Hello, I'm Helen Bradley. Welcome to
this video tutorial. In this tutorial
I'm going to show you how you can bulk crop
and resize images and export them from
Lightroom.
A reader recently posed a question
to me and that was what do I do if I
need to crop all my images to 5 by
7 in size and get them out as
500 by 700 pixel images. In
Lightroom that's not that difficult to
do.
What I suggest you do is you do it from
the Library in Quick Develop mode. So
I'm going to select the images here
and then I'm going to select Crop Ratio
and I'm going to choose 5 by 7.
And that will crop all of these images
to 5 by 7 images.
But look what it's done with the
verticals. It's
cropped them to 5 by 7 but it's
kept
that same vertical alignment.
So now let's go to the Develop module and
just see what we're seeing here.
This is the crop marquee.
And you can see that this image,
each one of these images in fact has
been cropped to 5 by 7. And let's
go and find a vertical crop
and see how it's been cropped. Again, it's
been cropped to 5 by 7 but in a
vertical direction. So this means that
all of these images have
automatically been cropped. All we would do is
have a quick look and make sure that
important parts of the image have not
been cropped off. If these were people
we'd have a quick check to make sure that
somebody's head hasn't been chopped off
for example.
And having done that now knowing that
everything is cropped to 5 by
7, to export these images at 500
by 700 pixels in size
or 700 by 500
we would select all of them by
clicking on the first and Shift click on
the last.
I'm going to right click and choose
Export and then Export again
and we would just set up the Export
option. So here I'm going to put this
in a folder
called 5 by 7.
I don't want to rename these files. All we
want to do is to resize them. But what I
do want to do is I want to select
Resize to Fit. And the longest edge
since I know that these are all 5
by 7s
is going to be 700 pixels and
the resolution I can set to 100
pixels per inch.
So these are then going to be 5 by
7 images at 100 pixels per
inch resolution. And all I need to do is
to click Export
and Lightroom is going ahead and it is
cropping and resizing all of those
images so that they are all going to be
the exact right size that we chose. And
here they are
including
the ones that were verticals. You can see
that these are 500 by
700 pixels in size. This one is 700
by 500 because it's a
landscape image.
So in Lightroom you could batch resize
and export these images in just
a matter of a few seconds
by just choosing the right option. And that
is here in the Quick Develop module
setting a crop ratio for those images.
This is not something you can do
easily in the Develop module, but it's
something that you can do very, very
simply here in the Quick Develop
area of the Library in Lightroom.
