It's like a time capsule and not something that can be changed or altered, this is why you cannot make changes in LR and expect it to stay on the NEF or DNG file. The NEF file is meant to stay exactly as it was so that later on when newer and better software becomes available, you'll still have all of the data to take advantage of the newer algorithms. So in order to get your changes to stick on any NEF or DNG file, you must export both the LR catalogue as well as the NEF file in order for those changes to follow. The catalogue contains all the instructions for the changes you made, not the actual file itself.</p></blockquote><p></p>
