• Format. Choose from eight different file

formats. Some options like TIFF and JPEG

may offer additional settings for control over

compression and bit depth.

• Sharpen. Choose whether you want to

Sharpen the exported file. This can increase

details in the edges of the image and

overcome some of the compression artifacts

of formats like JPEG.

• Resize. You can choose to export at the

original size or to enter a new dimension for

the image to fit its long side or short side.

• Color Space. You can choose from 3 color

spaces for output.

◦ sRGB is the narrowest color gamut, but

most compatible with the web

◦ Adobe RGB is a common color space used in computer graphics and many software

applications.

◦ ProPhoto RGB is the widest gamut and supports the broadest range of colors. ProPhoto

RGB is the only color space that can contain all the colors captured in a raw format

photo.

• Quality. Some formats (like JPEG) allow you to assign a Quality setting which will affect overall

compression and the final file size.

If you are exporting a single file, you can change its name to something more descriptive at the top of the

dialog box. If you are exporting multiple images, you won’t see this option, and the exported files will retain

their original file names.

Tip:

If you need to set your resolution on export, think of it this way. Dots per inch (or more

accurately pixels per inch) describes the effective resolution. So an image that’s 3,000

pixels wide would make a 10-inch print at 300 ppi. You can set the resolution of the

exported image using the Resize option in the Export dialog. If you don’t change this

setting, Luminar will export at maximum quality.
