Buongiorno, ho un domanda da porvi. Io uso lightroom classic e mi succede che se importo delle immagini in formato CR2 (RAW di Canon) e poi le elaboro, quando vado a reimportarle per altre elaborazioni non me le importa più. Mi importa il formato jpeg, non il RAW. Qualcuno di voi ha lo stesso problema?

Dipende dalle impostazioni?

Io uso un Macboook Air nel caso serva come informazione.

Grazie per l'attenzione

The opinion of @JP Hess and my opinion match.

It seems to me that you are concentrating on the wrong file. The raw file has much more image data to work with and has much more potential than any JPEG image. I primarily retain the raw images and create virtual copies for different versions. I only export JPEG images when needed to provide copies for other purposes such as the Internet, or to send to other individuals, or to send to a lab to be printed. Otherwise, I see very little need to have JPEG copies. However, that is only my opinion.

Io, così come suggerito da Lei sviluppo i files RAW. Detto questo, se Lei riprende una serie di foto a distanza di qualche giorno come fa? Non le deve reimportare se nel frattempo ha sviluppato altri files? Il mio problema è proprio in questa seconda fase di reimportazione dei files per poterli sviluppare nuovamente. In questa seconda fase Lightroom Classic non mi importa i files RAW, ma solo i files jpeg.

Spero di avervi esposto meglio il mio problema.

Grazie

There is no reason to "re-import" your RAW files. If they're on your hard disk and in your catalog once, that's all you need. If they're still on your camera's card because you haven't deleted them yet, you can uncheck those images during the import process to ensure that you don't end up with duplicates.

You should not delete your RAW files after editing them and creating jpg's. The RAW files are your digital negatives, and are actually far more useful and valuable than the jpg version. I find that I often go back and re-edit my RAW files from years ago as my LightRoom and Photoshop skills improve. As JimHess noted, you don't actually need to create jpg's unless you are supplying them to someone else, or uploading to a photo sharing site.
