Export problem - Lr does not export jpgs

hello everybody.

i'm getting crazy about an export problem that occurs every 3-4 times I export jpgs from my catalogues: the process seems to start but nothing happens, the process bar doesn't move and the only thing I can do is to abort, close and re-open lightroom and then export again my pictures.

has anybody had to deal with such a problem?

thanks in advance.

Your dimension of 30cm and Resolution of 300ppi is trying to create a file that might be approximately 9 MegaPixels and you are trying to Limit the export to 1mB. (1000kB)

So I guess that Lightroom would have a problem applying JPG compression to this extreme degree so 'refuses' to export.

You could remove the tick from the "Limit File Size" box and use the "Quality" slider instead.

eg. 30cm (11.8inch) x 300ppi = 3540 pixels (long edge)

A square image 3540 x 3540pixels = 12.5 megaPixels


It's 30,000cm, not 30, so 9,000MP...
