51. Adobe Lightroom Beta 3 - Additional resolution control when exporting photos

Article 51 of 100

Adobe Lightroom now has additional export resolution tools available. Resolutions and Constrain Sizes are open ended but I would reccomend using common sense when applying resolution changes (especially in the up-res direction), it may look real flashy in the movies and on TV but you can't really squeeze something out of a photographic image that wasn't there in the first place.

File formats supported are JPEG, PSD and TIFF.

Color Spaces supported are sRGB, Adobe RGB (1998) and ProPhoto RGB.

The same image reduced in Photoshop instead - resized, unsharp mask, saved to Web JPEG 60. (92 KB)

Your results may vary but for the moment my tests tell me to stick with Photoshop CS for producing jpeg images for web use. There are of course a great many variables to play with and Adobe Lightroom is still in Beta but (like I say, for the moment) I would double check every proceedure with a tried and true alternative.


P.S. Please do not get upset if your personal experience and views are different from my own. These opinions are mine exclusively and do not reflect the views or policies of any of the manufacturers mentioned in these articles ...... George Mann
