Export a slideshow as JPEGs
You can export a slideshow as a series of JPEG files that you can share with clients or other people. Each JPEG file
includes the slide’s layout, background, and cell options. No transitions or playback options are exported.
1 In the Slideshow module, press Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) and then click the Export JPEG button on the
lower left.
2 In the Export Slideshow To JPEGs dialog box, type a name for the slideshow in the File Name (Windows) or Save
As (Mac OS) box. The name is used for a folder that contains the JPEG images. The JPEG images use the filename
you specify plus a sequence number and the .jpeg filename extension.
3 Navigate to and select a location to save the folder that contains the JPEG images.
4 Set the following options:
Quality Renders each JPEG at a specified quality setting. Lower-quality images yields a smaller file size. Drag the
Quality slider or enter a numeric value from 0 to 100 (with 100 representing the highest quality, and 0 representing
the lowest).
Note: Photos are embedded with sRGB profiles.
Width and Height Specifies the pixel dimensions for the exported JPEG files. Lightroom resizes the slides to fit
within the dimensions without cropping or changing the slides’ aspect ratio. The pixel dimensions of your computer
display are the default size.
Common Sizes Specifies common dimensions for the files, such as 640 x 480, and enters those values in the Width
and Height fields. Screen applies the dimensions of your display.
5 Click Save (Windows) or Export (Mac OS).
Export a slideshow as video
You can export a slideshow as a video file that you can watch on other computers. Lightroom saves video slideshows as
H.264 MPEG-4 files complete with slide layout, soundtrack, and other playback options.
1 In the Slideshow module, click Export Video on the lower left.
2 In the Export Slideshow To Video dialog box, enter a filename and choose where you want to save the video.
3 Choose a Video Preset to determine pixel size and frame rate. Use the guidelines in the dialog box to help you
choose.
4 Click Save (Windows) or Export (Mac OS).
