Export is the last stage, not a single button
Export is the last stage of a workflow, not a single button. A useful delivery path preserves the master, fixes the crop and dimensions, confirms recipient requirements, checks profile and metadata choices where relevant, reviews a test, and confirms handoff. This checklist makes missing confirmations visible without pretending to know the right software or file settings for every destination.
For a client download, keep the master, confirm the crop and dimensions, apply the agreed naming/metadata structure, review an exported test, and record that delivery was checked. For a print lab, provider requirements and a proof become more important. If the provider specification is unknown, the next step is to obtain it, not to let a generic export preset make the decision.
This is a planning calculation, not a certification. Confirm the relevant camera, lens, card, printer, contract, location, or workflow constraint in the real setup before relying on the result.
Compare the chosen crop and output at the intended physical size and viewing distance. A proof is more informative than a generic PPI or quality label because it includes the actual subject, processing, paper, and display context.
FAQ
- Which export format should I use?
- This tool does not choose one. Follow the recipient or provider's documented requirements and verify a test export in the intended context.
- Is this a guarantee?
- No. The result is bounded by the inputs and assumptions shown on the page. It is designed to support a better next decision, not replace a test, measurement, proof, or professional judgement where one is needed.
