How to save raw files on an external drive but the hard work during the development?

I want to save my raw external hard disk files, but when I work on copy them some files on the hard disk of the computer is faster and when I finished to remove hard drive but continues work to develop, so next time I'll get the file from the external drive it will show develop it I created. How can I do this?

Thank you

In fact, I don't think that smart insights do what you ask, although they could be a solution to a different problem. Smart insights are especially useful when the external drive is not connected (that has not been mentioned in the problem statement).

In general, the workflow of moving pictures on an internal drive, changing them, and then remove the pictures back to the internal drive is unnecessary extra work that adds almost no advantage. There is such a difference in small speed based on the speed of drive when you load a photo into the development module that you may not notice, and it can be eclipsed by the time it takes to move the photo. Ian Lyons did a study and in most cases, the difference between editing photos on a hard drive internal and editing photos on an external drive was small fractions of a second.

So my advice to you is just to let the pictures on the external hard drive, no moving pictures from here to there, not too much space on your internal drive with smart insights.

    First of all, good for you to realize the importance of backing up your data!

  • How to save the metadata to RAW files (and not externally. XMP file)

    Hello

    I would like to record metadata (for example key words) in the RAW files and not externally. XMP file.

    How in Lightroom?

    Thank you

    Josh

    PS: XMP is a file format (=. The XMP files) or a metadata format that can be incorporated into one. XMP file or in the raw itself?

    You can not save the metadata directly in the raw file in Lightroom. You only can it save to a file, XMP - one text file with XMP as well as its file extension containing data that is written to the XMP format.

    To avoid the sidecar files, plan to convert your raw files to DNG. Metadata is written to these files in XMP format, but inside the DNG format.

    How to convert raw files sRGB to my Nikon D300 AdobeRGB files for use in Lightroom and Photoshop?

    I got caught for years in sRGB because I read that it is better for sharing on the web if any alteration in Photoshop may be made.  Now I have the time to focus on learning Photoshop and Lightroom.  Should I opt for color my default AdobeRGB camera mode?  Can I easily convert existing files to sRGB to AdobeRGB in Lightroom/Photoshop?  I understand, as a beginner, is that sRGB files cannot be modified and files AdobeRGB.

    Thanks for your help.

    George Ollen

    Save as raw rather than jpg. Then the color profile will not be embedded in the file. Then Lightroom or camera raw can assign AdobeRGB or SRGB color profile.

    BTW, if you choose - choose AdobeRGB and then convert to SRGB, not the other way around. AdobeRGB has a broader that is SRGB. It's easier to strip color to add.

    When I start a new backup of my computer files in an external drive that already given to this topic, may lose?

    Starting in the first time a backup file, the system will create a folder in the external hard drive of diving. Any subsequent file backup is stored in this folder.

    The first backup of the time will be a full file backup. Following files will be "gradual." Which means that it only backs up new files that are absent in the last backup.

    So, to answer your question: no it won't erase what are already on the disk hard ext.
