Several photos can be selected with the mouse and entire collections or folders can be exported by right-clicking. New files are created and saved in a shared directory. Various settings can be made during export:
Export path:
The location where the photos are to be exported can be specified. This can be a location on the local hard drive, an external hard drive or a cloud integrated into the operating system, such as OneDrive.
Photo format:
You can choose between JPG, PNG, or the original format of the images for export. Depending on the selected format, additional options for specifying export settings may be available.
Additionally, the database’s preview images can be used for export. This allows for exporting in lower resolution even if the original images are not accessible, for instance, when an external hard drive is not connected.
Rename photos:
A created renaming profile (File -> Renaming profiles) can be applied to the photos.
Metadata:
To retain newly created and edited metadata in the exported photos, this option should be selected.
Embedded previews:
If available, embedded previews can also be exported.
Maximum dimension:
An upper limit can be set for the dimension of the photos, whereby the image ratio remains the same. Smaller photos are not enlarged.
JPG quality:
If the JPG format is selected, the compression rate can be adjusted.
Export videos:
If this option is checked, video files will also be exported to the destination folder. The original format is always preserved.
