Question

Lightroom on iPadOS exports wrong file format.

Hi everyone,

I am trying to export my edited images from Lightroom on iPadOS, but the images keep being exported in JPEG and very small file size. FOr example, an image of 6000x4000, 24 MP, 25 MB, unedited - if I try to export as TIF, 100 % image quality, largest available dimensions, 16 bit bit depth, no compression, it will end up having 2 MB JPEG in files.

I have not found similar issues in the community, so I hope somone can help out here.

Thank you in advance!

Hello @BOTaniker 

Using the latest LR iOS app version 10.3, I cannot reproduce what you describe.  I wonder if you might be confused thinking that settings you once specified in Export As.. might be used for all exports, ie., Save copy to device or Add border and share...

Just now, I took a 24 MPix NEF raw image, and used Export As to use the settings you mentioned plus Dimensions = Largest Available, and the result was I saved a 146 MB size TIF file.

 

If you continune to see this problem, and nothing you try in Export As.. options helps, it might help us understand the problem if we can see a screen recording of your workflow.  See: https://support.apple.com/en-us/102653
