In Lightroom, which action would you typically perform to deliver edited images to a client?

• A. Publish
• B. Export
• C. Import
• D. Sync

Answer: (B)

Delivering edited images to a client means turning your edits into final, shareable files you can hand off outside Lightroom. The export process is built for this: it creates new image files from what you’ve edited, letting you choose the output format (JPEG is the most common for clients), adjust size and resolution, pick a color space, and apply any output-specific tweaks like sharpening or watermarking. You also decide what metadata to include. The result is a set of ready-to-send files saved to a location you specify, which you can upload to a client portal, attach to an email, or transfer via a drive. Import is about bringing files into Lightroom, not delivering them. Sync keeps your edits synchronized across devices, not a one-time delivery. Publish might push files to certain services or galleries, but exporting remains the standard, versatile way to produce deliverables.
