inches, centimeters, or pixels. If you check Don’t Enlarge, Lightroom disregards width or height settings that would
enlarge the photo.

Width & Height

Resizes the photo to fit within the specified width and height, retaining the original aspect ratio.

Specifying 400 x 600, for example, produces a 400 x 600 portrait photo or a 400 x 267 landscape photo.

Dimensions

Applies the higher value to the longer edge of the photo and the lower value to the shorter edge

regardless of the photo’s original aspect ratio. Specifying 400 x 600, for example, produces a 400 x 600 portrait photo
or a 600 x 400 landscape photo.

Long Edge and Short Edge

Applies the value to the long or short edge of the photo and uses the original aspect ratio

of the photo to calculate the other edge.

note: The long edge of an exported photo cannot exceed 65,000 pixels.

Megapixels

Sets the number of megapixels and resolution (in dots per inch) of the exported photo.

Resolution

Specify a resolution (in pixels per inch or pixels per centimeter) for files intended for print output. For

inkjet printing, 180 ppi to 480 ppi is suitable. For offset or lab prints, check with your service provider.

Output Sharpening

You can apply an adaptive output sharpening algorithm to your JPEG, PSD, an TIFF photos when you export. The
amount of sharpening that Lightroom applies is based on the output media and resolution you specify. Output
sharpening is performed in addition to any sharpening you apply in the Develop module.

1

Select the Sharpen For box in the Output Sharpening area of the Export dialog box.

2

Specify whether you are exporting for Screen, Matte Paper, or Glossy Paper output.

3

Change the Amount pop-up menu to Low or High to decrease or increase the amount of sharpening applied. In
most cases, you can leave the Amount set to the default option, Standard.

“Names|Maria”) in the metadata fields.
