Hi Jon

?

The process you describe is how RAW or in the case of Nikon NEF files work.? Very basically, the RAW file is just data with no adjustments whatsoever ¨C it¡¯s data straight off the camera sensor.

?

You are correct, any adjustments made to the RAW file are saved in a separate, small file which is referenced when you open the file again.? Naturally you can save different versions and use a different name as with other formats.

?

RAW files are lossless unlike some other formats in common usage.

?

I hope that helps

PS ¨C I shoot NEF and jpg at the same time so that I have something quickly available without having to spend time processing the image in the RAW [NEF] file..

As I understand it, Lightroom just saves adjustments in a small file. When you export it then it creates an image file with the adjustments made. This way you can still have the original image for adjustments down the road.?

Others with more experience may correct me.

Both shots were handheld, it was the D7200 but the exif data was not on the image, is this what happens when you use tubes? I had only just got the tubes so I was trying to see what they would do. 1 question, when you play with an image in lightroom does it save all of the changes and overwrite the image or does it save a copy of the changed image?
