I am totally unable to email images images from lightroom classic. Do you know if the recent upgrades in lightroom classic has changed the export process from lightroom classic.

You always have the best videos for stuff like this, well done!

Forest, there are a lot of LrC Export videos out there and it's funny, they all are somewhat similar but still not the same. Your video (out of all the one I mentioned) is the only one that makes any sense. Less confusion is good! I appreciate your efforts. ✌

I do watch KZread, but not like a crazy person. But just wanted to say you've got a really great way of talking/explaining a subject. Will definitely watch some more of your videos. Thanks

Best video about this subject. My photos have never survived as well the instagram compression as after seeing this video.

Great video! It was just what I needed

This was so helpful. Thank you for explaining this in the simplest terms!

I have been told to put 2160 for W on the image sizing area. Yours is 1080. Is 2160 okay?

Thanks for the guide. A bit longer than needed I guess, but you used that time to explain in great detail why to do X or why you did Y that way, rather than showing how great Skillshare is and how the 200 first to sign-up will get a discount. :D

Thank you for this video! Question...I've never cropped the image before exporting so that I keep the image looking like I did after doing all my editing. I then export with a JPG setting of Long edge at 2048px. Thoughts on this?

@forestchaput

11 ай бұрын

That works, it's just relying on Instagram to do the downsizing from 2048px to 1080px. I'd trust Lightroom more than IG to do that properly.

Thanks for this video. I have seen your Ultimate Guide to export also. Both are super helpful. I have a question : I shoot in raw. Exported one file as Jpeg, gave a fancy name to it and sent it to a competition. Now, after few months, they want to see the original raw file. I am unable to decide which was the raw file from which I got this jpeg. Any tips for me to avoid such mistakes in future?

@forestchaput

5 ай бұрын

Great question and glad you found it helpful! I would just export as the same file name as when you imported the image!

Would on the Image Sizing Section Short edge of 1080 for Vertical and Long Edge of 1080 for Horizontal Work aswell?

@DylanRotich

2 жыл бұрын

As long as every image you're exporting is the same orientation you can use that. I exported a bunch of 4 x 5 vertical images yesterday using short edge 1080. If you exported a mixture of both landscape and vertical images the landscape images would be the wrong size. (assuming you're still using short edge 1080. vice versa with long edge 1080)

Thank you so much,11 by 14 is acceptable for horizontal?

@forestchaput

2 жыл бұрын

No sorry, the max horizontal for the Instagram feed is 9:16, so when you upload an 11:14 it will make you crop down to 9 on one end.

So if I don’t want to crop my edited image for Instagram to 1.91:1 or 4:5 because my main objective is to edit it the way I like it to look for a print then what are my choices? Do I make a virtual copy of the original RAW before I start editing so I have 2 versions or can I go back to my very first edit being the crop and change it without undoing all the after crop edits? Struggling with this and needing some advice. TY.

@danlightened

6 ай бұрын

I guess you can do all your edits according to your print requirements and export as usual. Then go back to the develop module, crop it for Instagram and use the settings he suggested to export and that creates a separate file for Instagram.

Excellent, thanx. Now, I am confused about deleting exports. I always export to usb and send to wherever it needs to go from the usb. But do I understand it right that I have to remove the exported copy from LRC or computer? If so, where and how? Thank you for your time. Gratz from The Netherlands.

Exports are always copies of the original images in Lightroom. You can always delete the exports from your USB drive once you've done what you are going to do with them. If you ever need them again, just re-export.

Hello! Just a couple one question for you. What would be the best way to get the photo from my computer to my phone? I know some people lose image quality at this step, and I just want to make sure I don't. Also it's a coincidence I came across this channel because I'm located in SoCal and I'm thinking of going to U of M. Thanks for the detailed vid!

If you're on a Mac and iPhone, I would use AirDrop. If not, I would use something like Google Drive or Dropbox. That's awesome! Missoula is a fantastic place. Our Professional Intensive students are always bummed to return home after spending a year here. Some even decide to move to Missoula.

Is there any reason that , the image gets blurred a little bit after I export from Lightroom compared to the raw image? It’s as if the quality goes down.

@thatboyscotty

Жыл бұрын

JPG compresses the file, so you're losing information, which means you get a lower quality image vs raw.

How could I "fit" fit an image into the 4:5 ratio without cropping? I have run into cropping parts of an image I don't want to.

@forestchaput

Жыл бұрын

The only way to do that is by stretching the image which will make things look distorted. I don't recommend it. In the future, if you have an aspect ratio you need to fit to, shoot your images a bit wider than you need to leave room for cropping.

What about Facebook Ratios ???

Hi Pete! To get them from Lightroom to Instagram, do everything this video says and export them onto your desktop, then you will have to get them somehow onto your mobile device or wherever you post from. I recommend either Google drive or emailing them to yourself and then download them onto that device. Then all you have to do is post! I hope that helps!

Jpg 👎PNG 👍 With heavily processed images, with (for example) super aggressive curves for that matte look, jpg’s can sometimes get banding. Whereas, you can export the exact same image as a png, and then banding is fixed. Whilst Instagram does convert to jpg, on the way in, the png is read at a higher quality. ✌️

@@DylanRotichWhat you’re referring to is compressing the image by resizing it. I still export in the correct dimensions. Jpg VS png is simply referring to the file format (or container). The biggest advantage of PNG over JPG is that the compression is lossless, meaning there is no loss in quality each time it is opened and saved again. (Without going into the full details, it is the way the compression tools read the ‘string’ or ‘code’ in the file’s image data by matching those longer sequences to accompanying short codes already in the data). PNG also handles detailed, high-contrast images well which is what I was originally referring to. So, by converting to JPG first, you’re essentially compressing your image as this process is ‘lossy’. Then, whilst Instagram won’t resize it if you’ve already done so, it still goes through Instagrams compression AI to lower the file size (not the image size) regardless. That is the biggest misconception when people think that Instagram won’t compress a correct size jpg. Simple not true. You can even test it yourself by changing your Insta settings to ‘save a copy’ of the uploaded image (post) to your camera roll. Then, use this saved/downloaded file from Insta, upload it again and repeat the process a couple of times and you watch the image quality become total mush (obviously delete the post each time so you’re not uploading the same image over and over to your feed 🤣). So, in conclusion, a jpg is compressed lossy twice when you upload it to Instagram, whereas a PNG is going in as a lossless file only being compressed once from Instagram when it converts it to jpg. I hope that explains it somewhat.

@@danfarmer_photo I have noticed this on FB. I've seen memes in my memories that I had shared from someone else. If I share it again it's usually degraded a little. I've seen images shared many times to the point that you can barely make out what's in the image. I always thought PNG was for using transparency until someone told me about uploading to social media this way. IG is moving more towards videos and away from pictures. I don't use my IG account to promote my pictures so it's not a major issue with me. A lot of people are going to Twitter to share their images. That's fine if you're building an unknown audience. I mainly share my pictures for friends.

If your video is on how to export from LrC to Instagram, why does you thumbnail indicate that it is from Lr to instagram? This whole naming thing is crazy, but for us viewers it would make thing easier if content creators stuck to the current adobe naming standards.
