If your image will ultimately be printed, you may want to preview how the colors will look using the Soft Proofing panel.
When you're satisfied with your edits, select the Soft Proofing box in the toolbar to replace the Histogram panel with
the Soft Proofing panel. Use the gamut warning icons in the upper corners of the histogram to see which colors are out
of gamut for the monitor and which colors are out of gamut for the selected printing conditions.
Use the Profile and Intent menus to preview different color-managed print conditions. See Soft-proof images.
Export photos from Lightroom
In Lightroom, you don't save photos in the traditional sense. Instead, you export photos. You can export photos in
various file formats suitable for a wide range of uses.
For example, you can:
• Export photos as JPEGs to share online or as TIFFs for a print publication.
• Export to a folder on a computer or to an attached or networked drive, such as a Flash drive.
• Burn the photos to a disc after exporting so you can share them on a CD or DVD.
When you export photos, you create new files that include Develop module adjustments and other changes you’ve
made to the photos’ XMP metadata. When exporting, you can choose a photo’s filename, color space, pixel dimensions,
and resolution. You can save export settings as presets for reuse.
In addition, you can use the Publish Services panel to export and upload JPEG photos directly from Lightroom to
photo-sharing websites. You can also upload layouts from the Book module to Blurb.com. See
