NOTE: Non-destructive editing

Lightroom and Luminar do not alter your images directly, so saving inside those programs is not necessary. When editing with Photoshop or Elements or similar programs make sure you edit using layers and use “save as” so you do not save over your original camera files.

NOTE: To delete or not to delete

#4 – Process to preview quality

#5 – Fully process all chosen or top images
