Exporting an Image

As you work with digital images, at some point you’ll reach a point where saving a file is a good idea.  It might be an in-progress save to capture work to date as you edit a photo.  Perhaps it’s to prepare a file for printing or sharing on the Internet.  Or maybe export to social media.  Luminar offers many different options for saving and exporting images to meet your needs.

When you are ready to export a finished image, you can choose Export…  

1. To save your files as a picture that you can post or send it somebody,  go to the File menu and choose Export. 
2. A dialog box will appear that will let you choose where you want to save your photo and what format you want to save it as. Luminar can save a variety of popular formats including JPEG, TIFF, and Photoshop. 
3. To save a file you can share with family, clients, or upload to the web, select JPEG and adjust the quality slider to about 85. 
4. Click the Save button to write the file.

*Tip:
High-quality Archives. To archive a photo, save it as a TIFF file. TIFF files preserve all the details and colors in an image and are great for printing.
