Lightroom5 file sizes..

[Admiral Huddy]

Can someone help. I might be just getting my knickers in a big twist.

When exporting my final work to .JPG I untick all the export boxes including the resize assuming this will export to the largest size..

However, when I checked the image size in elements, some, not all the images comes back with 6 x 4 inches with a 300dpi. which means i loose DPI when i increase the file file size. I don't want Lightroom to decide this for me.

The reason I ask is that i have a number of images that need printing 6" x 9" with a DPI of 300.

In elements, before i picked up Lightroom on trial, I just worked with the saved the maximum size but lightroom seems to be doing it's own thing.

How can i make light room produced larger JPGs to let me decided later?

Hope that makes sense.

Thanks

Thanks Raymond..

That's what i thought.. as the image resize box is unticked but when checking the image size in Elements, it's come back with a 6" x 4" exported file.. if i increase the size to 6 x 9 it it od course looses looses dpi?? I'm now starting to wonder if this is something to do with the trial version.

Do you use Lightroom Raymond? No problems? I don't mind buying it but i need top know I can print my images at the correct quality.

Thanks for that Raymod. I've tried a few more since and it's worked fine. I'm guessing i made a mistake somewhere..
