[QUOTE="Fred Kingston_RIP, post: 646507, member: 10742"] I'd second using a card reader to copy the files versus a USB cable... The card reader is more robust than the the USB connection, and over time, we see more problems here associated with that method of transfer. As has been mentioned, most all of the editing programs that move/copy/import images, don't do anything other than move/copy the original file from one location to another. They don't change/alter the original file. Most editors also never actually edit/change a RAW file... any changes to the RAW file are added/stored in what are called side-car files... alongside the original RAW files. Lightroom is an example... It never alters the original Nikon NEF file. It stores edits/changes in either an XMP file, or the Lightroom Catalogue... so saving multiple NEF files, although good, is redundant... [/QUOTE]
