Everything: RAW files, converted TIFF files, adjustments in the form of layered PS files, final flattened files. Daily if necessary. Software that uses hidden and/or cryptic sidecar files is banned on my computer. It?s a system that has worked well for the last ten years and I?ll continue to use until dementia makes it unreliable.
