Do not fear the JPG.Īs I perused the various FAQ sections of popular print services, I commonly saw that Level 10 quality from Photoshop as suggested JPG compression amount to be used when saving your photos. Billions and billions of JPG images are shared, uploading, download, printed, viewed, bought, and sold each year. It basically does a very good job (at high quality settings) of reducing file size by throwing out some of the image data (and at high quality levels, we shouldn’t see any visible degradation). The main problem people have with JPG is the type of compression used by the algorithm. You might shoot in raw, edit and save as TIF or PSD, but when it comes time to deliver keep it simple and safe and choose JPG on the Export dialog when saving out of Lightroom.
It should come as no surprise that JPG is the most widely supported and recommended file format to choose when sending your photos to be printed. Those are the aspects of this process that Lightroom Classic can help you address.
Do your photos have enough pixels to print well at the desired print size?.One other recommendation I’ll make is that once you select your print provider (or while you are investigating options), be sure to check out the support section of that provider’s website, as any good service will provide the criteria they know will give you the best results. Let’s dig into the decisions you’ll need to make regarding the Lightroom Classic prep side of the process.
