Export Tiff, jpegs and sharpen using a droplet??

Is it possible to export images as full resolution tiffs and low res jpegs and then have them sharpened using a droplet action? If so what are the steps involved?
Ideally I would love Lightroom to have export functionally similar to Dr. Brown's Image processor 1.5 (1-2-3 Process) used in PS CS2 and Bridge!
Thanks,
Andrew

Please remember that when creating the droplet that you must have a Save command in there somewhere. While using an Action you may not want to have a save in there (you may be using a series of workflow actions for example), but to get output from a Droplet you need to save the file somewhere.
If you want these files to go back into Lightroom, here's a little tip. Turn on Auto import and allow the droplet to save into your Watched Folder. This way when the droplet saves the file, it will get imported into Lightroom. You can then either copy the files or move the folder into the original folder. (Watch for similar file name issues though!)

Process for exporting in FCPX and then using MPEG Streamclip to downgrade?

I have footage shot with a 5Diii, and it is set at 1920x1080, 23.98p.
When I export through FCPX at H.264, it gives me a beautiful master file, but is larger than the 4GB that I need.
What is the process for using MPEG Streamclip to get a smaller file?
Do I export a master file in FCPX first using a different codec, and then use MPEG Streamclip to compress it? If so, what would be the best setting to export from FCPX, and then what would be the best setting to compress at in MPEG streamclip?
My goal is to be as close to 1080HD as possible.

Here is the background story....... I provide movie files on a DVD delivery (files in SD quality) and then also give a copy of the same films on a flash drive so clients can have it in HD quality, and plug the flash drive directly into the TV.
This always worked fine in the past until I ran into a movie file that is 4.7GB, and would not copy onto the flash drive, since flash drives only accept files up to 4GB.
So I tried reformating the flashdrive to exFAT. It allowed me to copy the 4.7GB on the flashdrive, but when I tried plugging it in directly to the TV, the TV did not recognize the drive. (I learned that exFAT is not always compatable with all TVs.)
My other option would be to download an app to let me reformat the drive into NTFS which accepts files bigger than 4GB, and supposedly works better with TVs. I haven't tried this yet because I am worried that downloading that app might mess up my computer. ???????
So....I have come to the conclusion that the only other thing I can do is compress the 4.7GB file to be 4GB (or less) so it will fit on the flash drive which I believe had an original format was MS-DOS FAT.
Are you suggesting instead of exporting the file from FCPX in H264, I should do it in ProRes? The file will be much larger than 4GB, but, then I can compress it, without losing as much of the quality as I would if I compressed an H264 file? Either way it needs to be 4GB or less, so I don't know if that defeats the purpose of using a ProRes file to begin with.
Thank you so much for helping with this!

Grainy export TIFFs in LR3 for use in preview! - LR2 worked fine....

HI all.
I've just ugraded to LR3.2 from 2.7 adnd i'm having troubles exporting my RAW files.
Once edited they look great on the LR screen, but the i export them as full sized TIFFs and then open them up again in Apple Osx 'Preview' and they appear very noisey and griany......a million mies away from how the look in LR.
Any ideas?
I have always used Lightroom and never had this problem in version 2.x, only now having the problem in 3.2. I've even tried editing the same file in LR2 and it works fine there..its LR3.
What am i doing wrong?
its driving me mad as i'm a wedding photographer and need to be able to send files to clients for them to view at home. If i export them as JPEGS, the same thing happens and they only view correctly9JPEGS & TIFFs) if i view them at 'actual size' in preview, which is no good as you cant see the whole photo because its too big....
I'm a photographer so i know all about ISO & noise etc etc and its not that. its something that happening in the export side of things.
I use: Apple Mac, oSX 10.6.4
Please help....i dont want to have to revert back to LR2 as 3.2 is great for everythig else!!!
Thanks!
Ben

Preview is just fine as long as you disable the preference to respect image and screen dpi. The "grainy" images the OP is noting might simply be an artefact of it being busy rescaling the image. I have noticed that with large tiffs, especially uncompressed files, it takes it a while to load the file entirely, rescale and show you the image. In the mean time, it will show a pixelated, low res image. The scaling that preview uses is usually criticised for being too aggressive in smearing everything over and causing the displayed image to be too soft. They changed the scaling to Lanczos in Snow Leopard for this reason, the same as Lightroom uses in the export step. Before it was using a bicubic algorithm I think that was much softer than Lightroom's scaling and because of that actually reduced noise and grain.

Exporting to JPEG and keeping the bleed

How do i export my indesign file with bleed into a jpeg then bring it into photoshop while retaining this bleed?

I'd export to a pdf (with bleeds) and open that in Photoshop.

Any way to export from iPhoto and have the file date be the photo date?

I can't deal with iPhoto any longer. I just imported photos from the last few days and they ended up being associated with some "Event" from Jul 19, 2007. So now I have an event that spans Jul 19, 2007 to Feb 21, 2009!!! I'd like to just display, sort, view all photos in my library by date (I am meticulous about dates on all my devices) but apparently that's not possible anymore. "Events" is the worse thing to ever happen to my photo library...
So I'd like to export them all and just use the Finder. It actually works the way I'd like. However there does not seem to be any way to export the photos so that the file creation or the file modification date is the actual date the photo was taken as shown in the information box in iPhoto. Does anyone know how to to this? Or is this just the iPhoto engineers screwing with people like me who have gotten disgusted with their product?
Thanks!

Yes, I know what the Finder is... The cool thing is it actually does know about the contents of the file. For example it can display thumbnails of the images contained within.
Even better the files can be sorted any way you want, are not hidden in some odd proprietary package, can be backed up, restored at will and can easily be programmatically changed using AppleScript. The file system for an OS is generally bullet-proof and as such doesn't screw with dates like iPhoto did (the events stuff screwed with all our dates and has been a disaster for us and the 40,000 or so pictures we had in our library).
iPhoto has just gotten too modal, too bloated, and too proprietary while not providing the basics like a way for my wife and I to have a single library for all our photos. On the other hand using just the file system and some network storage this is easy.
For the recored most pros I consulted with have moved to the file system and Finder as their primary means of managing their photos. I'm just looking for an easy way to get my stuff out of iPhoto so I can do the same.

Exif tool and Export Jpeg and Tiff files

I run Lightroom 4.4 under Apple OS X10.4.4
When I export files Exif Tool (in Graphic Converter) under ICC header shows for Jpeg "Primary Platform = Microsoft and for = Tiff Apple; and under ICC Profile Color profile for Jpeg = HP but Adobe 1998 for Tiff. I can see that there is a difference between the profile for Jpeg and Tiff (eg sRgb and Adobe1998) but don't follow why the Primary platform differs and shows Microsoft for Jpeg and that the jpeg profile is HP. Can anyone explain, please, and dose it matter anyway? Thanks Clive

A overview of ICC profile tags is here: http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/TagNames/ICC_Profile.html
Why the difference in the PrimaryPlatform tag, I don't know, it does not matter.
The ProfileCopyright tag is HP for sRGB, Kodak for ProPhotoRGB and Adobe for AbobeRGB (1998) of course.

Edits made in ACR don't appear in a saved file, like JPEG, TIFF, etc., and don't show in Photoshop

Hi, I'm new to Photoshop CS5. I've used it for about a week and liked how I could use Camera Raw to do editing like noise reduction and sharpening and then save the images as JPEGs or TIFFs or open them in Photoshop for further editing. I did this a few times and it worked well. Today I edited a bunch of Raw pictures and made them look really great when viewed in ACR. When I save them in any format or open them with Photoshop they don't look like the pictures I edited at all. I use maximum quality, don't compress and so on. When viewed in anything other than Camera Raw there is a lot of noise, and the pictures are not sharp at all. Am I missing something? I spent hours trying to figure out the problem. Went through the process several times. Looked at the preference settings for Camera Raw and looked up how they are supposed to be. In fact I hadn't changed the settings and previously this seemed to have been working fine. Please, help. Sincerely, Wassili

Save the images how? How are you opening them? When you edited the images in Camera Raw, did you click Done? Or Open?
It's kinda tough to understand the workflow of what you are doing...are you viewing the images in Bridge then opening them in Camera Raw?
When you are editing noise and sharpening, are you viewing the images at 100% to evaluate the results?

After editing camera raw and export as jpeg,image becomes overexposed when view on light room..please advise.

need some help here. don't know if i can describe this accurately.
i was using lightroom previously. edit my raw file and then export in jpeg. everything appear normal as what i wanted.
recently i got cs4 and started using bridge. now after i edit my photo in lightroom and export,the view of the jpeg file appears overexpose(exposure was increase) and when view on adobe bridge same problem. but if i open photoshop and use my workspace colour setting everything is ok. when i see my picture on iphoto it is normal as per i have edited. i just don't know what setting i have touch that cause my viewing of edited photo on lightroom and bridge goes overexpose. on bridge,thumbnail ok but preview bad...
for the record: i just install CS4 and snow leopard recently. before this i have no problems with LR. I'm also not sure if i have accidentally change any settings.
i shoot with a 5D mark 2 and use the raw file for edit.
will appreciate any advise. Thanks

Yes
I've edited and exported an image to a different folder on my desktop. I've realised I still need to do some work on it
but when I try and open it again in Lightroom ( I see it in Library) I get a mesaage saying file not found...Please help
We're going to need a lot more details aobut exactly (EXACTLY) the steps you follow after you do the export, because normally I would say this is one of the easiest things possible in Lightroom. Are any files moved or renamed or disks unplugged in between the time of export and the time when you try to edit again?

Lightroom 5 book module trims pixels on JPEG and PDF export

I'm making a 12x12" book and want to export at 250dpi. I'm expecting my pages to be square and exactly 3000x3000 pixles. When I export to JPEG or PDF the pages are not square and JPEGs are 2968 x 3000.
I've seen the same question asked regarding LR4. It appears to not have been fixed or addressed in LR5.
I'm not using Blurb to create books which I understand is the publisher that requires these odd sized pages and why LR exports pages this way. Oddly, there is a special export for Blurb books; I wouldn't think that the generic JPEG and PDF exports should follow the Blurb standard. Idealy, I want my JPEG exports to be two-page spreads at 6000 x 3000 pixels. I can stitch together two pages in Photoshop easily enough, but not if the pages are not the correct size to begin with.
For now, I'll use LR5 to mock up a book and then re-create the whole thing manually in PS, which is really sad and such a waste of time given that LR is so close to being able to export exactly what I want.
Would love to see this fixed in an update soon.

These are both bugs that have been fixed since the LR4 beta. Thanks for bringing them up, though.

Quality loss exporting jpeg and PDF to jpeg

Mac OS X Version 10.6.2/2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon/Snow Leopard
Creative Suite 3
Trying to get an understanding on why the difference in quality when creating a JPEG from InDesign using 2 different methods.
1st Method (best quality—Sharp & Crisp):
InDesign/Export JPEG
Export settings:
Quality: Maximum
Format Method: Baseline
Resolution (ppi): 300
Open in PhotoShop/ Save as JPEG
2nd Method (looks washed out):
InDesign/Export PDF [High Quality Print]
Open PDF and Save As JPEG
I used default settings except changed
Conversion:
Colorspace: RGB
Resolution: 300 pixels
Thank You to all responding!

Just thought i might add that i have encountered this same problem and that if i want a high quality jpeg i save as pdf then, open and re-save as jpeg in photoshop.
I never knew my jpeg's weren't top quality until a customer informed that my jpegs were not of as good quality as jpeg's received off other designers they use.
Unfortunately i have no fix for you, but thought it may be of interest to know its not just you!

Open Jpeg and tiff in ACR as a choice

It would be nice to be able in choosing wether to open jpeg and tiff in ACR using right mouse click menu. AFAIK now you only can set preferences to open these files always in ACR or never.

When I export my photos and save them as a jpeg. Am I still losing information?

When I export my photos and save them as a jpeg. Am I still losing information? Would I be better of saving them as a TIFF or a PSD? Also I know DNG is a digital negative, would that be the better format to save all my stuff?

I apologize if you already thoroughly know all this (I couldn't be sure):
When you export, you don't change the original (i.e. you never overwrite the original). So, you can export a million times and never lose quality (of the original), regardless of the export formats you choose.
Of course the quality of the export depends on the chosen format, and if the format is lossy (e.g. jpeg), then export quality also depends on the size & quality settings.
TIFF is lossless, so quality is essentially equivalent to the raw in Lightroom. It's the preferred format if a really BIG file is OK. Jpeg was invented to reduce file-size as much as possible without being too much inferior, quality-wise - and it does that very well.
DNG is good for some stuff, but don't export your photos in DNG format unless you know what you are doing and why... Lot's of people like converting their originals to DNG format, but that's a whole different kettle of fish...
Note, it may very well make sense to export a jpeg as tiff, since exporting a jpeg as jpeg is not as good. - reminder: when you export, you are not overwriting the original, you are making a new copy from the original, by combining it with develop edits if there have been any.

I have imported my pictures into aperture, how do I export into jpeg files so i can share files with friends who dont use aperture ?

I have imported my pictures into aperture, how do I export into jpeg files so i can share files with friends who dont use aperture ?

If you want the same export settings on some or all of the images you can select all that have the same export requirements and export them as a group.
If all the images have the same requirements then you can select them all and run the export command.

I get poor picture quality when I export my slides from keynote as jpeg and print them as a photo, any help?

I made a slide of multiple pics and objects, I am trying to export it to an 8x10 photo, the shop I am using only allows jpeg. The quality is so poor when I print it, is there a way to get better quality as I export it? I used keynote because I could set up a custom slide size (8x10) and then added the pics and other graphics in hope I could export as a jpeg and get a good quality photo? The photo images and slides are good quality it is the exporting where I am loosing clarity.
Ugh any help?
