Export photos to Lightroom 4?

For iPhoto 11 what will I sacrifice in Lightroom 4 if I continue in iPhoto 11 and "edit photos in another application" vs. abandoning iPhoto in favor of Lightroom? If leaving iPhoto, what is the best way to get several hundred photos from my iPhoto Library into Lightroom?

Not really
You can not use Lightrroom to edit photos in iPhoto - it is a photo manager like iPhoto and not an editor like PhotoShop
Yes it can edit photos but it is not a photo editor and you can not use it as an extrnal editor with iPhoto - it is a photo manager that imports, edits and manages photos totally differently than iPhoto -- you have to use one or the other - you can not use LR and iPhoto together on teh same photos

I updated my computer to 10.10.1 and now my photoshop isn't in my applications folder anymore. Even when I try to export photos from Lightroom, PS isn't even an option anymore. Not sure where it went or how to get it back! Thanks!

Using 6-7 year old software that's no longer receiving updates & was never designed to run on 10.10 is asking for trouble. That said, try re-installing PS and installing Java SE6
Java for OS X 2014-001
It might work. But again it might not.
Good luck!

Exporting Photos from Lightroom 3 vs. Saving JPEGs from Photoshop IMAGE QUALITY

Hi all,
I'm not quite understanding why if I export a photo from Lightroom 3, the thumbnail looks great in Finder (if you max out display size) but when I edit the same photo from Photoshop and save it, the thumbnail image is blurry. Opening images comes out the same. I'm just being nitpicky, it's kind of annoying. Can anyone explain the difference? Thanks!

Exported photos from Lightroom 4 to my Iphoto are not the edited.

Hi !
I',m in real trouble here. I've just edited my recent vacation photos to Lightroom and exported to my computer. Looking at the pictures i've noticed that are the original, not the edited versions. Decided to do it all again, but took the wrong decision of deleting my files in my computer. Started all over again, exported the files but same results, the edited photos were not exported. Any advice of what to do? I'm really desperate. Thanks for any advice.

Normally you copy photos from the camera card to a folder on your hard drive or external hard drive.
If an external drive is not connected to the computer you see ! on the thumbnails.

Exporting photos from Lightroom in their original format

Hi all,
My Lightroom library contains photos from multiple photographers. What I'd like to do is select all of a particular photographer's photos by choosing 'Creator' from the metadata browser and export the selection to a single folder. However, Lightroom's export options force me to chose from JPEG, DNG, TIFF or PSD formats. Most of them are JPEGs already; I don't want to recompress them again (or save them in an uncompressed format, which would be pointless). I just want to make a copy of the files as they exist in the library, without modifying them. Does anyone know if this can be done, and if so, how?
Cheers,
Nick

So far as dragging the file "out of" the Lightroom content area I think you'll find that it works the same way as Bridge (i.e. the sidecar does not travel with the original file). In the Bridge you need to use the Move To or Copy feature if you want the XMP sidecar to travel.
So... In Lightroom, how is it properly done then?
I shoot RAW only, and I have found occasion where I would like to collect a copy of the RAW files to give to someone else for editing. While I might be able to use the Windows Explorer, what am I supposed to do if the images reside in different directories? I can't export them because Lightroom doesn't let me export a RAW copy (in other words, I can't export a CR2 file and end up with a CR2 file outside of Lightroom), and I can't drag and drop them because 1: this doesn't work on Windows, and 2: the sidecars don't copy with the RAW files.
Thanks for the tips and info.

Exporting photos to Lightroom

Why does iphoto 11 (using external editor option) export and open my photos in LIghtroom 4 after I upgraded to LIghtroom 5?

I am still a bit confused as to why iphoto gives you the option to edit in iphoto or use another application for external editing.
iPhoto is a database. It can't work on any image that's not imported to the database. If you want to use an image from iPhoto somewhere else, you have to export it.
Lightroom is a database. It can't work on any image that's not imported to the database. If you want to use an image from LIghtroom somewhere else, you have to export it.
These two apps live at exactly the same point in the workflow. In essence, they do the same job.
Neither application is an editor - in other words, neither application will edit a file. If you work on an image in either app the original file is not touched - it's always preserved - and to get your edited image you have to export it.
The external editor command in iPhoto (and indeed in LR) is designed for use with a app that actually edits the file. Photoshop, Acorn, Pixelmator, Graphic Converter, etc etc are examples of such apps. There's no database. They directly change the file.
So, when you use an external editor wth iPhoto here's what happens:
iPhoto makes a copy of the original and sends it to the editor. The editor edits and saves, and the edited image comes back to iPhoto. So you have the original preserved and the edited version.
If you send the image to another Manager, like LIghtroom, here's what happens: iPhoto makes a copy of the original and sends it to Lightroom. LIghtroom imports it. As you edit in LR the original is preserved and your decisions are recorded in the LR database. (Just like editing a photo in iPhoto). And then... well then there's no way back to iPhoto withou exporting from LR to the FInder and importing the resulting image, which then has no connection to the Original in iPhoto. You now have to copies of the original, one in each app.
So, there is no good way to use LR as an editor with iPhoto (nor, indeed, vice versa).

Exporting photos from Lightroom that are good enough quality for a photography website.

I am doing a website for a photographer client that need to showcase their images in a rotating gallery that will be about 1/2 the page so pretty big. She gave me all the photos in FULL size which meant that they were excellent quality and looked amazing on my computer at home as I have fast internet and they all loaded up in seconds. Only problem, when I tried it on a different internet source that wasn’t as speedy, they took so long to load that the next one would start, hence no images ever being visible. This is not good as not everyone will have as fast internet as me and it’s pointless if no one can see her work.
She then exported them for web, using the normal settings that she usually would, leaving them around 200-600KB which loads up nice and quickly, but the quality just don’t do the photo’s justice AT ALL!
I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions of the setting to use to export them from lightroom so that the quality is still next to perfect, but they are small enough so that they load up in a reasonable time on the web.
Each photo displays for 5 full seconds before alternating.
Thank you in advance and if you have any further suggestions, I would love to hear them.

You need to use export settings similar to this:
Quality setting should be at least 60, but you can sometimes get away with less. (smaller file size)
But if you need to export a lot of images, do them all at 60, and re-export as necessary. If you for instance see blockiness in a clear blue sky, increase quality until it goes away.
Color space must be set to sRGB.
Set the required size in pixels, using Long edge is quite convenient. Whatever you enter in the resolution box doesn't matter - web browser ignore ppi.
Experiment with Screen sharpening to find the setting that works best. Standard usually works OK, but it depends on the sharpness of the original.
Set Metadata to Copyright Only, this keeps file size down.

Do I need to export photos from Lightroom 4 before placing in InDesign CS6?

I'm doing a print photo book layout in InDesign using photos that I am processing in Lightroom 4 & Photoshop CS6. My question is, do I need to "File > Export" the files from Lightroom before placing them into InDesign? Or are the Lightroom final changes I make embedded in the .tif file?

Unless I'm mistaken, even tiffs and jpegs need to be exported if you want changes made in Lightroom to show up in InDesign.
If said rendered image also had Develop edits yes, they would need to be re-rendered. A rendered asset in LR, no.

I am having trouble exporting photos from Lightroom 5

The title says it all. I finish a photo and export and nothing happens!

Just a couple of observations that may not be of any help to you. After you click on the export button, you won't see any activity on the Lightroom interface unless you are exploring several images in which case you will see a progress bar in the upper left-hand corner of the screen. I noticed on your export settings that you have checked the option to add the exported image to the catalog, so it isn't going to automatically show up in Lightroom. You might try right clicking on the folder you are working with and choose to synchronize it and see if that will bring in those newly exported images.

Cannot export photos from Lightroom 5

Keep getting message: Some export operations were not performed, not enough memory. Yet I have 56.7 gb of memory on my hard drive. Should I uninstall Lightroom and reinstall ? Can no longer even export a single photo alone. What to do ?

Try exporting the image as a smaller size (pixel dimentions ex. 800px wide x600px high) and see if you get the same error. Odds are it will work at that resolution. The higher the resolution, the more memory is required to render to that file format.
And I can guarantee you that "not enough memory" refers to RAM and not the hard drive. If you let us know what OS you have (Mac or windows and its version #) someone can tell you how to find out how much Ram is on your system.
Also if this system is a laptop or tablet, the video card can be using up some of the Ram as well.

Exporting photos in LIGHTROOM 2 - Why are they lower resolution?

With the last two exports I've done with Lightroom 2 I have seen a decrease in my resolution compared to my initial RAW files. The resolution decreases pretty dramatically and compared to other exports, I'm not really sure what I've done differently. All I have chosen is the export option with the slider to 100% quality.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Ryan

Several possibilities: You've chosen a different Export Template than before, or you've set the maximum number of pixels to less than full. Or you're viewing the Export in a non color managed app. [Are you judging by pixel size or by looks on the monitor or what?]

Transferring photos from Lightroom 5 to Adobe Photoshop Elements 12

I have over 4k photos installed On Lightroom 5. I recently purchased and installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 12. Can you please
advise easiest way to export photos from Lightroom to Photoshop? Am having significant difficulty. Thanks

You can't do it that way. Any attempt to poke around in the iphoto library from outside iphoto is very likely to damage the library and cause you to lose your photos, so PSE won't let you. You have two choices:
1. Set PSE as your external editor, send the photos from iphoto, and save them without changing the name or format (you may need to adjust the editor prefs>Saving Files>On First Save to let you do this). Then iphoto will remember your original and the last edited version.
Be sure to choose this file in Applications>Adobe Photoshop Elements 10>Support files as your external editor, not the one at the top level of the PSE 10 folder in Applications:
2. Export the photos from iphoto, use File>Open in the PSE editor to open the images and then save them with whatever changes to name or format you like, and reimport the saved images to iphoto as new files. This way you can save as many versions as you like.

Exporting photos with text

Is there any way that you can export photos in lightroom 4 with text on them? (i want the same text on all of the photos)

If you have a careful hand you can add text using the adjustment brush. Select the appropriate size you want your lines and move the exposure slider to the left for black text, right for white text. Sync to all the images. Also can be used for adding arrows, etc. Not an elegant solution but mostly workable.
