socksiong · 13th April 2008

Hi guys,
normally what settings do you use to export photos from lightroom?
like whats the w/h, ppi, etc?

thanx

normally I would just export as 16-bit PSD @300 dpi.

but in photoshop 16 bit cannot be save as jpeg. Or how to save 16bit file as jpeg?
Thanks

Regards

Good question. I wanna know as well.

Normally I will save under TIFF 300dpi. then export to PS for further edit.

so you guys don't convert to jpg from raw directly in lightroom?

jpeg is only 8bit, nothing you can do about it
dpi setting is pretty meaningless, it is just some info on the metadata but does nothing to the pic quality
wxh keep it original
most of the time do all pp in LR and export to jpeg

I have comparing my photographs' sharpness in Lightroom and Nikon Capture NX for RAW files and it seems that Lightroom's conversion of RAW to JPG is not as sharp as Capture NX!

I need confirmation on this from other members.
