Not having a PS-style 'save for web' preview, Lightroom exports have been totally 'blind' for me until now – I just never found the time to do these tests. The last two (seed and wood panel) shots demonstrate two crucial factors that I only half understood before. First, we need to be extra careful (+HQ) with files containing large OOF areas (likewise grads and blends) cos they'll be the first to block up; second, thoughtless, overdone image compression can be just as destructive as clumsy, overdone NR processing. Oh and third: I don't feel half as crazy for carrying a monopod everywhere ;) Thanks and best wishes Mick Stephenson, New Zealand I’m more than just grateful for this; it’s a real eye-opener, saved me hours of trial-and-error and ended a period of blind guesswork that was really bugging me.
