Stupid Question about Lightroom

[PeggyfromTampa]

I just downloaded Lightroom and I have edited some photos. They look great. Now, how do I save them to my hard drive or find them to upload from a site that has a 'browse' button for uploads, such as an MLS (multiple listing service)? I have watched several tutorials and read blogs and I just cannot figure it out. What am I missing?

You've got to export them!

File - Export and then adjust the size, quality etc and save to location of your choice

OMG! Thank you so much! I guess I would have eventually figured it out but nothing specifically explains it--nothing that I have found anyway! Thank you so much for responding!

If you are going to use Flickr to host your photos, I highly recommend downloading Jeffery Friedl's Flickr Plugin for Lightroom; It just makes it so easy. He also has plugins for other image hosting services too, such as SmugMug, Facebook, etc.

Also, his Metadata Wrangler is excellent for removing the metadata you don't want available in your photos when you upload them.

The other plugin I use is Timothy Armes LR2/Mogrify to add borders and watermarks.

All Jeffrey and Tim's plugins are Donationware, so you can pay what it is worth to you when/if you decide to register.
