calshot Posted June 25, 2010 Share #1 Posted June 25, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) I need help. How do I size an image in Lightroom 3 so that I can upload to this site.I know that the image needs to be about 950 x 600 size. I used to use Photoshop CS2 and save for the web. But surley I must be able to do this in Lightroom. All help would be wonderful. Rob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andybarton Posted June 25, 2010 Share #2 Posted June 25, 2010 Use the Export function and set the image size, colour space and file size parameters appropriately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calshot Posted June 25, 2010 Author Share #3 Posted June 25, 2010 Thanks Andy. Can you advise the image size for this forum I looked but could not find it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted June 25, 2010 Share #4 Posted June 25, 2010 Max length 960pixels. (If it's a portrait shot, keep it to around 800 to prevent the need for lots of people to scroll) Max file size is <290kb Use sRGB, so that non colour complaint browsers (such as the Microsoft one) can display the colours on the screen properly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cocker Posted June 25, 2010 Share #6 Posted June 25, 2010 This post got me thinking. I've used the Dr Brown plug-in in Photoshop to resize for the forum but since I've got CS5 I've noticed a deterioration of quality in my posted picture (mainly sharpness). I've just tried Andy's suggestion of using Lightroom so would like to see how the forum software handles the results to compare. First is Dr Brown's plug-in, second Lightroom export Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

microview Posted June 28, 2010 Share #8 Posted June 28, 2010 Hmm! Not sure there's any difference! Maybe its my eyesight that's the problem!!!:mad: LR one looks fractionally more vibrant on the web page, but dragged on to pasteboard and opened full screen size in CS3 they are indistinguishable.
