HI guys, I'm having a similar issue. I can't seem to even find the export tab in my Lightroom. I can only save photos. Please help!

    In the new Lightroom CC, it's under the File menu. The option is "Save to". There aren't as many options as they are in Lightroom Classic CC.

    I've branched your question and I'm moving it over to the LR CC forum.

    You posted in the wrong forum.

    Thank you both for this information. I've just downloaded Lightroom Classic, which is apparently the platform to use if you want to import photos.

    Lightroom CC only lets you save images. I was under the impressions that Lightroom CC was the newer version of Lightroom Classic, that's why I didn't bother downloading Classic at first.

    Thanks to you both, vey helpful and I can't thank you enough.

    Lightroom CC is Adobe's new cloud-based platform. It's possible to import or "Add New" photos, and photos can be synchronized from Lightroom Classic CC. But your initial question was about exporting. That is why I answered the way I did. The "traditional" Lightroom that has been around for about a decade has been rebranded as Lightroom Classic CC. Yes, the names of the programs are confusing. Don't ask. At least now you are on the right track.

    LR doesn't have a Save Photo option.

    The Export button is at the bottom of the left hand panel in the Library module.

    If you have an option to Save Photo then you aren't using LR.

    Posted in the wrong forum. Move to the correct forum.

    Thank you so much for your response.I have an Adobe Lightroom CC membership that I'm paying for each month, so I'm not sure what you mean. I am using Lightroom CC, the new edition. Can you provide more information?
