[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 448609, member: 9240"] The only time I've ever intentionally created them was when I needed to send an actual RAW edit to someone else for use in something other than LR (even with LR I've usually just sent the NEF and created a preset that could be imported with the settings if I wanted someone to see what I did). When I was using only PSE early on they got created automatically, and were I ever to consider dropping LR I'd obviously do that. I do weekly backups of my catalog just in case, and I suppose if I wanted to be absolutely anal I could created XMP files and then delete them after each backup so I'm guaranteed not to lose anything should LR go down in the middle of working in it. I just find them to be a hassle to keep track of and you invariably wind up with orphans somehow. [/QUOTE]
