plugin allows you to quickly see the results\nof exporting an image at each of the JPEG quality settings that Lightroom\nsupports.<\/p>\n\n<p>This plugin works in Lightroom Classic, and older versions as far back as\n<span class='nobr'>Lightroom 3<\/span>, though some features depend on the\nversion of Lightroom.<\/p>\n\n<p>The same download works for both Windows and Mac. <span class='nobr'>See the box<\/span> to the upper right for the download link (in orange) and installation instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Exporting an image as a JPEG involves a compromise between file size and\nimage quality. With many images, image quality does not increase\nappreciably with the last few steps in quality, but those last few steps\nincur a sharp increase in file size.  Depending on your needs, you may\nwant to forego the final miniscule smidgen in quality to save a doubling of the file size.<\/p>\n\n<p>Or, perhaps, not.<\/p>\n\n<p>In either case, being able to see, explicitly, the specific results with\na specific image makes your decision more informed.<\/p>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n  .state { white-space: nowrap; color: #F88 }\n  div.post_guts td:first-child { font-weight: bold; padding-right:1em }\n  div.post_guts td p:first-child { margin-top: 0 }\n  div.post_guts .h { font-weight:bold; font-size:130%; margin-top:70px }\n<\/style>\n\n<p class='h'>Introduction<\/p>\n\n<p>This plugin is a companion to my detailed writeup:<\/p>\n\n<center>\n&#8220;<a style='font-size:110%; font-weight:bold' class='pt' href='\/blog\/lightroom-goodies\/jpeg-quality'>An Analysis of Lightroom JPEG Export Quality Settings<\/a>&#8221;\n<\/center>\n\n<p>Please see that writeup for an overview of the meaning of JPEG quality settings within Lightroom.<\/p>\n\n<p style='margin-top:40px'>Here's what this plugin does:<\/p>\n\n<ol>\n<li>Exports a copy of the image at each of the 13 JPEG quality settings that Lightroom supports.<\/li>\n<li>Exports a lossless TIFF of the image.<\/li>\n<li>Optionally, imports those copies back into Lightroom, making it easy to immediately inspect the results.<\/li>\n<li>Optionally, show in Finder\/Explorer the folder where the exported copies were placed, making it easier to immediately inspect the results with an external viewer.<\/li>\n<li>Optionally, display a dialog reporting the sizes of each of the JPEG copies (seen in the opening image above).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p style='margin-top:40px'>Selecting a photo and invoking &#8220;<b>File &gt; Plugin Extras &gt; Launch Export Quality Tests<\/b>&#8221; brings up\na dialog:<\/p>\n\n<div class='ic'><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/i\/lrp\/export-quality-tester-dialog.png\" width='653' height='469' class=\"raw\"\/><\/div>\n\n<p>The various copies created by the plugin have filenames indicating\ntheir quality. For example, applying this plugin to my master image\n&#8220;JF7_031729.NEF&#8221; produces the 14 new image copies:<\/p>\n\n<pre style='margin-left:3em; font-size:95%'>\nJF7_031729--lossless.tif\nJF7_031729--qual=000-007.jpg\nJF7_031729--qual=008-015.jpg\nJF7_031729--qual=016-023.jpg\nJF7_031729--qual=024-030.jpg\nJF7_031729--qual=031-038.jpg\nJF7_031729--qual=039-046.jpg\nJF7_031729--qual=047-053.jpg\nJF7_031729--qual=054-061.jpg\nJF7_031729--qual=062-069.jpg\nJF7_031729--qual=070-076.jpg\nJF7_031729--qual=077-084.jpg\nJF7_031729--qual=085-092.jpg\nJF7_031729--qual=093-100.jpg\n<\/pre>\n\n\n<p>The &#8220;filename-base suffix&#8221; option lets you ensure unique filenames in\ncase you run the plugin on the same image more than once. For example, you\nmight leave it blank for full-sized copies, but enter &#8220;small&#8221; when testing\nthe quality on reduced-size copies of the same image, or perhaps &#8220;crop&#8221; for\ntesting a crop of the image. Running these three examples would produce 42 new images (14 for each of the three),\namong them these &#8220;quality 39 through 46&#8221; copies:<\/p>\n\n<pre style='margin-left:3em; font-size:95%; color:#888'>\nJF7_031729--qual=039-046.jpg\nJF7_031729<span style='color:white'>small<\/span>--qual=039-046.jpg\nJF7_031729<span style='color:white'>crop<\/span>--qual=039-046.jpg\n<\/pre>\n\n<p class='h'>Post Processing<\/p>\n\n<p>After the plugin creates the various copies, you can have them imported back into Lightroom for easy inspection.\nIn Lightroom 3 or later, for even more convenience, they're brought into a collection along with the original:<\/p>\n\n<div class='ic'><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/i\/lrp\/export-quality-tester-colleciton.png\" width='800' height='226' class=\"raw\"\/><\/div>\n\n<p>You can also have a small dialog that reports the various sizes, as seen in the first image at the top of this post.<\/p>\n\n<p>The post-processing options are disabled if the plugin has not been registered after the six-week trial period.\nSee the next section for information about registering. (Registration is generally free except for a 1-cent PayPal fee.)<\/p>\n\n<p class='h'>Availability<\/p><p>This plugin is distributed as &#8220;donationware&#8221;. <span class='nobr'>I have chosen<\/span> to make it available for free\n&mdash; everyone can use it forever, without cost of any kind &mdash; but unless registered, its functionality is somewhat reduced\nafter six weeks.
