Lightroom Jpeg Conversion

Lightroom file compression is excessive. I export DNG to JPEG and the file size ends up too small. I cant order prints as I get a "file size too small" from print services. For example, I start with a 10MB DNG raw file that results in about a 100kb file. I cant find an answer on changing the compression rate from Adobe.

The export dialogue allows you to set the amount of compression or the file size or the dimensions of the export. You may not have the export dialogue expanded to see all the options.

See the illustration I posted and note these settings. File Setting Quality to 100%. Then Image Sizing - uncheck the box that says Resize to Fit: I have mine checked and Long Edge selected in the drop down because I post images to the internet that I don't want to be any larger than 1000 pixels. So just uncheck the Resize to Fit box and your jpg image will be full size and have the least amount of compression. Don't forget the File Settings of Quality to 100% too.

Quality 100% and uncheck Resize to Fit box
