Are these export settings still the ones to go with?

Why don't I get these types of settings ? I just get "save to" custom "long" its strange
What export settings would you use for a photobook, like Blurb book?
So the famous “ I Shoot Raw “ guy Export in JPEG for printing ? And the quality for printing is based in that 20% difference? So what is raw exactly for? Just to get more data from the sensor and edit easier ?
Why would you ever use 300PPI images on your website? That is killing your site loading speed, which Google has become obsessed with and will penalize your site for fractions of a second extra load time. You say square space resizes the image for you, ok, but that's just another reason not to export such large files because no one is even seeing the larger files you are making. If it is going to be displayed at 72PPI then why export it at 300PPI? You are more than tripling the image size just so it can take up more space, take more time to upload, and then your website's template has to resize from 300PPI to 72PPI. What is the reason for this? I don't understand.

Will this work for Instagram??!!
really like your sight
You finally talked me into it, I'm gonna check out squarespace.com Thanks for the videos. I really appreciate how you market yourself as yourself; that's awesome!
A resolution for 300 ppi for web seems to be too much. I've read that a resolution of 72 ppi is ideal. What do you think?
Wow !!! Thanks a lot!!!!
Great video. What's the best site to make a album for on hand display? 30-40 image album.
Really Helpful for big printing!!! Cheers
Jared, you have no clue what are the export settings about – you just publicly admitted. You also have no clue how colorspaces work. But you know – I was living with the same knowledge long time. I am sure you can find a guide on youtube….
Thanks for the video. I thought long-edge 2,048 pixels was the recommended size for the web e.g., Facebook.
I needed this! Thanks man!
gracias por los tips
you are awesome
Why not to use Adobe Portfolio when it is free!!!!!!! Please make video on that!!! Adobe Portfolio vs Squarespace. I do not see the reason why people should pay Squarespace when there is Adobe that offers the same thing!!!! Thanks

I'm considering building a wordpress website for the reasons you mentioned, but I noticed what you mentioned about resolution (pixels per inch) and I must disagree with this, pixels per inch has nothing to do with the quality of the image, the photo is going to be 2500px long edge in both situations, and obviously the 2500px 300dpi would have the same file size as a 2500px 72dpi image. Pixels per inch is the information the file gives in order to print the right amount of pixels per paper inch, e.g when you have a 2500px file at 300dpi (pixels per inch) you get a smaller print (about 21cm) but the pixel is printed smaller so its not visible, when you print the same 2500px file, converted in ps, not resampled or re exported at 72dpi, the print would be at about 88cm but the pixels will be visible. When you are using an image for digital devices or internet, dpi value doesn't matter at all, also I think it is very important when resizing a picture to check the right sharpening method, LR or in PS, it doesn't matter, images will look a little soft due to resizing algorithm. I agree that sRGB is the best distribution profile. Cheers!
DPI (Dots Per Inch) settings are only applicable when printing an image. It doesn't make any difference what DPI setting you use for web images. It's the (pixel) width and (pixel) height of an image which are important. Test it out for yourself save an image at 72 DPI and another at 300 DPI now export them for the web and I promise you will see no difference.
I use jpegmini to keep the file sizes down on my images and my print quality has stayed the same. Thanks for the video Jared.
Hi Jared, if you were uploading to a print service, would you not want to upload your file in a lossless format to preserve the quality of the original RAW irrespective of the output print paper size?
I have trouble with this to make it look good on FB! Some times it looks like crap!
Great tutorial Jarrod. Squarespace is definitely one of the better website hosts out there. If Squarespace automatically resizes your photos, does that mean we don't need to shrink the image file size when uploading?
I was also hoping to hear a little section on the sharpening section – for screen, matte and glossy. Do you use it?
Well if you dail in JPEG and set it to 100% quality aren't you still losing quality because JPEG is a lossy format? Would it be better to save a Tiff or DNG file?

What settings do you use when you export for a photo book?
Thanks Jared, the large export is always tricky to get right
Currently making a photobook 🙂 perfect timing
I need to step up… Still using IWeb lol
Awesome!! I'm gonna start printing lol
Why not ProPhoto RGB? I have seen many recommendations to use that profile.
nice vid.
Perfect!
Great info Jared. The export process is made simple. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Nice!
