[QUOTE="Fred Kingston_RIP, post: 755394, member: 10742"] yes... NEF files are edited non-destructively... IOW, if you edit a NEF, and save the edit... it doesn't save the change to the NEF file, but writes what is called a "side-car" file with those edits. Those would be the XMP files... When you touch the NEF file again, the system looks to see if there are XMP files with the same file name as the NEF...it subsequently loads the Nef, and then loads the XMP changes... If you do heavy editing on a NEF file, and subsequently delete the associated XMP files... then you won't have all those edits. I don't know about you, but if I had images that I had spent time making changes to, I certainly wouldn't be too excited about throwing away all that time by deleting those XMP files... There are several methods, other than XMP files for saving edits... [/QUOTE]
