hi guys

Im editing some wedding photos in lightroom and when ive done i need to export them, they are going to be on a usb stick for the couple.

What settings shall i export at? We used 3 camera bodys and different lenses etc

Shall i hit the rezise to fit box and then save bia megapixels (if so what megapixels?), qaulity at 100? 350ppi?

I dont want to crop them all as i want them to view on usb and then they will be coming back with so many for prints which i will then open up the catalog and resize the pictures theyd like.

Whichever bodies captured the shots is pretty irrelevant.
There are two ways to publish mainly: web and print.

Web
Chose a final viewing format, say 1200 px long side JPG @ 72 ppi.

Print
@ 300 ppi, export the final version in JPG at 100% so to have the
freedom to print any usual prints sizes as the lab will resize to order.

Arr brill, they are all going on a usb, so just do 100% and save? No need to click resize to fit?

Thank you

What shall i save them all at for the usb? I have lots of pictures to add on the usb stick for them to view but i dont know if i should be clicking the resize to fit and adding a dpi and a megapixel?

I just need to save the 100s of photos.
 
sorry ignore my last post I've not had much sleep lol

I've just re read and I understand, clicking the resize to fit is just for prints :)

so sorry for my confusion
