Hi Samantha, Thank you for your replies. Yes i mean Photoshop Elements 12. I think i am going to go with the original file with the xmp. Files. I wish i had learnt this a long time ago. I think it really helps when experienced people help us understand what the programmes do and how the elements in them work. A whole lot more than i realised. Thanks again Annette

Thank you Christine, You have been so helpful. I am looking forward to getting started on this tomorrow . Annette

Thank you both. Yes Christine, i have now read up on that article. Much learnt in a few shòrt paragraphs! Lol Samantha, My laptop whilst a 1tb hard drive would clutter up quickly with all the travel photos I have from across some 18 countries. So i have them all on an extrnal hd and yes rule of 123! I need to workflow them, then work through them for some online projects and some picture sales i have in the pipeline. Some will need revisiting for creative art purposes, some for info guide sheets and some for fine Art printing. FB pages etc. Some no doubt will pass through adobe 12 for further editingDoes this help?

Hi Damien, Congrats on the good move! My second question ever! I have Cr2 files on my hard drive direct from my Canon 70d. I use Lr5 and Adobe PS12 , but mostly Lr5. I have done my first sweep of basic editing. What I would like to know is what is the best format to save them in. I have options for Tiff, DNG, JPEG etc. I want to keep as much of the original info in the files as possible, is DNG a good option. I am aware that I would use JPEG for internet general use. I need idiot instructions please? Much appreciated
