Lightroom 5 export help??

I want to be able to save in the highest MB file size to my desk top. How do I do that? I did export and I attached my settings but it seems to save in very low file size??
How do I save to my desktop ??

You are resizing the photo, and in the top you have the file going to a folder in your desktop's folder.

OOPs sorry yes I know that. What I am trying to do is save the largest file possible. Let's say the file size is 12.2mb and when I export it how can I export it keeping it the same size? Would that be to export original?

Luckless told you that you are resizing the photo ...

Look at "Image Sizing" and uncheck "Resize to Fit" ...

THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! That did it...

Just be aware that there is absolutely NO visible difference in image quality between saving the JPEG file at 80% (PS Level 10) and 100% (PS level 12). There is a small measurable difference between an 8 bit TIFF file, and both the 100% and 80% JPEG files, as well as between the two JPEG files. So although you can measure a slight difference between 80% and 100% JPEG files, the measured difference between the two qualities of JPEG file, and an uncompressed 8 bit TIFF file are of the same SIZE. As a Q80 JPEG file is between 60% and 40% smaller than the Q100 file size, this makes a significant saving of disk space, with no appreciable loss of image quality. You actually have to reduce the quality setting down to around Q60 in LR (PS Level 8) before you actually start to be able to discern the effects of JPEG compression.

Although LR has a scale from 0-100 there are actually only 13 levels of compression available, corresponding to the Photoshop range of 0-12.

Using JPEG at Q100 is really pointless on a file size basis too, I have seen JPEG compressed image files saved at Q100 that were larger on the disk than the 8 bit uncompressed TIFF file they were created from. Also you can apply lossless compression to a TIFF file that will reduce it in size significantly, without affecting the image quality at all, if you are really after maximum image quality.

Also, don't concern yourself with the file size in megabytes or kilobytes.

Pixel dimensions, jpeg compression, color depth, color space - these are the things that matter. Dial in all your other settings, and let the file size be whatever it needs to be.
