Last updated 4/20/2015
For E-mail Opens a message to allow you to send the photos to someone using email. See Email photos from
Lightroom .
For E-mail (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.
2 Choose File > Export With Previous.
Create export actions
You can put any item in the Export Actions folder that can be opened with a set of photo files. For example, you can
place an executable file or shortcut (Windows), or application or alias (Mac OS) in the Export Actions folder. Items
added to the folder are listed in the After Export menu of the Export dialog box the next time you export photos.
You can also add Photoshop droplets or script files to the Export Actions folder.
1 Do any of the following to open the Export Actions folder:
• In the Export dialog box, choose After Export > Go To Export Actions Folder Now.
• Windows 7 and 8: Navigate to \Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Export Actions\.
• Mac OS: Navigate to /Users/[user name]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/Export Actions/.
2 Add the item to the Export Actions folder.
Export plug-ins
Lightroom supports plug-ins from third parties that add functionality to the Export dialog box. Depending on what
third-party plug-ins you have installed, different options may be available in the Export dialog box. Check with the
plug-in developer for support or documentation for their software.
Plug-ins located in the following folders are automatically loaded by Lightroom and can be enabled and disabled by the
Plug-In Manager, but not removed:
• Mac OS: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/Modules
• Windows 7 and 8: C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Modules
