markashworth Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 (edited) Hi - I print my smaller prints (A4 and smaller) on my Epson P800 with Ilford Smooth Pearl paper. The results are excellent having completed my sharpening class ? I export the images from lightroom to PS at 300ppi where I apply appropriate sharpening for the print size and then save. This image appears in LR and I select print. Currently I print direct from LR with no adjustments except for the print profile. Also I have the "print resolution" check box Unchecked A friend told me that the default resolution for the Epson print is 360ppi (Canon's are 300) and as such I should use this as the resolution. So my question is should I be exporting my files at 360ppi for printing thru lightroom and leaving unchecked or checking the resolution box and entering 360? Thanks in advance.

Damien Symonds Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 The resolution at which you send the files from Lightroom to PS is irrelevant, don't worry. As long as you're entering the correct size and resolution in PS's crop tool, that's all that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markashworth Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 Indeed - its just when the file is back in LR and I want to send the image to my printer (P800) - do I select the resolution box - unchecked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Unchecked, I'd say. Since the resolution has already been established. You can't go on living like this, mate. It's time to make your life MUCH easier. https://www.damiensymonds.net/bridge-30-day-challenge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started shooting digitally back in 2003/4, and all that was available was ACR. through bridge on PS 3 I think. I manage all my files myself and import where I want them I am a happy LR user to be fair... I particularly like the simplicity it offers when it comes to printing my own stuff amongst other features... Nice try though ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Simplicity??? Read this thread again. Tell me where the simplicity is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markashworth Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 1. Send RAW file to my editor 2. Save edited image into LR 3. Export image to PS, resize and sharpen for print - as recommended in your sharpening class. (I have a preset to bring into PS at the correct resolution and crop) 4. Go to print dialog, choose print template, press print. Print comes out of printer. Done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
