P: Lightroom sometimes changes orientation inadvertently

Please add native png-support.
Sorry, Adobe png ist the! web-standard, i cant understand.

please add png export - png is the standard web format, please add this feauture. thanks

It would be nice if Lightroom could add PNG as an export option.

Still hoping for PNG export in LRCC

I've been wanting this feature for quite some time.

Not sure why it hasn't been implemented yet, as it would be very simple to do.

If we're able to use so many powerful features within Lightroom (like clone/heal, etc.) without needing to export to Photoshop; why not enable a simple PNG export option?

I realize, when people make feature requests, they are interested in native functionality. People sometimes offer work-arounds in case they help get by in the mean time. Hopefully it's understood that the intent is not to take anything away from the original feature request.

With that in mind, Exportant also has an option for PNG export which may be relatively convenient.

Thanks Rob, I'll look into that "workaround". Currently, I just use photoshop for PNG.

The point of this feature request is not to have to use a workaround. With PNG being a major web format for images which include transparency, I feel LR should natively support PNG as an export option.

Workaround: use Lr/Mogrify (or PreviewExporter) for exporting pngs.

Dan, I'm assuming "next major version" means the fix won't be available before LR 4.0?

I am being bitten by this bug again (LR 3.6).

I had saved the metadata to DNG files (sometimes more than once), but to no avail.

Some (but apparently not all) of my images in portrait orientation just flipped back to landscape orientation.

This is very, very frustrating.

Yes, I'd write that up as a distinct issue.
