Doesn't really explain how to increase or decrease the file size. This is doable, but hard to find a good tutorial online. Not as helpful as it could be.

My question is what effect does selecting or deselecting the "don't enlarge" checkbox? Does the program interpolate and add more pixels to the image if it is enlarged beyond the original? I am trying to enlarge my image to 16x20 inches or greater. Which selection will give me the best enlargement with the best clarity and least amount of grain? Thank You.

Say you have a div which is 800px x 800px and you wanted to drop the whole gallery into that div size. Does anybody know how to change the over all document size in Lightroom?

My question regards more the forced resizing of an image. I tried the different settings, dimension, HxW, pixels etc but the export only allows the image to retain its original proportion. What if for example i want to change the dimensions to fit a perfect square if it causes some distortion in the final product? Basicaly i want to convert a rectanguular image and fit it in a perfect square dimension... lets say a 4x6 to convert into a clean 5x5 or 4x4 or 6x6 or 3x3? Hello

Having been unsuccessful at resizing using lightrom, I contacted adobe support. They said the capability does not exist in LR. Gues what they were wrong. Thanks for the tutorial.

Pictures were coming from different cameras with different size and quality, in addition the resolution had to be adapted to what the modem speed at that time was able to support. Now my flash album requires a fixed format and a set of thumb miniatures. Altogether, 2 times 800 conversions. I like this kind of task based tutorial because this is taking into account the user point of view which is more “is it the best tool for my objective” rather than “how to perform this task with the software I have purchased”. You read 4 pages with clear instruction, perform a test on a sample with several corner cases, and that’s it! In addition you can keep the native files and the tutorial for further conversions (adding new stuff, adapting the site to smart phones and tablets etc..).

Just so that less pixels were dropped each time. I understood this produced better results than doing it all in one go. Is this possible in Lightroom, other than having to read in the previously exported jpeg each time? Is it even necessary....have I been acting on an 'old wive's tale' doing this in the past? ( No disrespect intended to elderly married ladies. ) In the past, downsizing images in Photoshop, I used to do this in stages. Just so that less pixels were dropped each time.

What size L & W do I pick. Lightroom 3 has made it to hard to do this, you should be able to just put in 24 MB and it makes them under that size. I save in TIFF format, sRGB Color Space, no Compression, 16 Bits/component, and resize to fit-Megapixels set to 4.0-4.5 megapixels and most of the pictures come out below 24 MB is the only way I have found that works for me. Then again I don't know how much quality I have lost in the pictures, as they seem to look fine. It would be nice to know how to keep them at the 24 MB mark, but nowhere in Lightroom 3 does it tell you how to do it. I would like to keep the file as big as possible. How do you do that???
