[QUOTE="nickt, post: 180319, member: 4923"] I'm doing some Lightroom 5 learning tonight. Specifically trying to get myself a good understanding on preparing an image for printing at a lab. Exporting seems reasonably straight forward to me. But then I read that some folks alternatively print to jpg for uploading to a lab. I can't find a good explanation of why someone would print to file vs export. It would make sense if I wanted a contact sheet, but are there any other reasons why I would print a single image to a file rather than exporting it? I just gave printing to a file a quick try. I could only get full page jpg's, in other words, lots of white around my 4x6 image to fill a whole letter size page. So I'm thinking print to jpg is tied to my printer paper settings, maybe other settings too. That makes me wonder even more why someone would upload the print to file output to a lab. I'm very uncomfortable in the print module so that doesn't help either. Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself. If anybody can give me a quick rundown on when/why to print to file that would be great. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
