Hi. I want to set the dimensions and resolution for images when exporting from Lightroom CC, but the image sizing dialogue is greyed out.

Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

You can't resize to a dng. The dng file is still a raw image. The main difference between the cr2 and the dng is that the dng includes all of the metadata embedded in the file. You have to export to jpg or tiff if you want to resize, but those files are not raw.

Chris,

You've probably set Image Format to "Original" in the File Settings section. Choose one of the other options.

    Hi Hal, thanks for your response.

    I think I got off on the wrong foot here. I'm saving from cr2 to dng so the greyed out dialogue must be a default.

    My question should perhaps have been ~ when I open the dng files in Photoshop CC the dimensions are 3456 x 5184 pixels at 600dpi.

    Is it possible to change these settings in Lightroom or are they a default?

    Thanks in advance.
