Hi guys hope you can help this novice on Lightroom.
I have recently been asked to provide an image to a publisher by email 300dpi or minimum 1mb my settings from a recent file sent seem to be 240dpi -776.8kb ,I would be very grateful for any help here and also once the correct settings have been obtained do I export to desktop and then attach to email.
 
Hi,
Right mouse on the image and select export.
Then create an export profile that suits. In this case, untick resize and set DPI to 300 and the image format and colour space as required then let it go to hard disk.
 
When you export go to the image sizing option and select 300 dpi this will set the dpi field in the file's metadata to that figure. I don't know what size file you are sending but increase the dimensions by about 25% should get you to 1 Mb. Yes you can export to desktop or any location you like , provided your email client can use that location
 
Many thanks Stewart & John for your feedback .
