How do I export an edited catalogue from LR?

[kitschenalia]

Hi there,

I've now finished editing the wedding in LR. I've tried exporting the images by selecting all, then exporting in the usual way. But, it's exported the originals, NOT the edited ones. So, they look as they did before I edited.

Can anyone help?

In grid view - select all the images that you want to export - go to File > Export - the export dialogue page comes up - set up how you want to export and click EXPORT at the bottom of the page -it will export the selected pics with the edits. How are you doing it? Did you shoot in RAW? You shouldn't be trying to export the LR Catalogue - just the pictures.

Yep, if you're using Export as Catalog... on the File menu, that's for the purpose of making an archive backup or transferring originals + edit parameters between different installations of Lightroom.

Use the regular File > Export... option instead.
