Lightroom export as psd or jpg

I am trying to set a good workflow in Lightroom at which I am quite new to. I am using Lightroom and Photoshop together to edit images. My question is - for images going out for print, is it better to choose psd -vs- jpg when sending the image from lightroom to photoshop for post processing? I assume it is and should select psd, send to photoshop (sharpen...) and then convert to jpg before sending out to print as my photo printer recommends. Thanks for your comments and help!!

Yep either psd or tiff when exporting would be my choice for work in PS.
However you could just edit in PS with a psd and then export that from LR as a jpeg, then the jpeg can be deleted and if you need another just export again from LR. It keeps all the files together in LR and you know whch you have edited as they have -edit after the file no.

Adobe Assets: PSD export to image(PNG, JPG) crashes webpage

Firstly it is great that Adobe Assets was released so that it would be possible to view PSD files.
Have a PSD file opened in Adobe Assets on Google Chrome(Linux). I am trying to use the option of exporting the PSD to an image format, but the Actions -> Download -> PNG/JPG crashes the webpage.
Any workaround other than using Adobe Photoshop? I guess I can ask the creator of the PSD to export it.

I set up Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS using the iso image from here Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS (Trusty Tahr). Using either Chrome or Firefox I am able to download both a png and jpg image of a psd file from the private file one-up page.
First steps to try are rebooting the machine, and clearing all cache / cookies from the browser.
Next thing to try is to choose Actions > Download and from the Chrome Dev Tools for the download you should see:
Request Method: GET
Status Code: 200 OK

Exporting PSD to JPG/TIFF generate a distorted black color

Hello,
I use Photoshop CC 2014.1 on OSX Maverick.
When I export a layered PSD to JPG/TIFF I obtain an image with a distorted black color. The image has multiple layers, two of which are the photo I took (with black background) and an added black background.
In Photoshop there is no difference between the 2 background (they have the same black colour), but the result of the exporting is the attached picture.
Could you please help me in solving the problem? How can export the PSD image correctly?
Thanks.
Andrea

Even if I flatten the psd there is the same difference
Then the difference is in the layered psd even if it many not be displayed in the layered state – is it visible at View > 100%?
Could you post a screenshot of the border region taken at View > 100%?
Noise in the photograph may be a factor.
I think you should apply a Layer Mask to the photographic element to make sure the background is uniform (the added black background).

Export Data Sets as jpgs?

Is there a way to export data sets as jpgs instead of psd? The whole point is fast file creation and having a folder full of new psds which I then have to convert to jpg is kinda a silly step. Am I missing something?

I think because of the way variables work (at least the data set part), they need layers
( files that are not flattened) and jpegs don't support layers.

If your intention is saving different variations of your opened
file, you could use layer comps.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/WSfd1234e1c4b69f30ea53e41001031ab64-7870a.h tml
Then use export layer comps to files under the scripts menu.

LR4 - Anyone notice slower export times - RAW to JPG?

I read through the "Lightroom 4 is slow" thread - very good reading. I have noticed many of the same issues & hope Adobe is paying attention to that thread!
No one mentioned a slowdown in exporting RAW files to JPG. My average time for exporting Canon 7D CR2 files to full sized 300dpi JPGs in LR 3 is about 5.3 seconds per file. The same exports in LR 4 are about 8 seconds per file.
I can learn to live with this increased exporting time. I'm curious as to whether anyone else is experiencing this.

Yes. For me, Canon G12 & 40D RAW files are taking twice as long to export under LR4 than under 3.6 - 16 secs vs 8 secs after the same processing. But I am also seeing the same general latency problems identified in other threads here. I've reverted back to 3.6 after trying every possible workaround posted so far - LR4 is unusable for me.

How do I convert psd to jpg on an IMac using PS Elements?
If you are editing a single psd file in the editor, simply choose 'save as' and specify the jpg format in the save dialog.
If you want to batch convert many psd to jpg in the editor, use the 'File/process multiple files' command.
If you are in the organizer, use the export function and select the jpg format in the export dialog.

Lightroom export issue

Hello...
I usually export my photos to jpgs into a subfolder under the original folder where the raws are.
To do this, I choose "Same folder as original photo", "Put in subfolder" and "Add to this catalog".
It always worked fine, but today I discovered that Lightroom is creating two copies of the jpg;
one inside the subfolder, as I want it, and one besides the raw file, in the original folder.
The funny thing is that when I go to see the original folder which contains the raw files from Windows,
the unwanted "copy" is not there. It's just in the catalog.
And, even worse, when I erase one of the two jpgs from Lightroom (no matter which one), the other one is erased too.
I'm using Lightroom 5.6 on Windows 8.1.
Thank you

In the Library menu, do you have "show photos in subfolders" checked? If you do, then those JPEG images in the subfolder will display alongside the raw files.

Lightroom export color profiles not working as expected...

I'm trying to produce an image for a commercial printing service using the colour profile they provide. I get the image looking the way I want in Lightroom and export it to a jpg with the printing service's printer profile. As far as I understand it, this should give me a jpg that they can print to give me something that matches what I see on my monitor.
To test what I'm doing, I brought the jpg up in photoshop, and used the view/proof setup/custom to proof the jpg with the service's colour profile. I thought that doing this would show me the same image in photoshop that I had in Lightroom. That doesn't seem to be the case. The colour balance is about right, but the saturation and densities are out -- the photoshop version show less contrast.
So, is there something wrong, or am I misunderstanding the way color profiles work?
Thanks for any info.
Doug

To use the profile for softproof, that is viewing it on a calibrated monitor in the profile. You can either try the new softproofing plug in, or open the file from LR into PS in whatever you usual working colour space is (I would suggest ProPhoto) do not at this stage attach the profile.. In photoshop go to View, Proof setup, custom. In the Device to Simulate, select the profile, then choose either Perceptual or Saturation in rendering intent. Check black point compensation and bioth Simulate Paper color and Black ink, if these are available (this depends on the profile). You will now be viewing the image as it will be when printed as long as your screen is accurately calibrated. You can also select gamut warning under view and see which colours lay outside the gamut of the profile.
Whe you have finished just save the file. Export from the print module from LR with the profile attached and send to your printer.

Help with exporting gradient background as jpg

Hi there! I'm totally new to this forum & very new to
fireworks, so go easy on me!
I am designing for QVGA smartphone/PPc screens & find
that when I create a gradient in fireworks MX (version 6) &
then export it as a jpg, on the phone/PPC screen the gradient is
filled with big blocks of colour rather than smooth transitions
between them, making the overall effect more like lines or blacks
of colour than a smooth gradient. I am exporting the jpgs at the
highest quality settings (100%).
Can someone help? Is it just my lack of technique when
blending colours? If so is there a tutorial somewhere? Or can I
export in a different format? The screens I design are controlled
by an xml layout file, & will accept .jpg, .gif & .bmp
Thanks!

Yes, as I mentioned earlier in this thread, the bit depth
could be the
issue. Try setting your monitor to 16 bit and experiment with
gradients
at that bit depth. Keep the color range and the tonal range
less extreme
(light blue to dark blue for example, rather than white to
dark blue)
similar an you might be able to get something a little more
pleasing.

How to remove watermarks from images which have been inadvertently applied via the Lightroom Export function? [was: Help!]

Export the photos again, but in the Lightroom Export dialog box, remove the check next to Watermark

Lightroom Export Action and Automator

Hi. Have an interesting anamoly that I hope someone an explain to me. I am trying to leverage Adobe Lightroom's export preset post-processing option to help in importing photos into iPhoto (where I can make easy use of the .mac photocasts). I created an Automator workflow comprised of the following actions: 1) Get Specified Finder items (with the export folder from Lightroom selected) 2) Get Folder Contents 3) Import Photos into iPhoto (with the delete source option selected).
I placed the Automator app, named "Import to iPhoto" into the Lightroom "Export Actions" folder and selected it in the post-processing drop down in my export preset. When exporting from this preset, the file(s) are exported as expected, however, for some reason the Automator action imports duplicate files into iPhoto for each photo exported. If the photos are exported separately without the post-processing export action, and then the Automator action is run manually, there are no duplicate files imported. Does anybody have any ideas what might be occuring here?

Acrobat X Pro - Export multiple PDFs to JPG

In Acrobat 9 Pro I am able to export multiple pdfs to jpg using file--->export multiple.... In Acrobat X I can't seem to find this funtionality. Any ideas?
Thanks.

I tried this script and it did work but I needed to export to PNG rather than JPG. I could not see a way to do that without actual scripting, which I don't know how to do. So I opened the script linked here in Textpad and just changed "jpg" to "png" and it worked - happy day for me!

Export specified pages as jpg at defined resolution

Hello inDesign Community -
I have a script that allows me to export pages specified from a dialog prompt as jpgs at a specific resolution (500px wide).
This is great for making thumbnails, however It uses the dimensions of the active document page to set the resolution formula.
This works unless there are different sized pages, at which point you get different sized jpg.
How can use the page dimensions of each page that is being exported individually.
I assume there is a way to get an array from jpegExportPreferences.pageString that can then be looped through.
Thanks in advance

// run function

Hi,
1. You need to insert myCurrentWidth & Height calculation into function exportJPG() and execute it for each page;
2. This function supposes to be run with each chosen page and different exportPreferences;
3. So you need split a string variable pageToExport into array collecting separate pages.
Like this:
// which pages to export
var pagesToExport;
// final jpg demensions
var myLargeWidth = 500;
var myLargeHeight = 500;
// create a variable for current active document
var docRef = app.activeDocument;
// remove ententions from end of file path
myFilename = docRef.name.replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '');
// set variable to save file in same directory as active document
myFolder = docRef.filePath;
// set document measurments to points and reset ruler orgin
docRef.viewPreferences.horizontalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.points;
docRef.viewPreferences.verticalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.points;
docRef.viewPreferences.rulerOrigin = RulerOrigin.PAGE_ORIGIN;
docRef.zeroPoint = [0,0];
function exportJPG(cPage) {
// export large jpg
//bounds    Array of Measurement Unit (Number or String)    readonly    The bounds of the Page, in the format [y1, x1, y2, x2].
// find width of page
var myCurrentWidth = cPage.bounds[3]-cPage.bounds[1];
// find height of page
var myCurrentHeight = cPage.bounds[2]-cPage.bounds[0];
if (myLargeWidth > 0) {
// Calculate the scale percentage
var myResizePercentage = myLargeWidth/myCurrentWidth;
var myExportRes = myResizePercentage * 72;
// exportResolution is only accurate to 1 decimal place, so round
else {
// Calculate the scale percentage
var myResizePercentage = myLargeHeight/myCurrentHeight;
var myExportRes = myResizePercentage * 72;
// use caluclated percentage as resolution
app.jpegExportPreferences.exportResolution = myExportRes;
app.jpegExportPreferences.pageString = cPage.name;
// export jpg in myfolder add .jpg to end.
docRef.exportFile(ExportFormat.JPG, File(myFolder+"/"+myFilename + "_" + cPage.name + "-500px.jpg"));
// SUI Dialog
myInput ();
// jpg export preferences
app.jpegExportPreferences.exportingSpread= false;
app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegQuality = JPEGOptionsQuality.HIGH;
app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegExportRange = ExportRangeOrAllPages.EXPORT_RANGE;
app.jpegExportPreferences.embedColorProfile = false;
app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegColorSpace= JpegColorSpaceEnum.RGB;
app.jpegExportPreferences.antiAlias = true;
// run function (loop through chosen pages)
var b, c, d, stop;
b = pagesToExport.split(",");
while (c = b.shift() ) {
d = c.split("-");
stop = parseInt(d[0]);

myCommentGroup.add ("statictext", undefined, "export some jpgs", {multiline:true});
//myCommentGroup.maximumSize.width = 200;
var myInputGroup = myWindow.add ("group");

myButtonGroup.add ("button", undefined, "OK");
myButtonGroup.add ("button", undefined, "Cancel");
if (myWindow.show () == 1)
return pagesToExport = myText.text;
else
exit ();
Notice that different page sizes can lead to different width/height proportions.
In this case JPGs will still differ. (by height)

Illustrator CS5 - Export to PSD merges layers that shouldn't be merged!

I've been fiddling with settings and layer orders for a while now, but I still get issues!
Everytime I export a PSD from my Illustrator CS5 file, it wants to merge the last few layers together! If you look at the pics, there is nothing special, or different about the layers that get merged (the last 3 in the layer order on the pics). I've tried even putting a blank layer in between to see if it would just merge that, but then it'll merge the last 3 layers, along with any blank spacers I've put in!
Does anyone have a clue why this might happen?
Thanks all!

I can tell you exactly why it happens - because Adobe is a publicly traded company and so are focused on profits instead of quality. Bug updates don't sell product - new features do. For instance, how basic is it for a program to remember to keep the "Preview" box checked when you do a Blend, or to have a default pen setting (help me if I've missed this one as I'm also new to illustrator). Coming from using a 1999 version of Coreldraw that I bought on a deal for $99, this upgrade to the "industry standard" is disappointing so far.
And I don't necessarily blame the programmers - I'm sure there just doing what they're told. l'll end this rant here.
Here's a workaround for this bug that they may never address because it won't sell product:
>When you first export your file, take note of what layers are being merged.
>Go back in Illustrator and create a dummy layer between each of the those layers. Ex: create a text layer titled "Dummy Layer" and just copy/ move it between the layers that are merging in Photoshop.
>Export file and open in Photoshop. The layers should be separated. Just delete the dummies.
