How can I export reduced resolution RAW files from Lightroom?

Question

I read that in Lightroom 4 is possible to export reduced resolution raw files.

Does anybody know how to do it?

---

Thanks to Rob's links I found the solution.

Export the photo with the following settings:

• Image format: DNG
• Compatibility: Camera Raw 6.6 and later (required otherwise the lossy compression doesn't show)
• Use Lossy Compression: Checked

For a Canon 7D raw files this process reduce the size at about the 25% of the original. I think I just found a good solution for bringing my photos with me on my laptop while keeping the original raws on my desktop computer.

Having done some research on the Adobe Lightroom help site I found this article on how to export to file.

I believe the feature you are referencing to is to do with

Enhanced DNG options

• Resolution reduction via export provides the ability to share lower resolution versions of the original raw file without losing the capabilities offered by raw.
