PLEASE HELP!!!!!! LIGHTROOM exorting for lab print
May 14, 2012 10:13:12 #
OOOOOK I need help....In lightroom....... How can I export the right size for print..... meaning im exporting my file with water mark...... but when I send them to the lab they come back with bottom part and water mark cut off....So how to size them for each size that I want???? 8x10,5x7,4x6 and so on from lightroom???? I now I can do it with crop ( aspect ratio ) under the histogram but it only let me do one size for each picture...... I guess what im asking.... is there a way after I edit ready to exort ....can I export one time with all sizes ready for print.....Here is some pictures of my granddaughter..... For EXP. I want the 1st in 8x10...2nd in 5x7 and 3rd in 4x6>>>> her grandmother want them all in 8x10 :{ thats like me exporting 5-6 time of the same 3 pictures.
I hope I said that good enuff to be unstood what im asking.....lol please help or send me a site,video anything Thanks!!!

Lee,
I'm pretty sure I understand what you're asking. (How do you export photos in multiple sizes in one operation?). I've worked with Lightroom for a while now and the only partial answer I can see is in picture package which is in the print module but even that won't do the sizes you need and the sizes it does do will need to be cut apart by you. Unless there is some LR genius out there who knows otherwise, I don't think there is a way to do what you ask.

They are getting cut off because the aspect ratio between what they are cropped in LR and what the lab is doing are different.
They can all be exported at once but they have to be cropped separately and when you export DO NOT resize DO NOT change anything except choose a file type and a quality. No shrinking, no enlarging...nothing else.

Yes...exporting them all at once is fine....that's easy. Note what I said above.

No need...you almost have it.
Just crop all of your shots to the correct aspect ratio (8 x 10, 5 x 7 etc...) and then choose them all and export them with no resizing options!!
Just choose JPG (or whatever file type) and leave it at that!! (You might choose "output sharpening" for the type paper they will use) but NO resizing, no enlarging.
Does that make sense?

I think he needs multiple aspect ratios for each photo. I'm hoping someone coughs up a secret here. I was thinking you could do multiple crops and save snapshots of each one but I have never spotted a way to have LR export the photos AND the snapshots associated with that photo all at once either.

Multiple aspect ratios is fine...they all stay at their crop even though they are exported at once...there is no secret.
1.) Crop the shots to whatever you want
2.) Export them all at once at whatever file type you want.
Simple easy....no problem...no secret at all.

So, I have one photo that I want cropped to 4x6, 5x7 and 8x10 so I crop to 4x6 ratio and save a snapshot, then I crop to a 5x7 ratio & save a snapshot. I then use the aspect ratio for 8x10 to crop the photo.
I now have the photo displayed showing the 8x10 crop and two Snapshots that aren't displayed. I go to the Export function and it will export all three versions for me?

The easier way to do this is to create Virtual Copies in the Library Module and crop each of them to the aspect ratio needed. Right click on the thumbnail and choose "Create Virtual Copy". You will then see a second copy right next to the original which you can edit/crop. You can even give it a different name to help avoid confusion. You can have as many Virtual Copies as you want and can select all of them and export them all at the same time. Do not check off the "Resize To Fit" box. Hope that helps! By the way, Beautiful pictures of a beautifulchild!

Why are you saving snap shots? Are you saying you want different sizes of the SAME shot?
Ahh...I see that you are....just save a snap shot of each OR just re-crop and export as necessary.

:roll: Good point! I'd never really thought of it that way.... no plugin needed then.
This thread has been extremely helpful :)
