[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 492223, member: 9240"] You've gotten the information you need, but simply to condense it, and explain LR to anyone following, LR is simply ACR saving adjustments in the Catalog instead of a sidecar file. Export is the only way you can actually save (i.e. create) an actual file. Blacktop's screen shots are the basis of what you need. I use the Export facility to do one of two things - export finished JPEGs for publication (I do final sharpening of them in PS), and resizing [I]before[/I] editing. Whether tiff or psd (same amount of information) and whether your "enlargement" is 1:1 or bigger, it's the same deal. I have a video somewhere here that talks about enlarging a cropped RAW file for processing. After a lot of playing around, I've found that it's better to crop up front in LR, enlarge if you think you'll [I]need[/I] the resolution, and then process. ACR is as good or better than most other resize utilities in my book. [/QUOTE]
