Lloyd Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 When exporting from lightroom can I keep editing the images or will the changes export also? Basically, I am now exporting the colours images and now I want to edit the selected B+W. Will this affect the colour version currently exporting? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim Howells Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Do you mean that some of the colour photos that you're exporting will also be edited in B&W? Or different ones that you're not providing in colour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd Posted September 20, 2017 Author Share Posted September 20, 2017 So I am exporting all 100 images as colour, whilst these images are exporting can I make changes to them and not affect the current export. Just because it takes about 20mins to export 700 files I wanted to be getting on with the B+W conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Gosh, 700 is a lot! What kind of photos are they? What format and size are you exporting them to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christina Keddie Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I'd recommend making a virtual copy of any file prior to doing any B&W work in LR. I don't believe making changes to your catalog will impact an ongoing export (should be easy enough for you to test it out and see, on a smaller batch than 700), but I prefer keeping separate versions of files separate, so I can always go back to the master color file to export disposable JPGs of it, and ditto the master B&W file. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 So this is for a wedding, exported as a Jpeg at 2048px long side. I do export a master PSD file for my back up once the colour edited is complete. I was just curious to see if it would have an impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lloyd Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 Yes this is for the files they can use online. I also send them a larger file for their prints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Terrific. What quality level (on the 0-100 scale) do you save them at? And do you watermark them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 When exporting the Jpegs for print the quality is on 86. I don't resize for their prints. If they then come back to me and ask for a specific size print I process this according to your sharpening guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lloyd Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 Oh, same quality. Should I choose a different quality? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Yes, 70 is ample. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
