I am using Lightroom 5 for my photo editing. Currently, I export the images to a folder and then import them to 365 from the folder. For some reason, i am having issues with the physical dimensions of my images being small (not the file size). Has anyone had any experience with this? Does anyone have any tips of eliminating this issue when importing to 365?
I do not the exact size that project365 resizes images to if theory are too big. I have heard others mention this in other threads. I resize my images to 600 DPI on the long side before uploading o project365 with no problems of being cropped.
you are currently uploading your pics at 500 pixels on the long edge which is too small you need to upload at 1024 or larger. When you export out of lightroom check the resize to fit long edge and set it at at least 1024 pixels
Resize it to exactly 1024 on the long side then do your final output sharpening. That way 365 will leave the "large" image untouched, the one that is shown in "View Large" against the black background. It's pointless to resize it any larger, 365 throws it all away and does its own reduction/sharpening.
@chapjohn dpi has no effect on Internet display John, it's just the number of pixels that counts. The resolution of your screen determines the "dpi" for display. 1024 pixels on the long side is what 365 stores, no more.
@chapjohn@digitalrogue@frankhymus Do any of you know if there is a better way than my current import photos from Lightroom to 365? Is there a way to do it directly? I'd like to avoid having to resize photos.
@trishaford I'm not sure if lightroom differs from photoshop here, but in photoshop under File, you have an option to "Save for web". When you do this you can resize the file on the bottom right corner very easily (to 1024 obviously). You will still have to save it into a file on your computer. But when you upload you can just grab the file straight from your folder location. I hope this helps :)
