  • saving work in Lightroom

    How do you save work in Lightroom, other than to export the file? I don't see but one "done" button, which goes away after just one adjustment. I am used to being able to save a work as I go along, but I don't see how its done in the develop mode. Ideas? Thanks!

    Re: saving work in Lightroom

    Lightroom saves everything as you go, immediately upon executing the command. But remember, Lightroom works only with metadata, no pixels are changed. And the changes are stored in Lightroom's database, unless you've change your prefs to also create sidecar files.

    If you want an actual image file with changes baked in, you must export.

      Lightroom saves! (so does Jesus)
      by memphishooter
      When you work on an image, I am told that Lightroom automatically saves the work. WHERE TO? HOW DO YOU FIND SOMETHING it has saved, and pigeonholed somewhere?

      Lightroom "Revert?"
      by crazyfly1
      This is actually 2 questions. First, ya know how in Photoshop you can revert an image back to it's initial stage? Well I have 40000 images in a lightroom cat (I know, I know) and there are a lot of edits. I want to take all of the images back to the beginning. The reset function will take the pictures...
