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 can't believe that this FR has only 35 votes. There are so less LRCC users out there? Or are they happy with the limited options here? I do not understand why Adobe did not implement such a basic feature.

I`m using LR CC as a professional. I wanted to uprgad to the 1TB plan. But then i realized I can ́t choose DPI and Color Range? Please put a serious export on the very top of your todo list!!

Ok, guys...6 month and no changes to the exporting feature. I cancel my subscription and go to Luminar. Sorry Adobe, but you clearly do not see what a fast upgrade cycle is. The last changes made to Lightroom CC have been marginal and only to do with your auto filters...get the basics right before being fancy.

Exporting as tiff would be everything I would need as well, but at least with customizable bit depth. 16bit would be nice.

Hi Victor,

Adobe has no interest in preventing you from using your images in any software you please. The "Edit in Photoshop" function is there to make it more convenient to edit and save your changes in Lightroom. You can already export the original file and open it in any other compatible program. No matter what software you like to use, we are happy that you choose to include ours in that workflow. 

Other export options are under consideration but, as you know, there are a lot of feature requests to work on and they are prioritized by popularity. Where this one is in that list I can't say but if the idea gains enough support you could likely expect to see it in a future release. 

Thanks again for your input.

Rick

I have a sneaky suspicion that saying things like "we need lossless export to continue editing in Affinity Photo on iPad" is only going to make things worse, and possibly one of the reasons why we don't have this obviously important feature in the first place. It might be in Adobe's business interest to prevent us from using competitor products, and lock us in the ecosystem. For example, Lr mobile has "Edit in Photoshop Fix", but no "Export with options". Similarly, Lr CC desktop can export as a 16bit TIFF to Photoshop, but nothing else.

Here's hoping I'm wrong.

Mmmh, just trying to use Lightroom CC for some simple editing...made some major adjustment in my processing from Lightroom classic...but major flaw I cannot get around starts at the export. I need to lower the quality of jpegs and retain the resolution. Just to save file size. This is still not possible...I understand something different under gaining features quickly.

Add my vote to this issue.  I would prefer using LR mobile on the iPad Pro as my primary editing app but I keep having to return to my Macbook Pro to do any exports or to edit an image in another program.  I would like to see LR Mobile for iPad export at the full resolution of the RAW image to at least JPEG, TIFF, and PNG formats.  Thanks.
