If the image is bound for the web, set the measurement field to Pixels and enter 800 to export an image that is 800 pixels wide on its longest edge, whether that’s height or width, and then leave Resolution at its default value. A handy option here is Long Edge, as it lets you resize both landscape and portrait oriented images at the same size.

If you want to resize the image, expand the Image Sizing section and turn on Resize to Fit. To do that, select several thumbnails by Shift or Command-clicking them and then choose File > Export or, if you’re in the Library module, click the Export button at lower left.

You can use it to rename, resize, change file format (say, from raw to JPEG), sharpen, and add a watermark to photos en masse. When you use the Export command, Lightroom generates a copy of the photo(s) with all your edits intact. Here the watermark name includes point size and location-BR for bottom right. From this point forward, your watermark preset is available in the Slideshow, Print, and Web modules, as well as the Export dialog box, which is discussed next. If you’d like, use the Rotate buttons to swing the watermark around so it runs up the side of your photo.Ĭlick Save and in the resulting dialog box, enter a descriptive name, such as “2016 12pt BR” and click Create. Scoot the watermark away from the edges of the photo by entering 3 into the Horizontal and Vertical fields in the Inset section, and then use the Anchor icon to position the watermark wherever you want. The Proportional option instructs Lightroom to resize the watermark so it looks the same no matter what dimensions you export the photo at. Choose Proportional in the Size section and use the slider to pick a size (say, 12).

In the Watermark Effects panel, set Opacity to around 70.
