Tip Tuesday: Share a RAW Image, Preserving Your Edits

In the Library module, click on your RAW image, then under Metadata, choose Save Meta­data to File (or just press Command-S [PC: Ctrl-S]). This saves an XMP file (called a “sidecar”), along with your exported original RAW file (as seen in the inset above), and this XMP file contains all the edits you made to this image in Lightroom. If you were to give these two files to someone else and they opened this RAW image in their copy of Lightroom (or in an application that supports XMP data, like Adobe Bridge or Photoshop, for example), that RAW image...

Tip Tuesday: Printing Multiples of the Same Image Per Page in Lightroom’s Print Module

There are a couple of different ways, but we’ll start with probably the most-used method, which is choosing how many rows/columns of images you want on your page. In the Page Grid section of the Layout panel (in the right side Panels area), if you choose 1 for Rows and 1 for Columns, you get one image (makes sense, right?). If you want more than one image per page, you just increase either the number of rows or columns. For example, if you drag the Rows slider to 3, you will now have a page with three images stacked...

A pop-down menu will appear and you’ll want to tap on ‘Export Original’ and the RAW image will be saved to your camera roll. Easy as that.   This...

In the File Settings section of the Export dialog (Command-Shift-E [PC: Ctrl-Shift-E]), you get to choose your file type (JPEG, TIFF, and so on), but it’s making the right Color Space choice that determines if the colors of your image look pretty much like you see here in Lightroom, or whether they’ll be pretty much messed up. I’ll make it simple: choose sRGB for posting images to the web. They’ll look the closest by far to what you’re seeing onscreen in Lightroom. This tip originally published in How Do I Do That In Lightroom Classic? 2nd Edition by Scott...

Go under the Filter menu, under Sharpen, and choose Smart Sharpen. As the name implies, this is a smarter way to sharpen your image (with new math that’s much more advanced than the Unsharp Mask filter, which believe it or not, was in Photoshop version 1.0). The Smart Sharpen filter lets you apply more sharpening with less of the “bad stuff” associated with sharpening (like increased noise, halos that appear around the edges of objects, or little specks or artifacts in the sharpened image). Here’s how Adobe recommends you use this filter: First, make sure the Remove pop-up menu...
