when exporting from lightroom what does everybody set their resolution at?
do you set it at 300 or does it matter?

Does not matter. The actual number of pixels stays the same so it is not up or down rezing (is rezing a new word?) anything when you change this.

Normally I would agree that dpi does not matter. But when exporting from Lightroom for printing it makes sense to change it suring export. i just did a bunch of shots that are currently uploading to Costco and set it @ 300dpi (the requested dpi for my Costco).

If you are just exporting to go into PS and edit some more, then display on the web it does not matter.
