“Choose Folder Later” also lets you specify the final destination for your exported files, but only as the last step in the export process. “Specific Folder” lets you set the destination for your exported files by clicking the “Choose” button and navigating to the desired location for your images in the ensuing browser. The two choices I use most often are “Specific Folder” and “Choose Folder Later”.


To select multiple contiguous images, click on the first desired photo, and Shift-click on the last one in the series. Get started by selecting the image or images you want to export.

If you find yourself using the same export settings frequently, you can save them as presets to reuse again and again. When you export photos, you create new versions of your files that include Lightroom adjustments. How do you create a version of your image that’s suitable for social media, email, or printing? In Lightroom, you don’t save photos in the traditional sense. It’s both librarian and technician for your digital images, and unlike Photoshop, it leaves your original photo untouched throughout the entire editing process. Lightroom is a near-magical piece of software.
