Thank you so much. That helps a lot, coming from someone who knows their stuff. Cheers.

Thanks mate. I will have a look at it. What are your thought on this one? https://www.jbhifi.com.au/computers-tablets/laptops/apple/apple-macbook-pro-15-inch-with-touch-bar-512gb-space-grey-new/452750/

Waste of money?

Hi there, I am a mac user so I would like to lean more towards investing in a MacBook pro. However I am open to other suggestions and recommendations and would love to hear yours. Basically I am looking to invest in an epic laptop for photo editing. budget up to $3000 approx. Cheers, Anthony Glick.

Hey mate. Please excuse my radio silence. I went away when you sent this on a 3 week trip with no signal, I managed to sort the pano out. Thank you for helping me and thank you for following up! I really appreciate it. Cheers. Anthony Glick. 

Hey Mate, Thanks for that. Here is a pano I shot and sized to the dimensions of my desired 80x160cm print. What do you think about the chances of getting a decent print from this file are? Is it worth spending some money to see a test print? 

Thanks for the reply. Yes I can shoot panoramas in a raw 12mp format. Even if not I could just stitch the individual 12mp files together in post as a panoramic image like I do with my DSLR.

Well, my first question would be - do those modes apply to raw files?

I'm afraid I don't know anything about drone cameras.  I'm just thinking of other cameras, which have various modes that only apply to jpeg files, you know?

Hi Damien,

I own a mavic pro drone which has a 12mp stills camera and can shoot raw files. I know it’s up to each individual persons desires and requirements about the quality of their prints. However I wanted to ask you what you suggest if I am going on a trip and the aim is to print out a series of photos at 80x160cm long. Would a panoramic and portrait mode be best? If so how would you suggest me taking the images and how many images? Thank you so much in advance. Any help is much appreciated! 

Hi Damien, yep all of the images are landscape/scenery. Cheers.

Hi there, 

I am having loads of trouble exporting my images from lightroom and achieving a good quality image export without the file being too large.

My website developer has given me these settings for the export from lightroom but the images all come out really low quality and blurry.

JPEG

sRGB

Quality 80

Limit file size to 170k

1024 x 683

72 px/inch

 

Any suggestions on how to fix this issue?

 

Here is one example of the quality.

 

 

In lightroom 100%

Thank you so much for your help. I had a bit of trouble completing the process in photoshop so I saved it and it went to my lightroom and then I exported it. 

Does this look okay?

I am worried about the RGB colour space? Although the colour profile is SRGB?

Confusing stuff mate, cheers for helping me out. 

no need for bleeding or trimming. Thanks

Hi Damien,

They want the file ready for print. 

Cheers 

Hi there, 

I have a customer who is printing one of my images up on wall paper for a wall piece. 

the final size will be 282cm wide and 262cm high. 

I need to get the file ready for print but I am not sure how to export?

The wallpaper supplier is telling me I need to have an absolute minimum of 72 DPI in reference to the wall dimensions. I am not sure how to properly export this from lightroom? If anyone can offer any assistance that would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you very much this was very helpful! 

I have a Mac laptop running OS X EL Capitan and Lightroom cc. It is over 2 years old, and has 8GB of RAM. Its hard drive has 87GB free out of 500GB. The last time I shut down was earlier today. I have never run a cleanup program.

It is very slow to cull my photos. Would you be able to point me in the direction of a solution to this?

My Lightroom import dialogue is displaying the images in a VERY low resolution. Is there any way to make them higher res so I can properly preview the files before I import them. They appear very pixelated at the moment. I have been trying to fix this issue for a while now. I have attached a screenshot to show you what I am talking about. Cheers!
