@@thomasfitzgerald Hi Thomas, useful video. I have a question - I noticed that your image is set to 600ppi. Wouldn't it allow people to steal and print your image assuming you are using 600ppi to post on insta?
@@vanessabeadling No. It's 600ppi but the image size (physical) if it was printed is tiny - in this case PPI is essentially a meaningless number as you're not printing it - its just to get the resolution up to the required amount on instagram while keeping the dimensions an easy to remember and work out number in the print module - and anyway - Instagram downsamples everything to the same size anyway - so t doesn't make any difference. You just want the resolution to be high enough so that instagram isn't upsampling. After that it doesn't really matter because Instagram resamples everything anyway and there's no way to get the original back off instagram. I hope that makes sense.
Hi Thomas, very grateful for your video and kudos! May I know why you suggest to set PPI to 600 or more when all the guidelines suggest to use 72PPI? Thanks a lot
Thank you very much for this. Very clear and to the point. I have one question. I usually export all my pics to my phone and post on instagram from there. The images have the date the photo was taken as well as the location information. With this method of exporting I don't get that info. The pictures are dated with the date I exported them on. Do you know of any way to keep that information? Thanks!
I'm not sure if there's any easy way to do this I'm afraid. I'll have a think about it but I don't think so. One of the downsides unfortunately. You'd probably have to rename them in Lightroom first
I cannot find the "Page setup" button as I only have "Print setup". Any hints on how to display this button? I am going insane! (I am on Windows though, for all that matters)
Thomas - thank you for this . . . . I am stumped because I am not exporting one image . . . . I am exporting 300 and trying to do it as a batch but it appears you have to name each photo exported individually? Can you explain how to print to file for a batch? Grazie.
You can just select multiple photos and make sure in the bottom of the print module window, under the main window, make sure it says Use: selected photos. When you export it will export multiple images. You can set this to "all filmstrip photos" and it will export everything from the current folder or collection. They'll be exported to a folder on your computer. Try it on a small few images first
Yes, there's a watermark feature in the print module. Just turn that on and it will watermark the image. If you want your watermark in the border rather than on the image, use the "identity plate" instead
When I export the file is extremely big and keeps crashing. Any tips how to make it smaller? I tried adjusting some of the sizes but it's still the same big file.
I'm so fucking confused. Every tutorial I see somebody has a different version of Lightroom. It's taken me an hour to find the print function in Lightroom. Whoever design the UI for this program needs a beating
To learn how to do this on Lightroom mobile see this video: th-cam.com/video/yVa3Wdhm_DU/w-d-xo.html
Thomas, your vids are the best. The vibe, the content, the pace, and the straight to the point approach. Thank you.
This is the best tutorial I have found so far. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!

I’m not sure. It’s called page setup on the Mac but it may be print setup on Windows. Sorry - I don’t have a pc to try it on.

hello, can you show how to make it in all photos at the same time please ? thank you...

@@thomasfitzgerald thanks!!!!! All right 👍🏻 it worked.
Cool how do you do this on a phone?

reduce the "file resolution" ppi. That should make the file smaller
But isn't the best Instagram format size 4x5? That would give us 102 x 127mm
Lightroom Classic you mean.

Good video though
