Using lightroom you can choose how many pixels to export. I can enter a small and large number. How do I know what the largest number of pixels is really 10 megapixels to avoid any pixelation when printing large photos.

Do you mean in the export dialog? You can set a maximum width and height, to constrain your images to those maximum proportions (it will restrict the longest side, with the other falling where it may). Is that what you mean?

What I meant was, I usually export at 3600Xwhatever, the longest side always being 3600. BUT what if I set it to 10,000Xwhatever...will there be pixelation during printing of a photo that size? While exporting you can choose the longest size...but I assume that depending on your camera, you can only export to a certain amount of pixels on the longest side before it actual starts sizing-up the photo.

I would guess that any dimensions bigger than these would have to upconvert.
3160 x 3160 (9.99) - aspect 1:1 (1.00 - square)
3536 x 2832 (10.01) - aspect 5:4 (1.25 - photo)
3568 x 2800 (9.99) - aspect 14:11 (1.27 - photo)
4032 x 2480 (10.00) - aspect 13:8 (1.63 - photo)
3648 x 2736 (9.98) - aspect 4:3 (1.33 - photo)
3744 x 2672 (10.00) - aspect 7:5 (1.40 - photo)
3872 x 2584 (10.01) - aspect 3:2 (1.50 - photo)

There's a checkbox where you can choose to upsize the images or not. If you don't check it, and none of your images have a width of 10000, then none will be upsized. If you have one image that's 11000 pixels wide, it will be sized down to 10000.
