Hi Martin

Thank you for presenting another top-quality post aimed at one of the practical rather than creative processes that help save time in workflow and maintain original image quality. I particularly appreciate you sharing your real-life settings with concise reasons for why you arrived at them, it really reinforces the value of not only your Podcast but all of the work that you produce. I’m going to go and review my LR export settings now!

Best regards, Ian.
