Hi!

Terry, I just watched your podcast on Scott's website from Wednesday using Lightroom/iPhoto. Question:

When you export to those specific x,y dimensions, are you changing the crop of those images you are exporting? Will the exported image look different than the original?

Second question:
When exporting in general, and specifying resolution, what is the ORIGINAL resolution of the RAW image before you export it? For example, if I want something to be huge, and I export it with specs to BE huge, am I interpolating data to MAKE it huge? Should I know the x,y size of my sensor in pixels...and is this the true size of my original image? Would this be like re-rezing the image in PS?

Thanks!

(Note: I moved this from a previous post into it's proper locale)

Thom,

1) When specifying export dimensions, you are specifying the MAX dimension that can be used, not the actual size. For example let's say that your original image is 4256x2832 and you wanted to do an export for email purposes that is no bigger than 800x800. When you export this image with a max of 800x800 size, your image will be 800x532. So it will not be cropped or stretched.

2) When in RAW format effectively there is no set resolution. You have x number of pixels in a RAW file and that's it. Resolution is only applicable for the file you create from the RAW file.
