exporting images to rightmove

[scottm82642885]

Hello All

I am exporting clear property images to Expert Agent which is Estate Agency software in the Uk and they then send the image to Rightmove, the trouble is they are clear on Lightroom when i am enlarging the image but when i have sent it to Rightmove it looks cloudy and pixelated?

I have been told that Rightmove like the image to be 1024 x 683 pixels which is how i am exporting the image but it still apperas blurry!

Can anyone please tell me the best pixel, file size and compression for this kind of property software, its driving me made.

I want to export my images as clear as i can see them on Lightroom and see the same clarity on the property portals.

Thankyou in advance for any help guys!!

If you are exporting to a specific size then you must not be using the new Lightroom CC (the cloud-based Lightroom) which is what this forum is geared to. What is the exact version of Lightroom you are using?

I dont hink i am using the new cloud based version, would this make a difference do you think?

Since you're talking about Export and specifying an exact size for your photo, I'm going to assume you're using Lightroom Classic (which has modules - Library, Develop, etc). Classic has a Quality setting - you probably have it set too low so too much JPEG compression is being applied. You should be fine with a quality setting of 70 for small images like that - but check them after export to be sure. The only harm in choosing a larger Quality setting is that your file size will be larger (in MB).

(You say that they like 1024x683 but then ask for advice on size, so I'm not clear on what you're asking, but I don't know anything about RightMove.)

As a side note, if they want exactly 1024x683 and you specify this in the Export dialog, you'll only get that size if your original photo is exactly the same proportions as this. If not, you'll have to crop to these proportions in the Develop module before export. (In the crop tool, click on the dropdown next to the padlock and choose Enter Custom, and then type in 1024 and 683, and then crop.)
