Hello everyone.

I am shooting for years now Tehered with Lightroom. As my knowledge grows i am wondering how to manipulate previous during tethered capture. If i import from a hard drive or a sd card or anything else, i can choose during import what kind of previous Lightroom i want to build.
But during Tethered Capture?  Neither i do not know what kind Lightroom builds, nor if i can choose what kind to build during tethering!

I searched a lot but i do not find an answer.

 

Thank you.

Assuming you are using Lightroom-Classic:

TBMK there is no place where you can set Preview size -in the tether setup dialog. (You do have a Develop Preset option menu in the shutter button UI.)

However I believe Standard Previews will be built to a size that you can set in the [Catalog Settings] dialog:  Edit > Catalog Settings > Previews tab > Preview Cache.   You may want 'Auto' (Screen resolution), or a specific pixel size, then 'Quality'.

 

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.1.1, Photoshop 27.3.1, ACR 18.1.1, Lightroom 9.0, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.2 .

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
