Bug in Photoshop Lightroom. When I go to export a number of files, I have the resize option selected to resize the long edge with the "do not enlarge" checked. This works on the vertical files but not the horizontal files. The files I'm exporting ar DNG files created by the same camera and resolution. I've tried resize by inches and by pixels but still only the verticals ar resized, the horizontals are native resolution. I am running Mac OS 10.6.5 with Lightroom 3.4. My only solution was to select the horizontals separately and then export resize hight and width with only the width value. I didn't have this problem with previous versions.

Just uncheck the Do Not Enlarge box as a workaround.

Let me be perfectly clear . . .

Since upgrading to LR5 latest release 5.3, specifying a short side limit to an export (in my case, 640) does nothing; the file is exported in the original size.

A workaround is to specify the desired long side so as to get a short side of 640 pixels.

EXCEPT . . . for some files, nothing works. I've not found anything special about those files, and I've tried both processed and as imported versions

In case it's not clear, it does not matter what numbers you enter in there. It fails consistently.

Just so there is no assumption regarding me being an idiot unable to work an export dialog (I might be for other stuff, but not this), I can go to LR4, LR 5, and 5.2, and the same files export without any problems with regard to resizing.

The files are all NEF files imported directly from camera, but I tested with other files (JPG, TIFF, PSD), and same problem occurs.

I can't help inability to duplicate at your end; I can only report what I'm running into.

But I find it difficult to believe the same code works differently at my house than at some other location.

As for settings, nothing seems to affect the behavior . . . if I choose short edge resize, regardless what other stuff I ask for, it does not work. However, for the record, I choose a location, I choose 72dpi, I choose do not enlarge (I tried without it), JPG at 80%, sRGB, normal sharpening for screen, and a watermark (I tried without the watermark).

It's not comforting to find no mention or admission of a bug.

I am a big fan of LR, but putting out releases to "fix" minor bugs and add compatibility, and screwing up a basic function that has worked for years is no way to inspire confidence on future updates.

Ok, I can reproduce now.

It was not clear to me from your first post that one have to use "Limit File size" (using some punctuation would help).

Of course, because it's not this bug. It's has no relation with wide or tall images.
Take usual image say 4000x3000
Select Export to disk
Set File size limit to, for example, 10000Kb
Set Resize to 10000x10000
Check "don't enlarge"
Export
Result image is not 4000x3000 (as it should) but 10000x7500.

Do the same again, but dont limit file size, just set qulity percentage and you get the same size 4000x3000 as expected.

Cannot reproduce.
Neighter wide, nor tall images ignore the "don't enlarge" box.
