[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 751769, member: 986"] Couple things to add: [LIST] [*]Handling your RAW files as your digital negatives is the most common approach that I see, except for some that chose to capture JPEGs (i.e., sports shooters on strict deadlines). [*]The "sidecar" file approach is dependent on the editor that you use. I believe most of the answers here are reflective of Lightroom which is non-destructive and uses a sidecar (.XMP) file. [*]If you use plugins in Lightroom, Photoshop or other products that create intermediate files as part of processing (i.e., TIFF files created when editing in PS from LR), those files shoud also be considered digital negatives. [*]As products evolve and improve, I sometimes will reprocess an image. For example, I was asked to print an image that I originally captured with a D300. I made a virtual copy in LR, updated to the current Camera RAW version, and reprocessed where I was able to slightly improve the shadow recovery. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
