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.

I’m on the free trial and can’t see subscribing without being able to control more on export - colorspace, for example.

The export function of CC needs a user parameter, to set the resolution. This is very urgent !!!

Just bought LR CC without realizing it isn't Lightroom. Frustrated by the limitations, especially around exporting images. Please improve ASAP!

I want to save for web in Lightroom CC Desktop. The "small" option when downloading the images is too big for my website. I need a way to reduce the resolution and size without having to go into Photoshop or Lightroom Classic.

Are they still printable when saved at “normal size”

You are right. Back in 2000 a software without drag and drop or print function is not a production software but a pré-alpha
This is so strange ADOBE does not implement such functionally and even more strange, no road map is published.
Customers just have to pay and ask no question about the future.

Lightroom CC doesn't have an export function that is useful. Can't change the image title on export, can't customise the compression settings, can't export to different sizes, can't upload to a to social networks, can't apply sharpening or any filters on export.

I mean why not just go back to the Classic app but make it more connected. Lightroom Classic works well and has pro level workflows, the ONLY useful feature in CC is the ability to share an album with colleagues or clients allowing them to download images as they need direct.

All the other features are dumbed down, confusing and hobbled. It's real shame, wasted opportunity in my view.
