Greetings,

I have a couple of questions regarding Lightroom 4 (4.1). I exported some pictures of my trip to Alaska and printed some pictures at a local store that has some pretty nice equipment.  I discovered that the pictures were underexposed by a lot.  I realize that on the computer I am looking at a backlit screen, but I was surprised by the difference.  On number of pictures I have the highlight down quite a bit as I like the way cloud cover shows up in the picture, but I do have the exposure up.  When you're printing, what setting(s) are you using to get propper exposure?

A week or so ago, when in Lightroom, I must have been in a different area than I thought as I clicked on something and the next thing I know the program is trying to export my photos to Adobe.  I tried to cancel the export, but I couldn't get it to cancel, so I just pulled my eithernet cable brom my computer.  Not very many went on line, I would think that that is a easy way to lose control over your pictures.  That got me to thinking about some sort of on line storage back up such as Carbonite.  While not expressly for photos, it's my understanding that the program will download your NEF files.  I do have keep a double back up of my photos, but that would be a lot of work.

Lastly,

I would like to express my appreciation for all the help that you all have been on this site.  Especially while I was in Alaska. Out of all the sites that I visit, this is the only one that I post to.  I don't even mind that the responses get off subject, kind of interesting and I always get the answer that I need.  So a big thanks to everyone here.
