P: More Export Formats Besides Jpg of edited photos!

Yes sure I understand your point. Maybe we need to create a hacks forum, if not setup already. Adobe if you are listening, my hacks are exactly that, just hacks, not solutions, get your A into G.

Your hacks are excellent and useful, thanks for sharing them!

Besides that, what I'm concerned with is giving Adobe more reasons to push this down the priority list because half-alternatives might exist.

Yes Victor I understand the issue, it’s not lost on me, I edit around 55 thousand photos a year, I’m just giving people options to help them. One option was classic, the other was using “edit in” in FIX, why not rather comment on that one, it’s not as if I only mentioned classic. I suspect the need for uncompressed edited images retaining bit depth is for a particular use, I don’t suspect every imported edited image in mobile would need that umcompression on export which is why I’ve given a solution to export the image you do need uncompressed. If not helpful, then cool.

The point is that we don’t want to use Lighroom Clasic 🙂

I actually gave a full explanation on the original forum linked to this one https://feedback.photoshop.com/photos..., which I forgot to link to, where I say my solution is NOT for changing bit depth or file type, only pixel count. If you are needing higher quality, on one or a few of your images, you could just sync those ones in the cloud, which will open in classic as RAWs with your full edit, ready to do what you like with it on export in whatever format and bit rate. I don’t know many who would take an already edited jpg further into the editing process, so I’m not sure what you mean by that, that would be obvious. Try select an image in lightroom mobile and choose “edit in”. This will take you into a programme like photoshop fix or whatever you choose. Don’t do anything to the image in fix, just save it back into Lightroom and you may get a tiff or png file with high bit rate. I can’t say for sure, check it out and test it. If this is the case, just do that to an image where you feel you need a higher quality image then the standard export jpg. Once saved back into cc mobile, export original, which will contain your edit and in the high quality.

I absolutely get what the problem is, I just forgot to link my full response. I actually should’ve just kept my response on the other forum, not this one.

I dont think you get the problem, sorry to say ^^
The problem is that jpeg is a lossy image compression format, you lose in color quality (8 bit) and in sharpness, even at the best settings.
When you edit further (after Lightroom for example), you need a very good quality base image otherwise some editing processes will considerably deteriorate IQ due to the original image being a JPEG (although it might look good initially, but for example increasing the contrast in dark zones of a JPEG will almost certainly end in terrible banding or other compression artifacts being clearly visible).

Just use the workflow app and set your export pixel width or length using a share extension. The lightroom high quality export has the same dpi value as low 2048px one, so choose the high quality option and set the pixel amount on export in workflow.

As has already been posted numerous times, more export options and a bare minimum of one high quality option (TIFF 8 and 16 bit) would be a requirement to anyone wanting a complete photography workflow on mobile.
Otherwise to put it simply it’s not possible to use Lightroom mobile in such a workflow, and that’s a shame because it’s one of the better applications out there.

Would be really nice to have at least a few other options for exporting on my mobile. Save to device at highest quality or 2048px is not sufficient. We use this app for Instagram but without any export options that work with their compression algorithm you're forcing us to switch to desktop and it slows down workflow.
