Publishing with LR\/Instagram The publish process is fundamentally the same as any other Lightroom publish service. Drag the photos you want to use from the Library onto the \u201cInstagram photos\u201d collection in the publish service panel. &#8230; The photos will then be uploaded directly to Instagram.<\/p>\n<p>As many you asked, what size should I <strong>export<\/strong> photos from <strong>Lightroom<\/strong> for Instagram? When you&#8217;re exporting images from <strong>Lightroom<\/strong> to Instagram, make sure you&#8217;re exporting the image with a width of 1080 pixels. This will ensure you get a high-quality image.<\/p>\n<p>In this regard, how do I post from <strong>Lightroom<\/strong> Classic to my <strong>Instagram<\/strong>? Post to Instagram Directly Using Lightroom Mobile Find the photo you want to post, click the share icon and then pass the photo to <strong>Instagram<\/strong>. (Note for iOS users, you will get better results by using the \u201cCopy to \u2026\u201d option. This will open up Instagram so you can access additional posting features.)<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Sharpen your image first before exporting.<\/li>\n<li>Use a 4:5 crop.<\/li>\n<li>Image format: JPEG.<\/li>\n<li>Quality: 100.<\/li>\n<li>Color space: sRGB.<\/li>\n<li>No limit on file size.<\/li>\n<li>Resize to fit: Width &#038; Height, Don&#8217;t enlarge, W = 2160px H = blank.<\/li>\n<li>Resolution: default, 72 pixels per inch.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>How do you increase the quality of a picture on Instagram?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Your images lose quality when uploaded.  <\/li>\n<li>Why do my images lose quality?  <\/li>\n<li>Reduce the file size.  <\/li>\n<li>Transfer images correctly to your smartphone.  <\/li>\n<li>Update your Instagram App.  <\/li>\n<li>Your pictures look pixilated when printed.  <\/li>\n<li>Do not take photos via Instagram.  <\/li>\n<li>Print directly from your smartphone.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I link Instagram to Lightroom?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"width:100%;height:420px;\" width=\"auto\" height=\"auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EisymlXKx2Q\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I use the Instagram app for Lightroom?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>On iOS, tap From Camera Roll, and select a photo to open it for editing. On Android, select a photo and tap Add; then locate the photo in All Photos or an album, and tap the photo to open it for editing. Crop the photo to square format in Lightroom, so the photo will look the way you want it on Instagram.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I share photos from Lightroom CC to Instagram?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>This is a known issue but we have found an easy workaround: Choose photo in Lightroom to share Tap the Share icon at the top of the screen Tap \u201cShare to\u201d Navigate to the Instagram icon and long press the icon Choose \u201cOpen in app\u201d At his point you can complete your post to Instagram.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I stop Instagram from messing up quality?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Try to keep your image file size to a minimum (without affecting image quality) to avoid having it be poorly compressed by Instagram. Last but not least, Instagram is predominantly a mobile-based app, and as such prioritises uploads from mobile (or tablet) devices when it comes to quality.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How should I export my photos from Lightroom?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Select photos from the Grid view to export.  <\/li>\n<li>Choose File > Export, or click the Export button in the Library module.  <\/li>\n<li>(Optional) Choose an export preset.  <\/li>\n<li>Specify a destination folder, naming conventions, and other options in the various Export dialog box panels.  <\/li>\n<li>(Optional) Save your export settings.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Why is Instagram quality so bad?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>The principal reason for the low quality of Instagram pictures is the compression algorithm of the platform. It decreases the data on your photos to reduce the size they need in their data centers. &#8230; Because of that, the compression algorithm is the first cause of poor photo quality on Instagram.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>What is a Lightroom plugin?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Plugins, on the other hand, are software add-ons that allow you to add new features to Lightroom or use other programs through Lightroom. Both presets and plugins add to Adobe Lightroom&#8217;s tools, features and functionality.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I import photos from Lightroom to my phone?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Do one of the following: Open the image, that you want to export, in the Loupe view. In the Grid view, long press any photo to select it and bring up the multi-selection view.  <\/li>\n<li>Tap icon in the upper-right corner.<\/li>\n<li>In the pop-up menu that appears, tap Save to Device.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do you upload high quality videos to Instagram?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>To upload the highest possible quality video to Instagram, you&#8217;ll want to post your video to IGTV instead of your standard grid. IGTV offers a much better resolution and bitrate than the traditional method for uploads.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getting your photos out of Lightroom is as easy as Shift + Cmd (or Ctrl on a PC) + E or going up to File \u2014> Export.
