I'm a little confused with some of the options. Should I use print sharpening? What about scaling and resolution? How do you create borders?

I was struggling with the same question: how to rpint to a file (preferably JPG and/or TIFF). After trying various settings in LR and browsing the Internet I found out that LR 1.4 didn't have this feature. Looking for a solution I came across this video and this set me on the right track. I DL-ed CutePDF and PDFCreator (both free - the latter beeing Open Source) and began installing. I choose PDFCreator first to start with. It was simple enough to set up PDFCreator and soon I was able to print from LR to PDFCreator and ended up with some nice PDF's. However that's not what I wanted - I was still looking for JPG and/or TIFF. Browsing again for some info I found that PDFCreator not only lets you create a PDF; it can also save your printfiles in various other formats including JPG and TIFF. The procedure is quit simple: - install PDFCreator; - tune the various settings of PDFCreator to your likings (via PDFCreator->Printer->Options) - when asked for the filename of the created file change the filetype to TIFF The only thing I have to do after that is "synchronize" the folder within LR and there it finds the newly created TIFF-file. Thanks again and hope this helps, Melis - select the correct printer in LR (PDFCreator); At first: thanks to Matt and the other people who made some comments.

I am trying to create some extra MyPublisher photobook presets with it. I have one question though: What are the results of this procedure, concerning color management. Isn't profile information (and thus color management) lost during the pdf-generation process? Really great tip.

Why not do just this: - In the print dialog, choose "Preview" (the Preview application of Mac OS X opens) - Then select "Save As" and here you can save the preview as JPG.

I don't believe you need Acrobat to do this. I tried it on my machine and since Acrobat isn't working on my machine even though it is installed, I was still able to generate a PDF that was rendered by the Mac operating system. This should encourage others who don't have Acrobat that it's still possible to print to PDF.

I have tried using "Managed by Printer", but the prints come out horrible looking (just if I print them). If I print in Draft Mode, the colors appear fine. LR really has some serious profiling issues! What Color Management profle are you using for printing?
