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.

Lightroom Classic and Lightroom Desktop are NOT the same program. Lightroom Desktop is the cloud-based Lightroom, and it doesn't have all the features that you are accustomed to using in Lightroom Classic. If you can adapt to using the "new" Lightroom then it might be the program to consider. Otherwise, you might want to install Lightroom Classic instead.

I had Lightroom Classic at work and I had no idea this version was not identical. I am unable to do the work I need to do in editing batches of photos for uploading to a website.

Victoria it's been almost two years since the release of Lr CC, and no export options have been added so far... I had to print a photo, and had to export the raw, import it in APPLE PHOTOS (yes! damn), edit it again, and export in TIFF 16 bit format. I've been paying for almost two years now for a software that doesn't allow me to do simple exports for printing. You guys are being lazy. Lazy with our money!

"It'll gain features quickly", she said. That's TWO YEARS ago, for a feature as essential as exporting with custom settings applied.
"Which features get added first will largely depend on feedback here, so feel free to add "ideas" for your most-needed features.
I think I made the right decision to stick with LR for Professionals, aka LR Classic. It would have been a long two years to wait for all this nonsense.

I had hoped that I could send my old IMac into retirement because of my new IPad Pro but apparently it will have to assist me for some more time. But thank you for your idea on the folders.

Using Lightroom desktop (cloud version), your choices are original format or JPEG. You have no options for size. But on the output dialog there is a place for you to specify the folder. Lightroom Classic has more options, but that's another program and another story.

How do I save in TIFF format ? How do I decide the size of the picture ? How do I save into a specifik folder ?

When I save a Lightroom Mobile image to my Android device, it is shown in all image libraries with today's date. If I look into the metadata, the capture date (which is correct and available in Lightroom mobile) is not saved in the downloaded images. This makes my Lightroom use case completely broken. I hope for your solutions, Mathias
