I would keep all of the 'b' and 'c' files as RAWs in this vault - you never know when you'll go back and find something you wish you could print larger. Besides, converting to a reasonable JPG won't save you that much room over DNG/RAW. Anything you want to alter further in Photoshop is exported as a TIFF by Aperture/Lightroom. You would save (and backup) a final copy of this file (as a TIFF, again) - this is the one you'll go back to for printing down the road. -- MP wooderson@gmail.com
