Or, if you're trying to convert after you've already imported your shots, choose file save as, then change the file type to JPG on a shot by shot basis..

LR should have a "Save As" command in the " Edit" pull-down; in the ensuing panel you can choose the saved file format - look for a triangle if the panel does not have a list.

Go to Export and in the box that says "File Settings," use the pull down menu at Image Format. Choose TIff. Choose your color space, print would be most likely be AdobeRGB or sRGB, determined by your expected use. Check whatever bit depth you want and probably no compression unless someone said to choose Zip. Check any other settings you want in Export and export it.

This is how you save as a TIFF file.
To save as a JPG file (as the OP asked), follow essentially the same process, but save as JPG from pull down menu. You can adjust the quality of the saved JPG in this same window.

It's in the menu when you export it. Scroll down and choose jpeg; also choose the size you want it in in pixels and resolution. Use 300 for prints or high quality or 72 for inernet viewing.

LightRoom doesn't have a Save As option - only export

Actually you can save your data directly into the xmp file using the Command Save. However, in this case, the reference was to a pull down menu in export.

I totally agree, the reference was made by someone else, as quoted directing the OP to choose Save As from the File menu. Your directions were spot on :)

Is there an "export as" in LR ? The intent of Save or Save As is fairly standard across many applications and it is hard to believe that Adobe would not incorporate in its software products.

You are able to export in several formats, i.e., tiff, jpg, original, Photoshop, DNG (a universal RAW format).

It's a different way of thinking/working - LR doesn't make changes to images so there's nothing to save. You make adjustments and the results are displayed but all your adjustment are just saved in the database. Each time you view an image the original is loaded and then the recipe of adjustments you've made get applied. Just like if you placed a negative in an enlarger then set about making the dodge, burn, exposure, color, etc. the negative doesn't change.
