Save web settings as an output creation
Lightroom lets you create output creations, which are collections based on settings you specify in the Slideshow, Print,
and Web modules. With an output creation, it is easy to return to your output settings for a specific collection of
photos. In addition, you can add new photos to the collection, and they automatically include the output settings. An
output creation differs from a custom template in that a template includes the output options, but no photos. An
output creation, however, applies the output settings to the photos in the collection.
