So, a lightroom question. I use it and love it. But, since all changes are non-destructive, does anyone have a good workflow for saving the images? My tendency is to save all my RAW files on DVD, then work on them and then export the ones I have worked on to TIFF or Photoshop files. That means more DVDs. I toyed with the idea of exporting the catalog to DVD, but what good will that be when lightroom is no longer available in 10 years? 


Might still be - I started using MS Word in ???
Else exporting as JPEG looks fine. It is so commonly used I can't imagine it disappearing all of a sudden - and then you'll have converters. Off topic; I'm currently in the process of buying a converter for my kids video films so that I can have them on DVD with minimum loss. I sometimes trust technology, and business. Sometimes ;-) Back to topic - another possibility would be DNG, an open standard, and maybe longer lasting, I don't know. If someone knows of a safer way ...

David is absolutely right about Silkpix - at least for my L1.
Yet, I'm so lazy ...
Other - HD, floppy and DVD use the same encoding - the problems if ever, might be for future generations, not ours. They <ill have to become archeologists and decypher the Digital Rosetta stone prior to viewing our masterpieces ;-)

oh yes - LR, you can extend the use and experiments by changing the clock on your computer - but it can result in a mess for dates, and more importantly to other applications/programmes ...

Thanks again!
It feels good to learn something from you. I have just downloaded LR (30-day trial version). Spela is already angry with me, saying I spend way too much time at my comp.

I've been backing up on multiple CDs and a pair of external hard drives. The hard drives are for immediate access, the CDs are for off-site archiving. The CDs are mostly for the exceptional photos that would be impossible to replicate; one copy to by brother near San Francisco, one to my daughter presently in Hawaii.
