Lightroom Beta 2 - New Export Features

Lightroom has many new features in the Export dialog box.

The beta 2 export now has a new option for Output Sharpening as well as a lot of changes to the previously available export options.

New Output Sharpening allows you to select the amount to apply, as well as the target for the sharpening. Matt or Glossy paper as well as for screen use.

Export Location has a new Add the Exported Photo to the Lightroom Catalog which is great if you want to automatically have your exported images appear back in the catalog with the export options applied.

It just saves time. You can also choose to stack them with the originals.

Files Settings now allows you to select the Color Space.

Image Settings has a new Add Copyright Watermark as well as allowing you to select the bit depth of the exported Image.

The Post-Processing section has a new Open in Another Application after export and allows you to select the application which will then open the exported images.

Much has changed. What I like best are the targeted Output sharpening and the ability to automate adding the exported images back into the catalog.

Overall a significant improvement.
