Step 11:
Start by clicking on the Set Up button next
to Hard Drive in the Publish Services panel.
We'll configure this one so it saves any files
we drag onto it as high-resolution JPEGs
to your hard drive (so think of this as a
drag-and-drop shortcut to make JPEGs,
rather than having to go through the whole
Export dialog). Give this publish service
a name now—call this one “Save as JPEG”
(as shown here)—then fill out the rest just
like you would for exporting a high-res
JPEG to your hard disk (like we did back on
page 268). When you click Save, it replaces
Set Up with the name of your service (in
this case, now it reads: “Hard Drive: Save
as JPEG,” so you know at a glance that it's
going to save images you drag-and-drop
on it to your hard drive as JPEGs). You
can add as many of these as you'd like
by Right-clicking next to Hard Drive and
choosing
Create Another Publish Service
via “Hard Drive.”
That way, you can have
some that export your images as originals,
or some for emailing, or…well…you get the
idea (look at the Publish Services panel here
where I published a few extra setups, just
so you can see what they'd look like).
Step 12:
Now that you've got at least one configured,
let's put it to work. In the Library module,
go ahead and select three RAW files you
want saved as JPEGs (they don't have to be
RAW files—they can already be JPEGs that
you just want exported from Lightroom),
and drag-and-drop those selected photos
onto your Hard Drive: Save as JPEG publish
service. From here, it's pretty much the
same as you just learned with Flickr—the
images appear in a New Photos to Publish
section until you click the Publish button,
then it writes them as JPEGs into whichever
folder you chose when you set this publish
service up (here, one of the three images
being saved as JPEGs is in progress).
