[QUOTE="Revet, post: 330126, member: 17612"] I have seen numerous threads and website posts on using XMP sidecars. Most Pros seem to use them. I was using them but when lightroom updated recently, it removed the check mark for this option so I have been using Lightroom recently without creating XMP files. I have noticed an increase in performance. My question is, Do I really need them?? I only use Lightroom currently for all my photos (I don't use Bridge, etc.) I occasionally use Photoshop elements but I plan to use it more in the future after I do some tutorials. Next question, if it is deemed good for me to use side cars; how can I get the past month or so photo's up to date with sidecars since I don't know which have it and which don't. I know I can do it manually but how will that affect the photo's which have sidecar files already? Thanks for any insight! [/QUOTE]
