Hi all,
When I select "percentage" in the export module, it doesn't work properly. Lightroom seems to keep values from another option (ie. dimension). If no other option was setup before, the export gerenate a full size image (event if a % number is filled).
Any help.
Actually, on further testing if you choose Long Edge and leave the value BLANK for the edge length than the Percentage doesn't work either. This is the same scenario as your example. If you fill in BOTH the WIDTH and HEIGHT when using "Width & Height" option than the "Percentage" option will work correctly. The bug apparently is caused by leaving the values BLANK when choosing a resize option.

Hi oliviers64960396,
Sorry the export option to export with the percentage resolution doesn't work as expected.
Could you please let us know the exact version of Lightroom you're using? Also, what file type are you exporting? A full screen capture of Lightroom export window showing all the option would be really helpful. Something like this:
Thanks,

Hi Akash,
Thx for your answer and your help.
Here we go:
Sys info
Lightroom Classic CC 7.4 Raw 10.4
OS X High Sierra
Original image size: 4000x4000
Export format: JPEG
Step 1
Export without filling any field
All fields in all options leaved blank (except for Megapixel option that cannot be blank)
Export size: 4000x4000
Step 2
Percentage export: 50%
ALL previous setting are blank (Dimension, width+Height, etc.) except percentage
Export size: 4000x4000
Step 3.1
Width export: 100px
Export size: 100x100
Step 3.2
Percentage export: 50%
The width is preserved at 100px THEN choice is made in percentage and fixed at 50%
Percentage export size: 100x100 (instead of 2000x2000)
Hope it helps.

I followed your scenario and I could duplicate the bug. This was starting with "Width & Height"
If I started with "Long Edge" or "Short Edge" than changing to "Percentage" worked as it should. I didn't test the other two options.
Odd bug.

Bob,
You are absolutely right. I just did the test: I put 100px in all fields (dimension, width-height) and THEN I chose 'percentage' with a value of 50%.
My output file was 2000x2000.
Bingo!
😉

First of all, if you want an image exported at 4000 x 4000 pixels it will need to be cropped to be square. It doesn't matter what the dimensions of the master image are. Then in the export dialog set the dimensions to the long edge to be 4000 pixels. Don't worry about the percentage. If you want the image to be 2000 pixels set the long edge to be 2000 pixels. Again, don't worry about the percentage. If you want the image to be 1000 pixels, set the long edge to be 1000 pixels. Again, forget about the percentage setting. Crop the image to be a square and then export by just setting one of the dimensions that you need.

Jim,
I think the issue here is that there is a BUG in the Export function when the needed values are left BLANK. See my post 5. It is an easy bug to replicate so should be easy to fix.

This is a user to user forum so Adobe likes all bugs reported here Photoshop Family Customer Community Just explain in enough detail what the bug is and then provide a link back to this thread. It will then probably be noted by the Adobe Engineers. I know it is kind of a pain to post in two spots but that is the way Adobe wants it. Glad we got is resolved for you. This was an odd bug!!

In my opinion it would be good customer support from Adobe to file bugs found on this User-to-User forum to their other forum, instead of just leaving it to the user.
I mean, it's already quite a frustration to hit to a bug in their product and take the time to explain it here. I'd say the user has already done his/her job and any documentation / organisation needs should be taken care by Adobe.
We do pay them several hundreds each year to develop their software. I don't think we should be doing their job in documenting / organising.

We were able to reproduce this on macOS 10.13 but not on Win10. We ahve logged a bug for the same.

Percentaged export still doesn't work...whatever the value entered it exports full size.
I edit JPGs, export to JPG and the long edge setting is not optimal for me, i need a percentage resize so I don't need to get my batches in preview and resize there after LR export.
LR Classic 9.3, OSX 10.15.6

Works OK for me on Lr9.3 and macos 10.15.6. Using 50% will export a batch of photos at half the dimensions.
