P: Additional options needed when exporting

I ask because when you export in Lightroom CC, called "save to," the only parameter you can adjust is the pixels. Nothing else that I can see. In other versions of Lightroom you get a whole bunch of parameters to adjust, including DPI. Clients specify sometimes the settings that they want. Or another possibility is that I'm doing it wrong, and if so, could someone let me know how to export and adjust things like DPI.

    *Kithamilton The latest desktop version allows customizing the ppi/ppcm values if you change the Dimension option to "Custom" and then choose either inches or cm for the "Long Side" unit option. I hope this improves your productivity.

    Not being able to export at 300dpi is a travesty.  It means everything I export has to be opened in Photoshop and then saved at the appropriate dpi for large scale printing.  Back to Classic for me. (It also has the crop overlays that I like to use, totally absent from CC).

    Batch Rename? More Export options? Any professional who wants to use lightroom CC needs these ASAP! Batch renaming is a vital part of any pro photographers workflow! Also, We need better export options that give us the ability to dial in exact details

    Most of the items mentioned in this thread are implemented. Make sure you are using the latest version (3.2.1) to see these additional Export options.

    Seems to have been a long term issue that Adobe is ignoring?

    Please bring in more photo exporting options in Lightroom CC! I am enjoying Lightroom CC with editing and cloud storage, but Lightroom CC only allows relatively small JPEG resolution. I use and edit RAW, but would like to convert to an Excellent Quality JPEG. Right now my RAW file size is anywhere up to 50MB, but the largest exported JPEG Lightroom CC allows even when clicking “full size” is like 5MB. THATS A HUGE DISPARITY. I just want to be able to share a large JPEG versions as RAW files are not shareable. Thank you!

    It would be nice if we could have tho option to choose our export size, quality and format, we only get two options, small 20r8 jpeg, and max available.

    No, that just happened to be the export format I was using for the screenshot. If you click the File Type drop-down you should see these additional options:
