Exporting Raw files from Lightroom

[Daylon]

Just curious -

In Lightroom, after you've done all your tweaking in Develop mode, what settings do you use to export your RAW file?

Tiff? PSD? DNG? JPG?
AdobeRGB or SRGB?
Resolution?

Usually I set it to automatically open in PS for any cropping or additional filters...

re-save as jpg and that's about it..

I've been using Lightroom for a short time. I have mine set for PSD, aRGB, 16 bit. I'll convert to sRGB if I'm outputting to the Web.

depends.
If I am going to photoshop for editing I will save as a .psd. If I am just saving to keep I will save them as a tiff. If is is going to the web sRBG.
I know that doesn't help much.
if you have to edit in photoshop you can right click the image and send it to photoshop when you get done in PS you can click the save button and it will save it and close PS and go back to lightroom.

Okay, so if you're saving for a client, what's your process?

Export as PSD, do filters / edits / cropping then convert to Tiff for printing? Or to 8 bit JPG?

I export as PSDs. 16bit, Prophoto colorspace... Do what I want in Photoshop and save back to PSD. For customers or labs, I have various actions that convert to 8bit, sRGB (for clients), aRGB (for my lab), and/or sRGB and "Fit to" saved for Web...

The only time I sell RAW and/or 16bit full rez TIFFs would be for a client that is specifically paying me to shoot for high res negatives. Not a normal event or wedding, etc..
