how to make a raw file to jpg using adobe lightroom?

12 years 6 months ago #157303 by bhless
I entered a photography contest wherein the requirement is 2-8mb at 300dpi file size. Im using a adobe lightroom, which my friend recommended, he said it can convert raw to jpg. My main concern is if im going to convert a raw file to jpg and want it to be a bigger file like let say 7mb original size is 2 mb, should I change the pixels of the dimension and just put it in 300 dpi?

Go to Library, select the file and click "Export".

All your export options are there.

"Image Sizing" is the one you want to play with.

However, converting to jpeg will most definitely result in a smaller file size as you're compressing the data (jpeg is a compressed format). So don't think you have to increase the file size to fit the competition. Just export full size and 300 dpi with 100% quality. They won't mind it being less than 2MB I'm sure.

Good luck in the comp. :D

:agree: Don't worry about making the file size huge. This is a photo contest afterall, not a submission to a publishing company who will be using the photo for banner printing. As you see the min requirements is 2mb, that means someone who took a photo with their cell phone can enter the contest. So don't worry about the size. Just enter your best photo. Good Luck! :thumbsup:
