Export finished photos

Keep the edit while delivering a finished image.

A photo is ready for further retouching or delivery. Export a rendered copy with its finished appearance and retain the original with the develop settings.

Continue retouching in another editor

Export a 16-bit TIFF and open it in the photo editor used for the next stage.

Prepare an image for compatible HDR viewing

Choose HDR HEIC when the image and the viewing application can use the broader brightness range.

Return to the RAW edit later

Keep the original and its XMP settings file together when moving or archiving the shoot.

A useful detail

Will Lightroom or Camera Raw reproduce every adjustment?

Some standard XMP settings can be read by other applications. Lighthouse-specific controls, film looks and plugin effects may not transfer or render identically. Export a finished image when you need to preserve the appearance.

A useful detail

Can I send the exported TIFF straight to any printer?

Check the printer’s required dimensions, colour profile and file settings first. The right handoff depends on the print service; a high-bit-depth TIFF alone is not a guarantee of a matching print.
