The Photoshop Lightroom Workbook 282 Let’s export some  les for our Indian Creek job into a job folder. For our work ow in this job, we are going to create a set of dng  les, a set of small jpg  les for the copyright o ce and four full-size tif  les of our client’s selects from the web gallery that we had already posted for their review. STEPS FOR EXPORT 1. Select all your images in the Library Grid Mode (you don’t have to select them all unless you want to process them all – this all depends on your work ow). 2. Click on the Export button (left of the toolbar). 3. The Export dialog box will pop up. 4. Export Location: We are choosing Export To: Speci c folder. Choose your hard drive where your job folders are located (we have a hard-drive setup dedicated to holding all our job folders) ( Figure 13.22 ). 5. Create a new job folder on that drive by clicking on New folder ( Figure 13.23 ). 6. Name the folder with the  le naming convention for the job. Our job folder name is 20080616_indiancreek_job. 7. After you name the folder, choose Create ( Figure 13.24 ). 8. Then click Choose back in the directory window. You will be brought back to the Export dialog box. 9. Check Put in Subfolder: Give the subfolder the  le naming convention for your job and  le type you are creating. We will create DNGs for our  rst type of  le for this job. Our subfolder is 20080616_indiancreek_dng. For our work ow, we do NOT click on Add to This Catalog or Stack with Original ( Figure 13.25 ).

There should not be any existing  les in this job folder, but we keep this selected as a precaution. 11. File Naming: Under the Template drop-down menu, choose Filename. This preserves the  lename that we already have given to our  les. If you wanted to rename your  les to a Please purchase PDF Split-Merge on www.verypdf.com to remove this watermark. The Photoshop Lightroom Workbook 284 di erent naming convention for your client’s needs, this is where you can do it ( Figure 13.26 ). FIG 13.26 Filename for DNG  les FIG 13.27 DNG Preview Options 12. File Settings: This is where you choose what type of  le you will be exporting. Choose the format, and then you will get di erent options for each type of format. Under Format choose DNG. The DNG options that we choose are: ● JPG Preview: Medium Size ● Image Conversion Method: Preserve Raw Image ● Options: Check Compressed (lossless) ( Figure 13.27 ). 13. Image Sizing: This is where you can upres/downres and resize your  les if needed. Since DNG  les are raw, we cannot check any of these options. We would choose our parameters in this section for any jpg, psd or ti  les. 14. Output Sharpening: Lightroom allows output sharpening for Screen or Print, using algorithms based on Pixel Genius’s Photokit Sharpener. Since we are creating DNGs, there is no output sharpening, but we would use this feature for our processed  les. 15. Metadata: There are three choices under Metadata. You can minimize the embedded Metatdata, (which only includes the copyright) which D-65 does not recommend. We do choose Write Keywords as Lightroom Hierarchy option so that the hierarchial order of the keywords is visible in your processed  les. We do not Add Copyright Watermarks on our  les, but it is a great idea for proofs for wedding photographers. Please purchase PDF Split-Merge on www.verypdf.com to remove this watermark. D-65’s Lightroom Workflow 285 16. Post-Processing: We might or might not do any post-processing from export depending upon the job. Check the advanced Chapter 16 for more information on Post-Processing on Export . 17. Click on Export. Your RAW  les will be converted to DNG and wind up in a DNG subfolder of the job folder in your job folder hard drive ( Figure 13.28 ).

The Photoshop Lightroom Workbook 286 We will repeat the same Export steps for JPGs (or whatever type of  le you may need for the job). EXPORTING JPEGs: The following specs are for jpg  les for the copyright o ce. We send small jpg and not high-resolution  les because there have been cases of theft at the copyright o ce since it is a public place. 1. All the images are selected in the Library Grid Mode. 2. Choose Export. The Export dialog box will pop up. 3. Change the subfolder name to 20080616_indiancreek_jpg. 4. Under File Naming Template, keep Filename. 5. Under File Settings: Format will be JPG. Quality is 80. Color Space sRGB. 6. Under Image Sizing: Check Resize to Fit and drop down to Width and Height. Width is 600 and height is 600 pixels. Resolution is 72 pixels per inch. 7. Output Sharpening: Check Sharpen For Screen. Amount Standard. Sharpening is not critical for the copyright o ce, but if we are going to the extent to produce these  les, we might as well sharpen them for screen use. 8. Metadata: Choose Write Keywords as Lightroom Hierarchy. 9. Post-Processing: After Export, click on Do nothing. 10. Click on Export. Your RAW  les will be converted to JPGs and wind up in a JPG subfolder of the job folder in your job folder hard drive ( Figure 13.29 ). EXPORTING TIFs FOR THE CLIENT: We are delivering these TIFFs in ColorMatch RGB. Ideally we would deliver in CMYK for print use, but we only deliver in CMYK if we get complete cooperation from the client. When we deliver in RGB, we like to deliver in ColorMatch RGB because it is very close to CMYK. Delivering in Adobe98 is like saying ‘ See all of this color, well you can’t have it. ’ When delivering in ColorMatch, the client can see and have all of the color. 1. We select the four images our client chose in the Library Grid Mode. 2. Click on Export. 3. The Export dialog box will pop up. Change the subfolder name to 20080616_indiancreek_cf. 4. Under File Naming Template, keep Filename. 5. Under File Settings Format: TIFF Compression: None Please purchase PDF Split-Merge on www.verypdf.com to remove this watermark.

The Choose Pro les dialog box will appear, check Include Display Pro les at the bottom left. Then check ColorMatch RGB. Choose OK ( Figure 13.30 ). 6. Under Image Sizing: Do not check Resize to Fit. We are sending full-size  les to the client. Resolution is 266 ppi, which is two times the line screen of 133 for the press the client is using. 7. Output Sharpening: Lightroom’s Output Sharpening is for Screen and InkJet Printing. For web press printing, we would opt for the third-party plug-in Pixel Genius Photokit Sharpener, or leave output sharpening up to the client. 8. Metadata: Choose Write Keywords as Lightroom Hierarchy. 9. Post-Processing: After Export, click on Do nothing. Please purchase PDF Split-Merge on www.verypdf.com to remove this watermark.

The four RAW  les that the client selected will be converted to TIFFs and wind up in a TIFF subfolder of the job folder in your job folder hard drive. 11. Click on Export ( Figure 13.31 ). The beauty of this is that you can export all of these at the same time. You do not have to wait until one group is done to xport another group. It is being done in the background.

The Photoshop Lightroom Workbook 290 This is an example of a job folder after the images have been exported into the three different subfolders. The job folder will be archived on at least two external ‘job folder’ hard drives. FIG 13.32 Job Folder with DNG, JPG and Ti  les of the Library, Lightroom will show you that three operations are in progress. If you wanted to cancel one of the operations, just click on the X key. In Figure 13.32 below shows Job Folder with DNG, JPG and Ti  les. UPRESING ON EXPORT Lightroom does an excellent job with upresing as well. The upres is done with a proprietary algorithm similar to bi-cubic smoother. We demonstrated going down in size to create smaller jpg  les for the copyright o ce, but you can also create larger  les very easily. Follow the same steps as above, and then under Image Sizing, put in the width and height either in inches, pixels or centimeters as per your  le requirements. If you wanted to make a 13 ϫ 19 print, put in those numbers. It’s that easy THE WORKFLOW CONTINUES DEPENDING UPON YOUR NEEDS. Your and your client’s needs for export may be quite di erent, but can be accomplished exactly the same way, using job folders for organization .

The goal of D-65 is to have an EXACT DUPLICATE of our catalog and all of our image  les on multiple media in multiple locations. An archive should be made regularly because computers are not 100% reliable. Hard disks malfunction, viruses and worms corrupt data, and people can make simple mistakes like deleting when they didn’t mean to. Having an archive means you can recover from such things, with little if any data lost. As Hurricane Wilma passed over Miami Beach, we watched and took photographs from our 17th- oor apartment, which faces the Atlantic Ocean on the front side and the intercoastal on the backside. We live on a very narrow section of Miami Beach, which is roughly one foot above sea level. Our building  ooded, our docks were destroyed, and as the storm intensi ed we watched the roof come o of the building next store.
