Picture size in lightroom

9 years 8 months ago #391651 by butterflygirl921
I am trying to change the size of a lot of photos I need them down to 2mb for my website and im sick of having to go one by one in photoshop to shrink them.  Is there anyway i can just shrink them all at once when i export them out of lightroom? If anyone could help me i would greatly appreciate it.  :cheer:

Wow, you are wasting your time. There is never any need to resize any image, ever, if you're using LR. Right click on the image (developer or library module) and choose "Export.." from the menu. The dialog that appears has a file size section that allows you to decide how big the generated file will be. It's quite flexible.

In my experience the file size choice under-shoots by quite a bit.  So if you really want a 2Mb file, try setting that at 2500Kb.

Thank you guys.  The only reason I need them that small is for my website.  My website won't let me upload anything bigger than 2mb
