I ask because when you export in Lightroom CC, called "save to," the only parameter you can adjust is the pixels. Nothing else that I can see. In other versions of Lightroom you get a whole bunch of parameters to adjust, including DPI. Clients specify sometimes the settings that they want. Or another possibility is that I'm doing it wrong, and if so, could someone let me know how to export and adjust things like DPI.

This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled Lightroom: Mobile Color Space serious exporting issues!.
Hey Team!
This issue is Ultra frustrating and I can't believe I'm spending my entire day figuring this out, I would appreciate it if you could take the time to read this post and discuss this issue
Your software LR CC has some serious color space issues depending on which device you export from, The way the color reacts to social media is different, the image color and gamma is different it's a total mess guys and gals...
Ideally, I would share my edits straight from LR CC to my friends or clients using the Share Function and online gallery however
The images and respectively.. the color to be exact do not correctly/accurately translate into social media services such as Instagram or export correctly full stop from LR it'self at all depending on the device you export from... LR CC has no redundancy between apps and devices what so ever!
I wanna say now that I love LR CC and LR classic and the way CC works between devices with presets is incredible, I love taking pictures editing on my lightweight Ipad then fishing them off on my phone... but this issue is beyond stupid
-What's the main issue TLDR-
--Instagram / Social media format problems--
Below is an "sRGB jpeg" image exported through Lightroom CC (Desktop) and imported into Instagram.
This is exactly how I edited the image in LR CC/Classic
This is the exact same "sRGB Jpeg" image exported from Lightroom CC (Mobile - Pixel 2 XL) instead and then imported into Instagram... and it is definitely not How I edited the image almost like it's an AdobeRGB Image being transformed
Here is the same comparison of the same images next to each other
Both images were imported into Instagram through the same phone (Pixel 2 XL) as the exact same image (Jpeg sRGB) but the only difference was I exported the image from LRCC from Desktop on one, and mobile on the other
Exported from LR CC Mobile Ipad Pro, this one is tough to see but when you see the change in person it's big, Original image is a .ARW raw image above is as edited once into Instagram you see the colors change (Once again no problem when exporting from desktop CC)
Same as above but with Pixel 2 XL, Colors fade badly! but once again this issue dosnt occur if you export the same way from Desktop LR CC
--LR CC ISSUES EXPORTING--
This issue is LRCC it's self and not Instagram related, Mobile Pixel 2 XL can't export .ARW files correctly at all, left is as seen on Mobile right is after export
Wrong color format once again between devices, see below image to see output colour
Ipad Pro LR CC - Color Representation "Uncalibrated"
Pixel 2 XL LR CC - Color Representation "....."
Desktop LR CC - Color Representation "sRGB"
Before you say this is an Instagram problem, it's not because any image exported from LR Classic or LR CC Desktop as Jpeg sRGB will load perfect 1:1 into Instagram, it's purely the way LR CC Mobile exports Jpeg images from other devices.
LR CC is ultra inconsistent in how it treats color after export depending on the device I seem to use and exports weird formats that don't work well with social services such as Instagram
All I can say is that if you export from Desktop LR CC you will get the best color, the best resolution (DESPITE picking maximum on all devices) and a working image for Instagram with no problem 10/10 times, with Ipad or Mobile phone it's a gamble
I won't go into how a "Maximum resolution export" on mobile isn't even the same size as a "Maximum resolution export" on LR CC Desktop...
Please please look into this because It adds so much headache trying to share photos to Mobile and desktop users when you're already using LR CC it's got sharing functions built-in but the exporting of color is wrong

-What's the main issue TLDR-
- Lightroom CC Exports sRGB, or RAW files color space and gamma visually wrong straight out of LR CC depending on the device you use (Desktop or mobile)
- Lightroom CC Exports sRGB, or RAW files color space and gamma correctly visually but in the wrong format so once imported into Instagram (Example) the colors will transform incorrectly cause the format must be wrong

Using Lightroom desktop (cloud version), your choices are original format or JPEG. You have no options for size. But on the output dialog there is a place for you to specify the folder. Lightroom Classic has more options, but that's another program and another story.

I had hoped that I could send my old IMac into retirement because of my new IPad Pro but apparently it will have to assist me for some more time. But thank you for your idea on the folders.
This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled Lightroom mobile: Export options.
Currently there is only 2 resolution options when sharing your images in Lightroom mobile (i.e. small - 2048px and max available) which makes the app completely useless. There needs to be a feature which allows you to edit export settings. I don’t even have a laptop anymore but only an iPad Pro and this needs fixing asap. For example, sharing images on social media makes it impossible because you can’t adapt resolution and upon upload the image will be compressed. Please fix this.

Great to see Android got this feature. Unfortunately, the latest Lightroom update for iOS didn't get this feature.

It will, it just didn't quite make the cut off. The fact it's made it to the desktop and Android means it's only a matter of time.
Well, to be fair, that's not really a reference for some other missing features. But they now seem to have published a blog which indeed mentions iOS will get it soon, which is great news! One step in the right direction!
Victoria, that's exactly what people are complaining about. This is probably one of the most requested feature on here and is two years old.
And yet, when you read the release note:
And yet, when you read the release note:
• Contextual Help: Learn more about the editing tools at any time with the new built-in help. Tap on the new ? icon at the top of the app’s interface while editing a photo to see examples of that tool, how to find it, and learn about related tools.There's only one update answering requests: Batch Editing. All other features are "good to have" but I bet not many peaople asked for it and I don't see why Adobe is focusing on tutorials instead of it's core functions and user's requests (+ bugs).• Expanded Interactive Tutorials: Specific tutorials now include the Radial Gradient and Spot Healing Brush, providing even more engaging and empowering content.
• Tutorial Author Pages: Like an author’s tutorial? Tap on their name to see all of the tutorials and posts that they’ve made!
• [Premium] Batch Editing: Easily apply the same adjustments to multiple images with batch editing by copying edits from one photo and pasting to a series of similar photos.
• [Premium] Support for the latest cameras and lenses found in the Adobe Camera Raw 12.0 release (the full list of supported cameras and lenses can be found at http://www.adobe.com/go/supported_cameras).

Exactly my frustration as well Antoine. They haven't added a notable feature in over a year to iOS (except for batch editing now). It's also hard to understand why they add all these features to Android first, while the tablet market is dominated by iOS. It makes zero sense to me to be honest.
Victoria Bampton - Lightroom Queen, Champion
We are not the only user group for the mobile apps Antoine. Many of the people using the app are not of the experience level to post here. There are multiple ways that feature requests are fed to the teams who make the decisions.
Indeed, but people here want to improve LR and spend their own time reporting bugs and suggesting improvements... for free! Adobe should listen to its core users instead of making “tutorials”. If they want to target Photos or Google photos, that’s not our business!! Tutorials are not what people are paying for, and there are great tutorials to be found, isn’t it?
Jeroen Van Nieuwenhove Mobile does NOT mean "tablets" only. There are many people using Lightroom Mobile on their smartphones as well. That being said Android is the "dominant" Mobile OS in the world. So, it makes perfect sense for Adobe to release some features first on the "dominant" Mobile OS and I hope they will keep doing that!

Ive tried using the latest LR mobile for Andriod with the new export functionality, but it is neither exporting with the SRGB tag nor with the color profile embedded. Can someone else help to verify this? Doesn't seem to be working. I've tried SRGB and even Adobe RGB settings
Victoria Bampton - Lightroom Queen, Champion
I reported the same yesterday. Can I get you to create a separate thread, and I'll tie an internal bug report to it so you're notified of the fix.
Sure
