How do I save my image in Lightroom4

I have just downloaded the trial version of lightroom 4 and edited my first image but I cannot see how to save that image.

I would suggest to use the Export function only when you need an image for use outside of Lr, i.e. for e-mail, web, etc.
Some people use the Export function for every image because they think they have to save their edits that way.
That is not necessary. As dj_paige has said already, everything you do in Lr is automatically and instantly saved in the catalog.
The catalog is the database Lr works with, and you should safeguard it just as you safeguard your image files.
Know where your catalog is located (go Edit >Catalog Settings >General tab - it tells you there) and backup your catalog regularly, and preferably on an external hard drive.

    Most Simple Back Up:
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
    Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store
    If you want to back up the Photos only:
    Export them using the File -> Export command.

  • When I try to same an image under the command 'save as' it will only let me save as file types 'firefox document' or 'all files' and when I try to look at them later they dont work. How can I save an image as the same file type it is on the web site?!

    When I try to save an image under the command 'save as' it will only let me save as file types 'firefox document' or 'all files' and when I try to look at them later they dont work. How can I save an image as the same file type it is on the web site?!
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I updated to one of the firefox versions (Not sure which one it was)

    Thanks Alex, but sadly I already tried that. Neither .docx or .xlsx files show up in the content list. They both show as a Chrome HTML document so changing how Firefox addresses those doesn't help since it thinks its the same type of file. I don't think I can manually add files into the "Content Type" left side nav.

    How do I save an image (logo) transparent so that it will appear transparent on any color background such as a gradient or black?
    I save image as "transparent" at File > New... but when I place on a gradient background it keeps appearing white. I'm trying to save transparent to be effective on any color such as a gradient or black.  How do I truly save as transparent?

    Put the logo on its own layer set the layer fill to 0 and add a layer style to the logo layer.  Here I duped one change fill to 0 added style.

  • How can I save an image I have created in Pages as a jpeg?

    How can I save an image I have created in Pages as a jpeg? The image has both a photo and various text boxes. I would like to use it in one of the Photocard websites but they only accept jpeg. Any easy solutions please.

    Hold command shift 4 and draw a box around what you want and then click again, on your desktop a .png file will appear.
    To convert it to jpeg, open it in Preview and Save as.
    if you want all your screenshots to be jpg, download the free Tinkertool and make the change.

  • How can I save my images like a "wedding photographer" does?

    I have a Pixma PRO-100. . . with a Windows 8.1 PC. . . and printing through Adobe Photoshop Elements 11.
    I just printed some wedding pictures of my daughter - which I got from the "wedding photographer"... when I printed them - they were an exact match to what I saw on my screen (which I've calibrated)... and dead on crisp, great quality.
    I'm wondering what a wedding photographer does to their images to make them so "solid" in printing.  How do they save them?
    when I print something from a my files, (Raw, NEF, or JPEG's) - there always seems to be a color or quality problem? Never a match.  It takes several adjustments and print samples before I get what I want. 
    Is the ICC Profile a problem - or How can I save my images like a wedding photog does?  So they print exact?

    " ... (Raw, NEF, or JPEG's) ... "
    I suspect there are some minor differences you are not seeing and/or noticing on screen.  But right off, no real wedding photographer will shoot in anything except RAW.  You should be using RAW, only, too.  The RAW file to start with has way more info in it than any jpeg does.
    Next I would bet your wedding photographer does some tweaking to highlights and shadows, plus s ome other stuff that you are not.  In other words he is getting the photos ready for printing. Remember printing on paper and "printing for on screen" is two different things.

    HOW DO YOU SAVE AN IMAGE AT A HIGHER DPI?

  • How do I save an image using image capture after i scan a document?

    How do I save an image in image capture, after I've scanned a document?

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    The process may differ a bit, depending upon which version of the OS you are using. Open the Image Capture application and click on the Help menu for it.
    In Mac OS X 10.6.8, I get this:
    Control + click on image and choose to "Open Link in New Tab" (or window) in order to see the full-size image.
    According to those instructions, it looks as though the scan should be automatically saved to the folder you've chosen.

  • How can i save some image- profiles in the memory (RAM) of a system?

    How can i save some  image- profiles in the memory (RAM) of a system?
    (and then I want to read out the memory and save the profiles in a HDD, but first it has to write in a memory, because the write-speed is better by the memory )

    There must be an underlying premise for this question that I'm missing... When you run code everything is in memory... Programming 101. Create a variable, set a value to it, and it's in memory. Create a front panel control set a value to it and it's in memory. Data carried by the wires you use to connect your code is in memory. Or are you asking about controlling how that memory is managed - physical vs swap file?

  • How do I save Lightroom image edits in source file?

    My experience with the trial version of lightroom is very positive in terms of the convenient and powerful capabilities for editing images and the associated metadata.  But I can't find a way to save the "develop" edits to images into the source file for the photo I am working with.  So far, I am able to save the metadata into the file but not the image editing.  From what I read, I fear this is not possible without silly round about exporting to new files then copying / moving multiple copies around, etc. Without this ability, I am pretty sure I will not purchase lightroom and will miss out on all the powerful features.  Without an OPTION that turns on the equivalent of a SAVE button, managing my photos collection would be a nightmare. 
    So my question is: How do I save the edited (i.e., developed) version of a photo back into the same file where the original photo was stored?
    Please, please spare me all the reponses telling me how stupid I am for wanting to do this and that the cognisenti and professionals would NEVER do this.    But please just tell me there is a secret place to turn on this option in lightroom.
    Thanks in advance.

    I had the same requirement to save in JPEGs files all non-metadata edits performed in Lightroom, in order to share modified pictures without duplicating files. By the way, I think it’s going to be more and more required by casual Lightroom users, as people get used to instant photo sharing in many situations where quantity matters more than quality
    Here’s a nearly automatic (at least, scalable) solution that works, although it slightly lowers the quality by re-compressing the original pictures.
    Once for all:
    Download and install the wonderful Lightroom plugin “jf Run Any Command”, provided as donationware by Jeffrey Friedl here: http://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies/run-any-command. This “export filter” plugin allows you to run a command of your choice with each exported file, as part of the export while it’s going on. (You may also browse Jeffrey’s blog to find many other useful and beautiful things.)
    In Lightroom, pre-define an export settings as follows:
    Export to the hard drive, to the original picture folder, without adding the exported file to the catalog
    Name the exported file “EXPORTED-{Filename}” (or anything different from the original file name)
    JPEG format, 76% quality (see An Analysis of Lightroom JPEG Export Quality Settings at http://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies/jpeg-quality)
    Keep all metadata
    Here’s the interesting part, the Run Any Command settings:
    Command to execute for each exported picture: copy "{FILE}" "{Path}\{LIBRARYFILENAME}" (this replaces the original file with a copy of the exported file)
    Command to execute upon export completion: del {FILES} (this deletes all exported files).
    NB: One could wonder why not directly export with the original file name and silently replace the original files (I believe Lightroom would allow this). It’s just a matter of error handling: in case the export goes wrong, no original file is changed at all.
    The easy part: each time you want to save edits:
    In Lightroom, select the pictures to save, and export them with the pre-defined settings. You're almost done. The JPEG files are ok, but inside Lightroom you see the modification effects doubled, as their specifications remain in the catalog database and they apply on modified JPEG instead of the original files.
    While the entire set of "saved" pictures is still selected, in the Develop module switch Autosync on and click Reinit to erase all modification specifications from the catalog for all pictures, then press CTRL-S to write down to disk any metadata updated by Lightroom -and accept if required to confirm that Lightroom values should replace externally set values.

  • How do I save an image in a BufferedImage as a lossy JPEG2000 image?

    New to Java! OK, I know how to save it as lossless. What I have so far is:
    Iterator writers = ImageIO.getImageWritersByFormatName("JPEG2000");
    ImageWriter writer = (ImageWriter)writers.next();
    J2KImageWriteParam J2KWriteParam = new J2KImageWriteParam();
    J2KWriteParam.setFilter("FILTER_97");
    J2KWriteParam.setEncodingRate(0.9); // ??
    J2KWriteParam.setCompressionMode(ImageWriteParam.MODE_EXPLICIT); // ?
    What do I do next to save the image? I don't understand how to apply J2KImageWriteParam. My images are all 16 bit gray scale and I want to apply just a little compression.
    Thanks

    Open the movie with Quicktime Player 7 and go to the File ➙ Export menu.  There select Export ➙ Movie to Picture  and Use ➙ either jpeg or png.
    I'm sure you can do it in iMovie but I don't use the latest version of iMovie so can't help there.
