With Lightroom Classic 9.0, we can now, for any number of images selected, export multiple file types at once – for example, a full-size JPEG for printing and a small JPEG for online sharing. Unfortunately the addition of this new functionality to the Export dialog also makes simple exports more confusing. In the video tutorial below I’ll show you how to do batch exports with multiple presets, and I’ll show you the difference between selecting a preset and checking it, so you don’t get stuck while doing simple exports.
This is one of 112 videos (10 minutes out of 25 hours!) in my Lightroom 5, 6 and Classic CC: The Fundamentals & Beyond V. 8 video series, for beginners and experienced users – do check it out!
