Hey ya'll! I've a question about the LR3 print module.

See, lets say I want to print to a file (JPG). But I want the file to be exactly say, 3000x2000 pixels (assuming 3:2 aspect ratio), or "as big as possible without artifacts".

What can I do to get the sizes I want? Because when I start making my own templates, the paper sizes are already decided.

Any ideas?

One of the reasons why printing to file is clumsy and harder than exporting the normal way. You have to do the math. Lets say you have 8x12 paper set and you want 2000 x 3000 pixels. 2000/8 is 250 so you put in 250 ppi. In Export you would just type in Resize: Short Edge - 2000. Printing to jpg is good if you want the image to include white or colored margins, a stroke border, a graphic frame, or a caption, but for a simple image Export is easier.
