Export photos to hard drive
Photos waiting to be published appear in one of two queues: New Photos To Publish or Modified Photos To Republish.
Lightroom uploads everything in both queues when you publish a folder or folder set.
1 To publish photos to a hard drive connection, do one of the following:
• Select a hard drive folder and click Publish.
• Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) a hard drive folder and choose Publish Now.
2 If prompted, click Replace to update published photos with newer versions.
Presets for export, and other settings
Export photos using presets
Export presets make it faster to export photos for common uses. For example, you can use a Lightroom preset to export
JPEG files suitable to e-mail to clients or friends.
Export photos using presets
1 Select the photos you want to export and then choose File > Export With Preset or click the Export button.
2 Choose a preset. Lightroom offers the following built-in export presets:
Burn Full-Sized JPEGs Exports photos as JPEGs converted to and tagged as sRGB with maximum quality, no scaling,
and a resolution of 240 pixels per inch. By default, this preset saves the exported files to the Files On CD/DVD
destination specified at the top of the Export dialog box, in a subfolder named Lightroom Burned Exports.
Export To DNG Exports photos in DNG file format. By default, this preset specifies no postprocessing action and
allows you to choose a destination folder after you click Export.
For Email Opens a message to allow you to send the photos to someone using email. See Email photos from
Lightroom.
For Email (Hard Drive) Exports photos to the hard drive as sRGB JPEG files. Exported photos have a maximum size
of 640 pixels (width or height), medium quality, and a resolution of 72 pixels per inch. Upon completion, Lightroom
shows the photos in the Explorer (Windows) or the Finder (Mac OS). Choose the destination folder after you click
Export.
Save export settings as presets
1 In the Export dialog box, specify the export settings you want to save.
2 Click Add at the bottom of the Preset panel on the left side of the dialog box.
3 In the New Preset dialog box, type a name in the Preset Name box and click Create.
Export photos using the previous settings
You can export photos using the same settings from the most recent export session that was set manually, including
modified presets. Otherwise, the Export With Previous command does not work with export presets.
1 Select the photos to export.
