But I think of opening a raw file and saving it as a .psd and then .jpeg as printing to disk. Like we used to call it in the early Mac days with text capture and so on. You hit one key combination it went to your printer. Another and it went to your hard disk. I will say that just rating and tweaking a raw file does not give me that feeling. I like to save a copy as a Photoshop file at least. But saving it as a jpeg the important thing is not that I have a jpeg rated five stars on my hard disk; but that people are seeing it. On the Lug gallery and other places. That to me is completing my workflo circle and is like having a print in a box in my side bag to show people at a Starbucks. Or a bus stop. - - from my iRabs.
