I don't know that the technical details matter much as long as you stick with one system, but FWIW I think your characterization of LR is a bit off. My understanding is that image adjustments in LR are neither embedded in the DNG nor saved as a sidecar. Rather, this is an SQL-type system where information about an image, including any adjustments made, is maintained in fields in the data base. If you export a file for additional processing in Photoshop or other program, then a sidecar may need to be built to carry along the relevant image info, but it is not needed nor used within a LR-based workflow. What you see on the screen at any time is an on-the-fly JPEG rendition of your image as modified by everything you have done to that image within LR. The image is off wherever you put it, and all of the information about that image is within the LR database system. stan -- 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.
