Specify export file settings
You can export your photos as JPEG, PSD, TIFF, or DNG. The Digital Negative (DNG) format saves your camera raw
files in an archival form.
❖
Choose JPEG, PSD, TIFF, DNG, or Original from the Format pop-up menu in the File Settings area of the Export
dialog box. Then, specify the appropriate File Settings options.
Note:
If you choose Original, Lightroom does not alter the original image data, and no File Settings options are available.
JPEG export options
Quality
Specifies the amount of compression. JPEG uses lossy compression, discarding data to make a file smaller.
Drag the Quality slider or enter a value between 0 and 100 in the Quality box.
Color Space
Converts the photos to sRGB, AdobeRGB, or ProPhoto RGB color space and tags the photos with the
color profile. Choose Other to select a custom color profile.
PSD export options
Color Space
Converts the photos to sRGB, AdobeRGB, or ProPhoto RGB color space and tags the photos with the
color profile. Choose Other to select a custom color profile.
Bit Depth
Saves the image with a bit depth of 8 or 16 bits per channel.
TIFF export options
Compression
Specifies ZIP compression, LZW compression, or no compression. ZIP and LZW are both lossless
compression methods that reduce file size without discarding image data. They are most effective for images that
contain large areas of single color.
Note:
LZW compression is not available if Bit Depth is set to 16 bits/component.
