Hi Piers,
Without having time on my side today, I will quickly tell you what I am
referring to. When you crop in CS5, regardless of crop dimensions, you
can specify that the crop be saved at 300 dpi. This is important for
printing later. I am looking for LR to have the same functionality.
So, let's say in CS5 I chose to crop an image to 8x10. Even if I
foolishly choose to crop in very tight, CS5 will save at 300 dpi. (When
one has the settings purposely set that way). I have no idea what LR
does. I hope that helps you understand my point.
Thank you,
Candace
