Exporting from Lightroom

[Diana]

I have been reading a lot about exporting photos from LR and am a bit confused. I export them as a tiff file as I still tweak them in Topaz Studio. I would would be interested to know how and why others export from LR or PS. Thanks.

I do my basic edits in Lightroom, then if I want to do anything further I open it in photoshop via Lightroom. When the edits are finished, I save them, which creates a copy in Lightroom. I then export as a .jpg from Lightroom

@yorkshirekiwi Thanks Carole :-)

My workflow is exactly the same as Carole. If I want to do something in Topaz or Nik I access them from PS as plug-ins from the filter menu.

I had been using an older version of PhotoShop (5.7) that no longer recognized the RAW files straight from my camera. I would either edit them in Lightroom then export them as PSD files where I raised the resolution to 300 px or I would occasionally export them as DNG Digital Negative where I would tweak them as a DNG as they opened in PhotoShop. Now that I have upgraded to Lightroom Classic and PhotoShop 2022, PhotoShop recognizes my RAW files and I don't export them. I just open them as a RAW file in PhotoShop after first processing them in Lightroom.

@cdcook48 @skipt07 Many thanks for your input, it is very similar to what I do :-)
