Funny story –
We got an email here at Photzy from one of our members asking questions about printing their photos at home using Lightroom and at photo lab. They were having some serious problems.
I handed it over to Kent DuFault, as he is our resident expert on these things.
He called me several hours later, and said, “OMG! You would not believe how long it took me to figure out how to make a borderless print on my home printer in Lightroom!” (Turns out he is more of a Photoshop guy.)
We had a good talk about his experience, and I told him, “You need to write us a guide about this. Maybe you could answer all of this member’s questions in the guide?
So he did.
Here is what you will learn:
- The differences of ppi and dpi
- How to identify the pixel count of an image file in Lightroom
- How to determine how many pixels are needed for any given sized photographic print
- Some ideas on how to safely share your photographs online
- How to make a borderless print on your home printer using Lightroom~~~~~~~~~ (hahahahaha)
- How to properly size an image for a photographic print using Lightroom
- How to export an image in Lightroom in preparation for sending it to a photo lab
Do yourself a favor. Read this guide and save yourself a headache!
