reduction, advanced sharpening routines, etc.;

during post-processing will also be automatically shown on the i les in the catalog.
How to add your own Export Actions

the At er Export menu. Any item that can be executed by opening a photo (or batch
of photos) can be added as an Export Action.
How to do it: from the popup menu, select “Go to Export Actions Folder Now”.
h is will take you to the Export Actions folder within the Lightroom presets folder
on your computer. (h e Lightroom presets folder contains subfolders for all the
methods for extending Lightroom.) Place your droplets or shortcuts in the Export
Actions folder and they will be added to the At er Export menu. In some cases you'll
need to restart Lightroom to see the new actions listed.
