I did a corporate event and the lighting in one of the rooms were very yellow with windows everywhere and I wanted to fix the white balance. I knew it would be a problem so I shot raw here. I also had to shoot raw so I could pull back some highlight blow out of the papers they were signing.

I did an edit on one picture then did ctrl A to the thumbnails and then develop settings>copy settings

in the export out there is no quality setting. and the pictures are all coming out at 1mb or less.
thanks guys

LR 5.4

I am using lightroom 5.7, so not sure if its the same as yours, when I go to export I can adjust the size of the finished file. make sure you don't have the limit file size box ticked.

I did notice that you are exporting 456 files to cd/dvd, not done it that way before so not sure on the setting.

I did spot this, when I clicked on the thumbnail at the bottom of the screen, to burn full size jpegs.

Yea, I noticed that after posting. I chaged to hard drive and it was the same at 100%. I dont think it would burn well to a dvd as an export.


I dont usually use raw for any event, but here I saw the situation was going to be with difficult lighting and I had to get back some highlight. there were contracts and papers people were signing and it was on the desk, there were overhead lights and that gave too much exposure for the paper but I had to expose for the people who were getting enough light. the walls all around were from dark wood so I could bounce behind me which would have been perfect as some of them were wearing hats. so wanted to use LR to bring back some highlight detail, then ill put in acdsee pro and edit the rest.


tried with capture NX2 and it doesnt have that bottom slider with thumbnails there, soe very image I have to click in the browser folder, minimize the browser box so I can see the image and then adjust then save. I do like that I can save back to nef though.

bravo for the quick jump in!

In the new Capture NX-D, you can select all and apply any change to all at once. It probably doesn't have all the options NX2 has but for basic changes it's ok.
