Cropping RAW files

[tk1366]

When I Cropping RAW file in Lightroom mobile on iPad and then I export it to the camera roll, the picture is exported cropped, but in the original size of RAW file. For example - I have RAW 6000 x 4000 px. I cropp it to 3000 x 2000 px. But after exporting to the camera roll I have image in the size 6000 x 4000 px (But the frame is cropped). How can I change it and make exported files to have the right size?

You have to export it as a JPG or TIFF file for any and all edits to be burned/baked into the file.

I use "Save to Camera Roll" and then "Maximum available size" and the size is always as the original size of RAW file. It makes the quality worse because the cropped image is during saving enlarged to 6000 x 4000 px.

Turn that off. That is what is reducing the quality of the image.

Just tried it and you are right it saves at the original dimensions. This is for sure a bug. It should absolutely not do this and export at the cropped resolution when selecting "maximum available". I reported this on the feedback forum: Lightroom mobile exports to the wrong resolution to the camera roll when Maximum available is select...​ where more Adobe engineers look into posts, so add your voice there.

Thank you. The same is with 2048 px resolution - the image is always exported to 2048 px, even if it's smaller.

WOW, I have never noticed this before. I’m seeing this as well. Not good.

I can understand it happening when selecting 2048, as you are asking for a spcific size so that’s what you are getting.

We have a bug logged for this and are working on a fix in an upcoming release.
