Thanks for your help
I do quite a bit of flash work with the flashes off camera. I don't have any experience of any Godox products, so was unable to respond to your original question. you will do better asking on PentaxForums.

if your post today was meant to show displeasure, remember that communication is a two way street https://www.pentaxuser.com/forum/topic/flash-in-lv-62191

CAn someone also explain the cropping tool in LR too?

When the lock is open and closed - what do the two functions serve?

Also if choose say 8 x 10 during editing how does that play out during the LR export when I opt for a different size

Cheers in advance
Had a quick play in LR

The padlock when locked constrains the aspect ratio. So you can grab the corners of the crop frame and move them but the aspect ratio is unchanged.

When unlocked you can use a custom ratio.

If you want a 10x8 inch image select that in the crop tool and frame your picture. Then click export and in the image sizing dialogue box select "resize to fit"; change the width and height to 10 x 8 inches and select 300 ppi. You will get a correctly re sampled image of 3000x2400 pixels.

If you want a different aspect ratio from 10x8 then dont use the 10x8 crop tool. Use the crop aspect ratio that you intend to print at.

Ok thanks

Can you give me the recommendations for the following sizes?

I've spoke to AG Photo and they only need 300DPI so thats that sorted

What would be the specific inches / dimensions for the following sizes that I am considering ...

20 x 16
18 x 12
30 x 20

Most thankful for all your help!
20” x 16” at 300 ppi means your image file should be 6000 x 4800 pixels

Just multiply the ppi by the print dimensions

thanks guys Ill resort back to JPG's at 300 PPI
That is only part of the equation. For a print you need to multiply the physical size by the ppi to give you the pixel dimensions (resolution) you need.

They'll do the rest.
Many printers will, but you will get better results by preparing your file yourself rather than allowing a printing company to downsize/upsize your image.

DS Colour Labs who I recommend in this thread require 300 ppi. Knowing that, and the size that you want to print at, gives you the resolution you need in pixels.

Cheers Peter

Is 500 PPI a safe option then for a fairly decent size?
Not a safe option at all if the lab wants 300 ppi.
