1. Re: no resize by % option?
Lee Jay-ZyZk56 Sep 5, 2010 12:39 PM (in response to deedeecz)No - export allows you to resize to a constant final size independed of the way you might have cropped or the size of the original image. Do you have a real use case that requires a fixed percentage which will result in final images of widely varying size?

2. Re: no resize by % option?
deedeecz Sep 6, 2010 1:33 AM (in response to Lee Jay-ZyZk56)Acknowledged. I have a bunch of images cropped in different ways. I like the % because it's the simplest to use and locks the aspect ratio. Since, it's not available; however, how should I proceed if I want the aspect ratio preserved?

Dorin Nicolaescu-Musteață Sep 6, 2010 1:38 AM (in response to deedeecz)By aspect ratio you mean "size of one image relative to another" or "width relative to height of each particular image"?
If the former, you can't do it in Lightroom. If the latter, Lightroom always preserves aspect ratios.

4. Re: no resize by % option?
deedeecz Sep 6, 2010 2:06 AM (in response to Dorin Nicolaescu-Musteață)I meant the latter so problem solved. The resize dialog could definitely make it clearer though; maybe some lock aspect ratio icon or simply when typing width or height the other value should change automatically, on the fly.

Well, maybe... I never thought one would want to distort his images, so, I personally always assumed the aspect ratio is just always locked.

clvrmnky Sep 6, 2010 4:56 AM (in response to deedeecz)The documentation could do a better job at explaining the difference between Dimensions and Width and Length options in the export dialogue. Both options preserve the aspect ratio, resizing a side to fit dimensions given, if necessary.
