[Leica] It's all your fault

Every photo that I edit is exported as both a tiff (or psd with layers) in
my permanent file and as a watermarked jpeg in my "for the web" file.  I
may save several different edits in different sizes, depending on the
project.  The originals are always archived on my hard drives.

This is why I have 33 external hard drives hooked up to my computer and
about that many duplicates stored off-site.

I don't anticipate ever doing away with LR, but if I did, I still have all
copies of my files, original and edited, on my hard drives, not in the
cloud.
