I've just recently started using Lightroom, but have been exporting as JPEG,100 quality. I'll need to give DNG/Tiff export a try if there is a noticeable difference, thanks for the tips! :thumb:

Typically with LR, the purpose of exported files should determine the file format you should probably use, e.g. online = jpeg (maybe png), printing = tiff (maybe psd).

Shoot in RAW, export in JPG and save in JPG.

For the run of the mill show your pictures on Forums and databases using TIF gives the maximum amount of quality but at the end of the day that wide gamut AdobeRGB RAW image is going to end up as a compressed sRGB JPG image, so the effort is wasted.

Seeing someone mentioned it, gone over in Lockdown to CaptureOne from Lightroom and only miss the way it does keywording
