Re: Where are the RAW files?
Well, in "theory", look at this example...
You import a RAW file.
You make changes to the RAW file (color, WB, crop, etc.)
Then you Export the file to a JPG or TIF for whatever purpose.
Now the theory. You do NOT need the JPG that you exported inside of Lightroom. Why? Because you still have the RAW file, and it is at the point the exported file is. If you do NOT make another change to the RAW file in LR, then no need to re-import the JPG.
If you DO need to make another change for some reason, then use the POWER of the Virtual Copy commend. Make another "copy" and change that. Now you have two different and diverse images, that only occupy the space of one file. If you re-import the JPG's too (more than likely with a name change), then you just added more data to the database, etc.
