Print in draft mode
You can use Draft Mode Printing to print contact sheets and quick drafts of a photo. In this mode, Lightroom uses
cached photo previews when printing. If you select photos that haven't been fully cached and print them using Draft
Mode Printing, Lightroom sends their thumbnail data to the printer, and the print quality of those photos might not
be what you expect. Sharpening and color management controls aren't available using Draft Mode Printing.
❖
In the Print Job panel of the Print module, select Draft Mode Printing.

Print to JPEG
You can save photos as JPEG files in the Print module for sharing with a print service provider. When you print to
JPEG, Lightroom lets you choose a resolution, apply print sharpening, and set the compression quality. You can also
specify dimensions of the file and apply an RGB ICC profile and a rendering intent.
