Export file lightroom 2.4 ม หร อไม

Exporting photos with the quality you want can be challenging when there are multiple possible purposes for each image – from digital sharing to publishing the photo on “the Gram,” to printing photos for framing or magazine covers – all of these and more have particular export methods that maintain the quality we’re all looking for in our photography.

So today, I thought I’d go through the best settings to ensure you never have any quality issues with your photos when exporting from Adobe Lightroom. Let’s begin!

Steps before you begin…

Lightroom and Lightroom Classic are both fantastic image-processing solutions that allow you to work with RAW photos and other images and turn them into high-quality masterpieces. But to accomplish that, you need a few things beyond just the export settings:

• First off, you need to work with RAW photos for optimal quality. Most modern cameras allow you to save the RAW version of an image, Even iPhones enable some great options for photographers with Apple ProRAW, smart Auto HDR, and automatic Lens Correction (all of which can be turned on / off in Settings / Camera).
• Secondly, your work monitor should be calibrated to display color accurately so your designs don’t look wildly different on new devices or in print. We may be biased, but the TruHu app is a wonderful solution for this since it needs just your phone’s camera, it uses colorimetric data (unlike other tools that rely on guesstimating), and it’s a fraction of the cost of traditional colorimeters.
• Next, you should know the purpose of your image*. Are you editing for the web or print? Depending on that and other factors, you may want to export in TIFF format and use Adobe RGB instead of sRGB (Lightroom does not support CMYK, Adobe RGB is recommended for print).

*Not sure? Don’t worry! Lightroom automatically saves edits in the cloud, while Lightroom Classic saves edits in your Catalog folder (find its location by going to Edit / General). That way, whenever you reopen an image in either version, you’ll have all your previous edits, as well as the edit history, readily available.

Exporting Photos from Lightroom

Here are the steps to export photos from Lightroom, with detailed settings for both Lightroom, Lightroom Classic, followed by a section specifically for Lightroom Mobile..

After editing your image(s), go to File > Export (Shift+E in Lightroom, Shift+Ctrl/Cmd+E in Lightroom Classic). You can also click the share button to the top right of your Lightroom window.

1. Lightroom CC:

1. Your export settings will open up on the right-hand side of the software. If you use the share button, you’ll have to click on “Custom Settings” as well.
2. You can now select your preferred options, including file type, dimensions, watermark options, and advanced naming and metadata options.
3. To export photos at maximum quality in Lightroom, choose the desired file format:
   1. JPEG for web/digital
   2. JPEG XL / AVIF for HDR displays
   3. JPEG/TIFF for print
   4. DNG for RAW files (best quality overall, but incompatible with many editing software)
4. Then, if available, set the Quality level at 100%, select the appropriate Color Space settings for your export under “More Options” (sRGB for web/digital, AdobeRGB for print, HDR sRBG for HDR formats).

1. For TIFF exports, the following settings are considered a golden standard, except for Output Sharpening, which will depend on the purpose of your image. If you’re editing for print, you can select your type of paper in this context menu. However, most professional photographers recommend manually sharpening your image instead of using this built-in function.

↪ Note: TIFF vs JPEG

JPEG and TIFF files use fundamentally different compression systems, resulting in JPEG files being much smaller than TIFF files. JPEG uses lossy compression – you may have heard the term. It makes jpg files much easier to store, at the expense of some of the image data, damaging the picture. This is also why many JPGs online lose their quality over constant reshares, as people save or screencap those images, then reshare them through online platforms which recompress them, resulting in lossy compression artifacts.

TIFF, or Tag Image File Format, on the other hand, uses lossless compression which preserves image quality, the downside being that files are much larger and more difficult to share online. The high quality of the export means TIFFs are perfect for storage and don’t have artifacts. Furthermore, TIFFs, like PNGs and GIFs, support transparent image elements.

To sum up, JPEGs are great for online sharing as long as there are no visible compression artifacts, while TIFFs are ideal for backups, especially for images featuring transparent elements, as well as further digital editing.

2. Lightroom Classic:

1. After clicking Export, Lightroom Classic opens up a export menu with more advanced settings compared to the cloud version of Lightroom.
2. Like the basic version above, Lightroom Classic allows you to pick file naming, image sizing, sharpening, metadata, and watermarking settings.
3. For optimal quality, click on File Settings, select the desired file format, similar to the CC version of Lightroom:
   1. JPEG/PNG for web/digital
   2. TIFF for print
   3. PSD for further editing in Photoshop
   4. DNG for RAW files (best quality overall, but incompatible with many editing software)
   5. Any format for HDR displays (unlike Lightroom CC, Lightroom Classic allows you to use HDR color spaces for any file format except DNG). Here’s an example of good settings for HDR exports:

1. Then, if available, set the Quality level at 100%, select the appropriate Color Space settings for your export under “More Options” (sRGB for web/digital, ProPhoto RGB for print, HDR sRBG for HDR formats).
2. For TIFF exports, Lightroom Classic allows you to select the color space (unavailable in Lightroom CC as of this writing). So, for print purposes, your Lightroom settings should look something like this:

3. Lightroom Mobile:

Lightroom Mobile is becoming increasingly popular among photographers. Despite the slightly slower editing compared to the desktop version, Lightroom Mobile has nearly all the capabilities of Lightroom CC while allowing you to edit from your phone, on the go. So here are the best export settings for Lightroom Mobile:

1. Tap on the Share button in the top right corner of your app (between the Help button and the Cloud button)
2. Next, the following screen will pop up:

1. To simply save the image to your phone, tap on Save copy to device.
2. To share the image to a different app, tap on Share. You can also choose the option to add a border before sharing. This is a fun option if you have an instant camera with Bluetooth capabilities.
3. To go into advanced export settings, tap on Export as. This prompts a screen that looks very similar to the desktop version of Lightroom, with similar settings.
4. To export at maximum quality in Adobe Lightroom Mobile, select the desired file format, similar to the CC version of Lightroom:
   1. JPEG for web/digital
   2. JXL / AVIF for HDR displays
   3. JPEG/TIFF for print
   4. DNG for RAW files (best quality overall, but incompatible with many editing software)

↪ Note: ProPhoto RGB vs Adobe RGB

The best way to illustrate the differences between ProPhotoRGB and Adobe RGBis by looking at them side by side:

1. For TIFF exports, Lightroom Mobile is more similar to Lightroom Classic than Lightroom CC, in that it allows you to select both the Bit Depth and Color Space. In fact, insofar that I’ve seen, Lightroom Mobile is the only version allowing for LZW compression at 16 bits (it was removed from CC and Classic*). Here are the best settings I found for Lightroom Mobile print exports:

*Note: 16-bit export options were removed in other Lightroom versions because it actually makes files larger with little discernible benefit unless you are working in ProPhoto – see also the differences between LZW and ZIP for more info.

Things to Keep in Mind when Exporting Photos Lightroom & Lightroom Classic

Here are a few useful pointers when using the export function:

1. Both desktop Lightroom versions allow you to export using previous settings. Simply go to File > Export with Previous.
2. All Lightroom versions allow you to use presets. Simply save your favorite presets from around the web or create some yourself, and then load them into your preferred version of Lightroom.
3. All Lightroom versions allow you to export multiple photos at once. You simply have to select all the ones you want to export.
4. Lightroom Classic allows you to publish images directly to Adobe Stock, Flickr, or other services (you can add plugins).

1. Lightroom CC and Lightroom Classic both allow you to add photos to your portfolio by default. Lightroom Classic also allows you to create a portfolio (File > Export as Catalog)
2. Lightroom Mobile allows you to create an Edit Replay – a great tool for those creating and selling presets, as well as for posting short vertical videos on TikTok / Instagram Reels / YouTube Shorts.

Summing Up

Hopefully, we’ve put to rest your concerns regarding the best settings to export photos from Lightroom (CC, Classic, and Mobile) without losing any quality.

Naturally , the term “quality” is subjective, but the settings above should cover most scenarios for the vast majority of photography use cases. Have anything to add? Our comments are always open.
