After exporting my pictures from lightroom 3 and take them to photo lab to print pictures are never right size. example 4x6 chops off some of pictures. Help

How can I fix when exporting my pictures and never are right size when take to photo lab

You need to crop them before you export them and take them to a print shop.
4x6 is a standard 3/2 ratio, 2 x 3 = 6 and 2 x 2 = 4. 90% of cameras on the market use that ratio as a sensor size. There are also 4/3, 16/9 and 1/1 ratio cameras. Which camera do you use, make and model?
More than likely the camera you are using is either a 4/3 or you have it set to take image in either the 4/3 or 16/9 ratio. If you ask the photo lab to print them as they are, No Cropping, you will get the whole image with a larger white boarder either on the top/bottom or sides.
You can crop them to a specific ratio in LR so they fit better on 4x6 paper and contain the image parts you most like.
It really has nothing to do with exporting and or exporting setting. It does have to do with the size, ratio, of the image you are exporting and taking to the print place.

    I just bought lightroom 5. I had lightroom 3. Now when I export my photos from lightroom 5 and upload them into my photoshop elements program to edit the photo files are at 100% zoom percentage. When I upload photos from my old lightroom 3 program they come into photoshop at 14% zoom percentage which is what I want them to come in at so I can zoom them in to detail the skin. What might have changed settings wise between the 2 programs, I cannot figure it out.

  • How can I export the very cool Lightroom Map and link to the photos which show on the map?

    How can I export the very cool Lightroom Map and link to the photos which show on the map?
    I love the way Lightroom imported my .gpx files, automatically geocoded the photos, and show where I took them on the map.
    Would love to export this lovely map and the photos which have been geocoded to the map.
    Anyone know how to export this as an HTML file I can import into my web site.
    I'm a Realtor in Berkeley, and integration of the elegant map and the photos.  It would be perfect way to show my clients where the homes are, and what they look like.

    You probably didn't get an answer because none exists within Lightroom.
    You can perform a screen caputre of the Lightroom map, and use the resulting JPG/GIF of your screen, however there is no way to hyperlink the point on the map to your photos.
    You might want to consider a non-Lightroom solution, such as uploading the photos to an Album on Flickr (or one of many other photo sharing web sites) and using the mapping capabilites there, which would be hyperlinked to your photos, see example below. You can use Lightroom to geotag the photos and then use Lightroom to upload to Flickr (or other web site) and then use the web site to create and display the map

  • TS4036 i restored from my iCloud and now all my photos in my camera roll are all fuzzy and are an unrecognized file type. does anyone know what to do about this?

    i restored from my icloud and now all my photos are blurry and my movies appear to be gone..
    can anyone help with this problem please
    it has loads of shots and video from my wedding and honeymoon
    thank you

    Don't spend a lot of time trying to change it. It's an iCloud problem that's happened before, and when it happened in August it went back to the correct colors in a few days. Just be careful when you add new items to the calendar to use the right calendar (even if the color is wrong), otherwise you'll have things out of synch when the correct colors come back.

  • After exporting an image from Lightroom CC to PS CC and back to LR CC

  • I am on Lightroom 4 and using a Epson photo stylus R300 printer and cannot seem to put Hahnemuehle paper profiles on to it, anyone know how?

    Anyone know how to put paper profiles onto a Epson R3000 printer via Lightroom 4?

    Installation using Mac OS:
    1. Double-click on the downloaded Zip-file. The ICC profile will be extracted in the same folder automatically.
    2. Now move the extracted ICC profile to the proper folder listed below.
    Mac OS 8-9x - System Folder > Color Sync Folder
    Mac OS X - HD > User > Library > ColorSync > Profiles
    Note: Please restart your graphics application (eg photoshop) if it was open during the profile installation.

  • Major problem: I can not export NEF files from Lightroom

    This is just plain weird: I can't export NEF files from Lightroom 2. I can export any other file format, but not NEF. With Lightroom 1 this was no problem.
    It makes no difference whether I choose the export command with my mouse, via the menu or with a key stroke - nothing happens.
    Lightroom version 2.0
    Camera Raw version 4.5.0.175
    Camera Nikon D3
    Photoshop CS3 version 10.0.1
    MacOsX version 10.5.4
    I've called Adobe, and they simply don't know. I have reinstalled Lightroom 2 with no succes. Restarting, repairing permissions, nothing helps.
    Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
    Marsel

    Marsel, your language is confusing, First, you cannot 'export' NEFs to PS. You can send a copy there from within LR as a tif or psd.
    Exporting per se takes place through the Library module under the Export function. When Nef's are exported by choosing 'original' in the export dialogue, the file is the 'original' NEF accompanied by an XMP. That Nef, if opened directly in PS from your file system should appear in the Camera Raw window, where you can make whatever new edits on it you want or change the original adjustments you made in LR. Then, once you open that file in PS from the Camera Raw window, any further work you do will be pixel editing. That work can then be saved in a number of formats, but not as a NEF.
    Transferring files to PS from LR for editing is another matter. That sends a copy of the original NEF, including LR adjustments to PS as either a Tiff or a PSD (your choice via the dropdown). After you have edited that Tiff or PSD in PS and hit save, it will send a copy back to LR as a Tiff or PSD, which will appear next to the original nef.
    These procedures work perfectly on both my windows 32 and 64 bit machines with LR2 and 2.1. with all my NEFs from several camera models.
    When you say 'export' do you really mean sending a copy to PS or do you mean 'Export' as LR defines that term?

  • Is it possible to export brush presets from Lightroom 4?

    Hello all,
    Is it possible to export brush presets from Lightroom 4?  I created custom brush presets on my laptop and I would like to export them and import them onto my desktop if at all possible.  Did a bit of research online and could only find this link which only applies to 'Presets' in general, http://help.adobe.com/en_US/lightroom/using/WS2A36C507-E076-4b14-AAC3-87852595D175.html.  Please let me know if this is possible or not as this would be a great time saver.
    Thank you!
    -photorobot2010

    Brush Presets are stored in the "Local Adjustment Presets" sub-folder within the Lightroom settings folder structure. The location of the latter varies by Operating System, or if you have "Store Presets with Catalog" checked in your Lightroom Preferences (Presets Tab)....easiest way to locate them is go to that Presets Tab on the Preferences dialog and click on "Show Lightroom Presets Folder"....that will open a Finder/Explorter window with the Lightroom folder showing. Open that folder, find the Local Adjustment Presets sub-folder and copy the brush preset .lrtemplate files to your desktop. Repeat the process on the desktop to locate the Local Adjustment Presets sub-folder, then simply copy the brush presets into it. They should then show up in Lightroom on the desktop (you may need to restart Lightroom first).

  • Hello i need a help about script to export translatable text strings from ai files and import them back

    Hello i need a help about script to export translatable text strings from ai files and import them back after editing, thanks in advance

    Lanny -
    Thank you for taking the time to help with this problem. Can I just say however that as someone who has posted a first comment here and quite clearly never used a forum like this before, your comment unfortunately comes across as very excluding. It makes me feel there are a set of unwritten rules that I should know, and that I don't know them shows that the forum is not for me. In short, it's exactly the kind of response that stops people like me using forums like this.
    I'm sure it's not intended to be received like this and I am sure that the way you have responded is quite normal in the rules of a forum like this. However, it is not normal for those of us who aren't familiar with forums and who only encounter them when they have a genuine problem. This is why I hope it is helpful to respond in full.
    The reason I posted here is as follows. I was directed here by the apple support website. The original comment seemed to be the only one I could find which referred to my issue. As there is no obvious guidance on how to post on a forum like this it seemed perfectly reasonable to try and join in a conversation which might solve more than one problem at once.
    Bee's reply however is both helpful and warm. This could in fact be a template for how new members should be welcomed and inducted into the rules of the forum in a friendly and inclusive way. Thank you very much indeed Bee!

  • After exporting a video from imovie, to quicktime, the audio has been duplicated. How can I fix this?

    after exporting a video from imovie, to quicktime, the audio has been duplicated. How can I fix this?

    iMovie works best with uncompressed audio. If your track is MP3 or AAC, you may get better results by converting your track to the AIFF format and then using that in iMovie.
    You can do this in iTunes. Go to iTunes/Preferences and click the General button. On the General page, click the Import Settings button. Choose IMPORT USING: AIFF ENCODER.
    (note: remember what you changed it from so you can change it back later, before you import another CD)
    Now, in iTunes, select your track. Then click FILE/CREATE NEW VERSION/AIFF VERSION.

  • I want to move pictures from my mac to iCloud. Then I want to erase those pictures from my mac and leave them only in iCloud.. Can I do it?

    I want to move pictures from my mac to iCloud.com, then I want to erase those pictures from my mac and leave them only in iCloud.. Can I do it?? It looks like it's not possible because if I erase the picture from my mac, then they'll be erased automatically in my iCloud account too!!

    If you are using iCloud Photo Library and delete them from any device they will be deleted from iCloud and from all devices using iCloud Photo Library. If you want to reduce the storage space required on your Mac the following quote from iCloud Photo Library FAQ - Apple Support may help:
    Can I use iCloud Photo Library to save space on my device?
    iCloud Photo Library automatically keeps all your photos and videos in the original, high-resolution version. Follow these steps to choose how you store your photos and videos on your device:
    In iOS, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera, then select a storage setting.
    In OS X, click Photos > Preferences > iCloud, then select a storage setting.
    If you turn on Optimize [device] Storage, iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on your device, so you can make the most of your device's storage and access more photos than ever. All of your original, full-resolution photos and videos are stored in iCloud while device-size versions are kept on your device. You can download the original photos and videos over Wi-Fi or cellular when you need them.
    If you turn on Download Originals, iCloud Photo Library will keep your original, full-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and on your device. Download Originals is the default setting for iOS devices with the free 5 GB storage plan and for all Mac devices.
