Lightroom

Hi All,

 

I joined the adobe pay 10 bucks a month for the rest of your life program. So far it’s ok but have a question . When I increase a pic size 100 percent etc and try to save it at that size it reverts back to original size when saved. Any way around this.

Thanks in advance.

Adobe Creative Cloud subscription includes phone tech support. Try the Adobe 800 number if you feel so inclined.

Never inclined to call but will google it.

When you double-click on a thumbnail image you increase the display size, which defaults to 100%, or pixel = pixel. This has no effect on the actual image size, only how it is displayed.

 

To permanently change the size you must export the image and save it as a new file. The export dialogue allows you to increase or decrease the size by resampling.

Thanks very much guys. I had my export setup at one time but stopped using Lightroom for about 6 months and forgot what tiny bit of knowledge I had gleaned from using it.

Just the exported file gets resized in Lightroom, your original RAW will stay the same. Another method could be done using the edit in external editor, resize in Photoshop and save, go back to lightroom and a second version of thatphoto appears possibly as a Tiff if your options are set right, but it will be the resized dimensions and you can do some more tweaking to the new version of the photo. Again export the photo from Lightroom as a Jpeg when done.
