Photoshop Images Export Settings

Short Summary

This article explains photoshop images export settings for Stackhouse customers and helps you choose the right next step before ordering or contacting support.

Quick Answer

From Photoshop, keep your layered master file, then export a flattened RGB JPEG, PNG, or TIFF with an embedded profile for upload.

Before You Begin

• Keep your original master file before exporting a print-ready copy.
• Use RGB color mode and embed a profile when your editing app allows it.
• Review the exported file before uploading it to your order.

How It Works

Review the file preparation guide. Review the resolution guide.

Step 1: Keep your master file

Save the layered or editable file for your records.

Step 2: Set size and resolution

Confirm the file has enough pixels for the intended print size.

Step 3: Export a supported file

Export a JPEG, PNG, or TIFF in RGB with an embedded profile when available.

Step 4: Upload and preview

Upload the exported copy and review the crop preview before checkout.

Important Notes

• Do not upload layered working files unless support specifically asks for them.
• Avoid screenshots and compressed social media downloads for print orders.
• Export settings should match the intended print size and product.
• Keep the editable master file in case you need to revise it later.

Examples

Example 1: Lightroom photo export

Export a high-quality JPEG or TIFF in RGB with the color profile embedded, then upload that file.

Example 2: Procreate artwork

Use the original canvas export rather than a screenshot so the print has more usable detail.
