Hallo, ich benötige Hilfe bei einer einfachen Sache. 

Ich habe ein Foto .png Datei. Aus diesem Foto möchte ich einen kleinen Bereich ausschneiden und als neue .png Datei abspeichern. Leider ist es beim Exportieren immer der Fall, dass das komplette ursprüngliche Foto abgespeichert wird und nicht der kleine Aussschnitt den ich eigentlich als separate Datei haben möchte. 
Kann mir jemand sagen was ich falsch mache?

Mein System: Lightroom 6, Windows,

Hi, I need help with a simple thing. 

I have a photo .png file. From this photo I want to cut out a small area and save it as a new .png file. Unfortunately, it is always the case when exporting that the complete original photo is saved and not the small cut-out that I actually want to have as a separate file. 
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

You have chosen Original under Dateieinstellungen (File settings) in the Export dialog. This will export the original, unedited image.

Choose a file format, like PNG, from the dropdown menu.

Export "Original" will export the full 'original' image- Not the cropped area.

AND you need to make a Virtual Copy that IS Cropped to export. (Or finish and make the crop of the full map to export)

Change your File Format in the Export dialog-

 

Example- Original and cropped Virtual Copy-

Lightroom 6 did not have the option to export as PNG, it was introduced in a later version.

I suggest that you export a Tiff file, open it in Photoshop, and save as a PNG, or use Export or Save for web.

To preserve the quality of the original, do not export as jpg from Lightroom.
