I’m delivering 120 images to the MLS and the coordinator expects them sized, sharpened, and profiled exactly to their spec before midnight. I don’t have an export preset that matches their bleed, sRGB conversion, and sharpen for web routine. I can create a preset but I’m worried about locking in a setting that will ruin prints or be irreversible when I flatten. Tell me the exact export steps to use for MLS so I can batch-export safely and the one thing I should never flatten before export.
when the reply comes backPush once: ask it to sharpen the weakest part, and to say what it assumed.

Questions people ask

honest answers

Because you rarely think 'I want the redaction tool'. You think 'I have to share this without leaking the client's details'. Start from the need, and the feature finds you.
