If you don&#8217;t need to enlarge the photo, check the box \u201cDon&#8217;t enlarge\u201d to make sure that Lightroom won&#8217;t do it. Remember that enlarging always decreases the image quality. In the drop-down menu you can choose between several resizing options.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p> Best answer for this question, what size should I export photos from <strong>Lightroom<\/strong> for <strong>printing<\/strong>? As a thumb rule, you can set it at 300ppi for smaller prints (6\u00d74 and 8\u00d75 inches prints). For high-quality prints, choose higher photo printing resolutions. Always make sure that the image resolution in Adobe Lightroom export settings for print matches with the print image size.<\/p>\n<p>Amazingly, how do I <strong>resize<\/strong> a photo to 8&#215;10 in <strong>Lightroom<\/strong>? <iframe style=\"margin-top:25px;width:100%;height:420px;\" width=\"auto\" height=\"auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cx-pT5E7z2Q\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Correspondingly, how do I change print size in Lightroom?
