Using Bridge

Years ago, my job was to batch file jpegs to websize. We had our version of Bridge from early on and it was pretty simple. I'm still using it today (membership on cloud) and wonder a few things:

-do I really need to shoot 7360 X 4912 @300ppi for anything on the web? I havent printed anything in over a decade is why I ask that question

-what is a high quality image on the web (paysites, etc...) Like is 1920 X 1080 @ 72ppi too little or too much?

-can I get matching densities from differently exposed images in a batch or do I need to learn Lightroom (so far, I havent understood that program.

Please let me know what I need to do to catch up and be able to output clean, sharp images that have similar or matching densities.

Thanks and looking forward to your responses.

    Hi Chriskingphoto,

    1. No, you do not need to capture images at 300 ppi to view on web, only 72 ppi is enough and you can keep the width & height smaller as well.

    2. 1920 X 1080 @ 72 ppi is perfect to be viewed on web as now a days people use high resolution displays.

    3. You can use this simple feature in Lightroom to match the exposure of the images:
