Lightroom exporting options??

I am having a terrible time trying to understand the exporting options in lightroom 5. I have read everything google could deliver me and I find myself still lost.
I want to export photos and sharpen them on export. I want to export them into specific folders specified by size; a 4x6 folder, 5x7 folder or even a 24x36 folder.
I am lost when it comes to the difference between "Width and Height" or "Dimensions" What is the difference between the two?
I am able to type 4x6 intp the boxes on either, but I am not sure which option is better to use, or if they will give me difference results??
Ive read dimensions doesnt always resize to the dimensions you tell it, but it resizes "close" to those dimensions you selected... That doesnt make sense to me? why not??
should I always just export by way of "width and height" to make things easy? please un confuse me?? Are there pros and cons exporting one way or the other?
Thank You very much!!!!

@dj paige
I don't know how to test from home; when i export by both ways and go to print the standard print module in windows simply prints full page, 4x6 or exactly to the specs of its templates.
i guess it does state that they both will maintain the aspect ratio.
Is whats happening is dimensions will simply automatically rotate between landscape and portrait for me?
both these sites state that dimensions will not resize to exact dimensions. I suppose this is whats really confusing to me as to when, why, and how this happens. If that is not the case it makes sense that i should always use dimensions for export as it will always rotate orientation for me and will always print to my desired size...????

  • Can't see Lightroom exports in Photoshop

    Hi, I'm having some problems seeing exports from Lightroom 5 in Photoshop CS6 on Mavericks. (I just upgraded to the 5.3 RC and 8.3 RC from the latest normal versions and nothing's changed). I'm temporarily using Bridge as a workaround, but it's a little cumbersome.
    The only red flag I can see is that the export options dialogue (original / copy with lightroom adjustments etc) doesn't appear except when I use the export to bridge option. I've tried reinstalling before and that didn't help. Has anyone else ran into this issue and solved it?
    Edit: I'm using "Edit as smart object" which almost seems better, but it gives me the error message below when I try to close the document:

    Hi,
    I think you have to deselect something ! - " a tool is open"
    close all tools and then try again and save as jpeg.

  • 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?

  • Lightroom Export  Presets Missing!

    I have tried the restore presets under preferences and doing a repair as an installation option but neither restored Lightrooms presets. I am using V2.6.  Any ideas on how I get the Lightroom export presets?

    I assume that "OP" is slang for "other person."
    I am experiencing two problems:
    1.  Firstly I am missing presets
      a.  By presets I mean
                    a. keyword presets,
                    b. filter presets, and
                    c. custom develop presets.
      b.  "Just missing presets"  constitutes a great deal of effort for me, and it should be for you, since it's an issue that has been raised since to LR 2 and has been raise in CS4 as well.
    2.  I've also lost all my watermarks and am unable to recreate watermarks that actually appear on export files.
    For the record I am using LR 3.2 64 bit beta with Windows 7 64 bit
    I've been using them for months.
    This problem occured yesterday for the first time.
    I have backedup, as recommended by LR, several times.
    Restores have not helped.
    There have not been any recent system updates.
    The only plug-in I use is the export to zenfolio.
    The watermark problem is not related to the zenfolio plug-in, I have the same issue exporting to hard disk without the plug-in.
    The watermark editor does not show the choosen graphic as it last time I checkede (several days ago.)
    I don't understand why keysets are not part of the backup...
    Are they not part of the catelog?
    Feel free to ask me all the questions you want, but please help me resolve this issue.

  • Problems in Limiting Export option in Web Analysis shortcut menu options

    Hi everyone,
    i'm trying to limit the shortcut menù option in Web Analysis studio following the instructions in the WA 9.3.1 user guide: "Limiting Web Analysis Studio Shortcut Menu Options" page 293. Exactly i would hyde the Export to some users (an user with Viewer and Expoler permissions).
    The problem is that the solution does not work.
    Resuming:
    First, I have created the WAMenu.xml file, with restrictions for the roles: Viewer and Explorer (using the same tags of the Sample XML File in the guide)
    Second, I have modified the WebAnalysis.properties file removing the # ahead this two lines:
    "WAStudioMenuControl= C:/Hyperion/Analyzer/conf/WAMenu.xml
    ModuleName=WebAnalysisStudio"
    and modified the path with the correct location of the XML file.
    At last, i have restart the services regarding Workspace and Web Analysis.
    But, it does not work. The user can still see the export options in the shortcut menu..I don't understand what is wrong..
    I really hope that someone can help me!!

    Hi Iain,
    thanks for answering.
    Unfortunately it doesn't restrict neither in the workspace nor in the WA studio.
    I made a lot of attempts, not only with export but also with other option, and there are no changes!!
    Do you remember if you made the same steps descripted above, or there is something that i did not make (or made wrong)??
    Cheers,
    Angelo

  • IR export options and embedded HTML

    Good day,
    Apex 3.2.1.00.12, 9.2.0.8 DB, on AIX 5.3.
    I have an IR where in I use html in the SQL that defines it to format certain columns such as the below
    "<div style=""overflow:auto;height:50px;"">column value here</div>"I then define the display type as ' Standard Report Column '.
    That obviously allows me to have some "formatting" power that the IR does not give by default.
    Problem is when I do the export to a CSV I get the html markup included as the value of the column.
    Is there a way I can keep my formatting desires and export without the html included in the value ?
    Also, can I export the whole result set to CSV, not just whatever I have pagination set to ?
    I do NOT have a print server.
    Thanks for your time,
    CLG

    What export option you used.
    I am using default export option and it exports all the records on report. Not current page.
    Furthermore for your requirment I ahve done lot of test regaring same thing. But I didnt find any solution. So what I did was create my own export function for those reports and then use that.
    Thanks
    * If this answer is helpfull or correct then please mark it and grant the points.

  • Export options in Voyager

    I created Voyager documents for my cubes. The tool is great in terms of its ability to report data from the multiple measures and dimensions. When it comes to Export options - The export to excel is pretty clean, but it doesn't carry the formatting to the exported file. This feature is something that our users really felt was missing. Can this feature be released as a patch or part of a service pack release? Also, the export doesn't carry the title of the report to excel or PDF (print to PDF - Data).
    Thanks in Advance!!
    Harish

    To confirm:  Column formatting like display -> Name:Caption ..  .. is not being exported to excel
    please refer to Note # 1345585
    this behaviour will be enhanced in XI3.0 Sp3 - due end 2009.

    Hi,
    Thank you for this article.
    I am using the localreport ReportViewer 2010 and other code examples weren't working.
    Apparently, the m_isVisible field was not available in earlier version of ReportViewer
                        info = extension.GetType().GetField("m_isVisible", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic);                    info.SetValue(extension, false);
    Code that wasn't working:
                FieldInfo info = extension.GetType().GetField("m_serverExtension",            BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);            if (info != null)            {                object actualExtension = info.GetValue(extension);                if (actualExtension != null)                {                    PropertyInfo propInfo = actualExtension.GetType().GetProperty("Visible");                    if (propInfo != null && propInfo.CanWrite)                    {                        propInfo.SetValue(actualExtension, false, null);                    }                }            }
    Thanks again, chupaul :)

  • Convert pdf to word doc-but don't have the export option.

    I want to convert a pdf (that I got from an email) into a Word doc so I can edit it the way I want to. However, for some reason now I don't have the 'Export' option in my File drop down list.
    Funny thing is, I've converted the document once already and have entirely forgotten how I did it obviously!
    I've made so many changes in my first conversion I want to start over.
    why don't I have the 'Export' option? Or ... when I do a 'save as' and chose 'word doc' it only does a copy - paste type save - where I can't make any changes. It's like it puts it into a text box or something.
    I have MSWord 2010.

    This usually happens when you're dealing with a very poor quality scanned document that doesn't have enough data for the Acrobat OCR engine to actually process.
    As for Acrobat 6.0 Pro, I don't believe the Save as Word function was introduced until version 8.0, but it's been a few years and the memory of Acrobat 6 has faded a bit.

    Hi changilainen2,
    Yes, we are following Adobe Forum!!!
    Thanks for your inputs. Actually while implementing this feature we were bit confused if it is of more importance to have these options in the Object Styles. That's why you are finding it missing from there.
    But feedback from you and some other folks, made us realize that we should have it in object styles too.
    Thanks we'll try incorporating this in the feature.
