You can develop photos when Lightroom can’t find the originals

If you get into the habit of building Smart Previews when you import your images into Lightroom you will enjoy the following benefits. Smart Previews are a fraction of the size of Raw files (as little as 2%). A Smart Preview is a highly compressed DNG file that measures 2540 pixels along the longest edge. So I thought it would be interesting to take a closer look at it to see what it can do and who might find it useful.īut first, let’s talk about Smart Previews. Lightroom web is probably the least talked about of those three options. Lightroom CC subscribers can access Lightroom in three places on a computer using the desktop app, on a tablet or phone using Lightroom Mobile, or through an internet browser, using Lightroom Web (go to the url to check it out for yourself).
