlifephotography 6 ай бұрын

Its hard to say from here what you are missing, but if it looks totally different in LR to photoshop or anywhere else on your computer I would say that you are viewing in a different colour profile outside or inside LR.. I hope you can get an answer to this... if you are on Mac be sure not to have high dynamic range turned on, I thinks this stuffs with the profiles@@The_Daliban

hi, you dont need to select output sharpening to print it?

@dreamlifephotography 7 күн бұрын

You definitely can do it at this stage. Personally I do sharpening if required inside Photoshop to the specifically sized print and not the high res original. Different sizes sometimes require different levels of sharpening

@joudylove 7 күн бұрын

@@dreamlifephotography can I not sharpen at all for my prints? or do I have to do it? I am uploading a full album to Pixieset website and then the client chooses the size of the prints and they order it from a third party stores, so what is the best solution in this case? thanks!😁

@dreamlifephotography 7 күн бұрын

@@joudylove So in that case I would follow all the same steps in this video, but then add the sharpen box and choose "sharpen for gloss prints" or "sharpen for matt prints" depending on what you offer

@@dreamlifephotography if a client prints, a glossy sharpened image on a matte paper, will this reduce the quality or will it look bad? I read somewhere that I can sharpen all images for glossy paper and it would print well on matte paper. if this is the case then I am thinking of just sharpening for glossy paper because otherwise I would have to upload two different albums for each client and it will take alot of storage and work. what do you think?☺

What about when you are exporting for Social Media use? do you export at those jpeg settings and then just let facebook/instagram etc because they reduce the file size to 2048 on the long edge, do you bother reducing them to that or not?

@dreamlifephotography 4 ай бұрын

Yeah this is a great question! I know that they reduce to a certain size (2048px long side) and I have downsized to this in the past but with the pinch and zoom on insta now I find if I load them at 3000px long side or even 3500px they just look to me to be better. This is just from my basic testing and observations, so thats why I go higher with pixel count. When I have done their suggested size it always looks poorer quality... At the end of the day you are loading up on to someones elses platform so you have little control... this is why I help my members and students get a place that they own to properly display their photos... but I would encourage you to try an upload at 3000 px and then try one at 2048 and see if you can notice any difference

Hey Sam... great question, I do resize to put on instagram. I make an action in Photoshop that resizes to 3000px longest side and sends to a folder which can then be sent to my phone. I do have a video on this youtube channel that explains how I do this..... sending to the phone at full res just takes up too much space
