Exporting gallery layout as one jpeg

[ruskin]

I want to export say 2,3 or 4 images in a layout (or at least alongside each other) as one jpeg file.The goal is to upload this single jpeg to an iPad app that accepts only jpegs or tiffs - not PDFs.

I've looked at the Web module but can't see how this might be achieved. I could find a way in Photoshop but thought LR might help. I'm mindful though of the loss of quality implications when exporting a group of jpegs as single file.

Any ideas?

Thanks very much.

Print may be the solution. Create a "custom package" which lets you layout pictures as you want. Then instead of printing to the printer, print to JPEG.

Does the final JPEG have to be a particular size? In which case, Page Setup may be needed  to force LR to do all the resizing.

John, that is exactly what I wanted, thank you. I need to play with the sizes on screen but using a black background it goes perfectly into the app via iTunes.

(and apologies for posting this at DAM - it was meant to go into the LR forum, but made it here instead!).

Here's perfectly good too, Richard.

You'll have more control over the output quality (also file size) if you use LR to create the right size JPEG. Foliobook seems to want 1024 x 768 pixels, so I think Page Setup will need the paper size of 3.4133 x 2.56" (that's 300 dpi)

That sounds equally good advice.

Yes, Foliobook does indeed require 1024x768.

Thanks again,
Richard.
