Step Seven:
Under File Settings, you choose which
file format to save your photos in from
the Format pop-up menu (since we chose
the Burn Full-Sized JPEGs preset, JPEG is
already chosen here, but you could choose
TIFF, PSD, DNG, or if you have RAW files,
you could choose Original to export the
original RAW photo). Since we're saving
as a JPEG, there's a Quality slider (the
higher the quality, the larger the file size),
and I generally choose a Quality setting
of 80, which I think gives a good balance
between quality and file size. If I'm sending
these files to someone without Photoshop,
I choose sRGB as my color space. If you
chose a PSD, TIFF, or DNG format, their
options will appear (you get to choose
things like the color space, bit depth, and
compression settings).
Step Eight:
By default, Lightroom assumes that you
want to export your photos at their full
size. If you want to make them smaller, in
the Image Sizing section, turn on the Resize
to Fit checkbox, then type in the Width,
Height, and Resolution you want. Or you
can choose to resize by pixel dimensions,
the long edge of your image, the short
edge of your image, or the number of
megapixels in your image from the top
pop-up menu.
You can skip the Image Sizing section altogether, unless you need to make the image
you're saving smaller than its original size
