for those asking, this is the Classic version of Lightroom, not the cloud version. if you're not seeing the same thing in this video, consider using the Classic version of lightroom!

@byronvontreal7046 3 жыл бұрын

I mostly use my phone. I’ll transfer my images to my phone and upload to Lightroom. After editing, I use to download to my phone, but I’ll just export (after setting these settings) straight to social media. What’s your thoughts, is that better considering it’s straight from the source and not so many transfers?

Great info. I especially like the Lightroom export settings. A workaround on the last step is to post directly from your computer. Google Chrome has in the developer module the ability to emulate your phone and allow you to post from the browser. A quick google search reveals instructions to do this.

Thank you for the great explanation of things! This is the information that I needed. Somewhere along the way I have one of those 'phantom compressions' and the photo comes out looking like I took it with a candid camera. Is it possible to get into the 'super technical' image ratio (the 2160px = twice the 1080px part) or do you have a link with information I'd be able to look into? Thanks in advance, keep posting this great content! 💪

Hey Pat, I thoroughly enjoyed this video, as I do with all your other videos lately, and have a question. Let's say you are done in Lightroom with your editing, but you want to edit that image in Photoshop because maybe there are some areas that you want to touch up, patch, clone etc. My question is, do you save that image in Photoshop which in return will update the image in Lightroom automatically and export from there or do you have some tips on the right export settings within Photoshop that corresponds to your Lightroom settings? Would love to hear your thoughts on this! Greetings from Switzerland.

This is so wonderful to know. Thank you for the thorough and comprehensive walk-through. Am I understanding you correctly to assume that I should not simply export from LR on mobile to upload to Instagram, correct? On Mac, what about using the "Files" transfer functionality? Where the files can be saved to iCloud, and the files folder syncs on all devices. Is that a good option for file/image transfer? Thanks.

Holy Toledo! The Export Settings section of this video is god sent! Thanks! I have been having a lot of trouble lately moving my images from LR to Google Photos via Windows desk top (the only way I currently know how) where I then often share to Snapseed for further editing -- but I have been puzzled by the poor quality! They look much better now thanks to your settings recommendations! Question: I have a Stitched-Pano which I created in LR and want to try an IG Carousel, but even after exporting from LR using your settings to a Pano-Carousel app (via Google Photos) they still look bad in the carousel app (although better than before thanks to your settings tip). Do I need to use alternative LR export settings for this kind of thing if I want to use a Pano-App? I haven't had much luck trying to create a pano-carousel in PS.

Firstly, thank you for your videos, I really enjoy watching them. You mention to use 1x-3x your focal length to determine your shutter speed. Do you adjust that according to the frame of your camera body? i.e. if I am shooting an APS-C sensor, do I do 1x-3x x 1.6? Thank you again for sharing all of your years of knowledge with us!

@RealPearlMania 2 жыл бұрын

I use APS-C and do portrait photography. I mainly shoot with 35mm lens which is equivilent to 56mm on APS-C. Therefore, the minimum shutter speed would be 1/60th but that's not at all recomended, as any lower than 1/60th would result in blur/out of focus. Ideally you'd want about 1/200th for sharp photos with this lens, which is the nearest to 3x the eqiuvilent focal length of 1/60th. Hope this helps.

Pat there is another way to place photos in Instagram from your PC/Mac without transferring into your phone. So while you are sign into your Instagram account you need to go to your browser Settings > More Tools > Developer Tools. This action will open/break your screen in two (normal instagram view on the left and the back end from it to your right) and you will choose on the top left the icon representing a cel phone than you can work in your posting directly from your computer.

Very nice, easy to understand, and informative video! Thank you! I also wanted to ask you if you have ever noticed that after exporting an image from lightroom, the exported JPG photo looks different than in Lightroom (colors, fade, etc..) Is it because of the conversion to SRGB?

it could be, or it also could be monitor calibration issues. either or, check the colour profiles that are going in, and match them as they're going out :)

You have them in lightroom cc. When you export the image. For mobile: Choose export as and you will get to a menu similar but not the same to what classic has. If you want the sharpening it will be in the more option tab. For laptop/pc: when you export choose custom setting and you will get same menu as in mobile.
