As long as we are still talking about LR, conversion, storage and such I
have a  couple of questions.

Does anybody store original files in RAW format, or is everyone storing
copies of DNG conversions?  I have been storing in RAW but am wondering if
that is the best situation.

And second, is anyone (else) having problems with LR2 not opening images in
CS3 for editing?  Worked fine with LR1.4, but though LR2 launches CS3, it
won't open the image.  BTW, I'm using a 24" iMac with 10.5.4.

Thanks for any help!

Chuck
