I'm just starting to get the hang of Lightroom myself, but I think one thing you need to get used to is the idea that Lightroom doesn't save your JPEG results anywhere in particular. When you make an edit/ develop a RAW file, all you are really doing is entering the EDITS into a database. The RAW file sits there, untouched. When you decide to share this JPEG file with someone out there - either by copying the JPEG out, or creating a slide show, or by setting something up on the Web - that's when the file is "exported" and all of the changes you want to have happen to the file are applied. You don't really need to save the JPEG anywhere unless you're going to share it with someone. Otherwise, the Lightroom database has a list of the changes required to convert the original file to one that looks like what you want it to look like. Also - if you want to know where a file is located, there is a panel on the right-hand side with all of the metadata - one of them is the folder name where the original file is located - if you click on that, it shows you where that folder is in the "Folders" tree on the left- hand side. Right-clicking (or Ctrl-clicking on the Mac) that folder lets you choose, among other options, to "show in Finder" (and, I'll wager, "Show in Explorer" on Windows) where the file lives in your directories/folders. > But no doubt I'm still on > the bottom of the learning curve here. > I agree that there is tons to learn to use it properly. I've been "playing around" with it for the past week and I've just barely scratched the surface. There are a number of tutorials out there which are worth watching/reading to get the basics in hand. I am starting to really like it. -Charles -- Charles Robinson - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Minneapolis, MN http://charles.robinsontwins.org -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
