So we imported photos to laptop as CR2, i culled and sent to my boss as a catalog. She used the catalog to edit in Lightroom but only now realized that the catalog makes the images way smaller so people wont be able to print.

 

Can i revert to images back to CR2 after editing as catalog?

    The catalog doesn't change the images in any manner whatsoever. Lightroom is a parametric editor, which means that the master images are untouched. The changes are stored in the catalog, leaving the master images unchanged. When the catalog was sent to your boss were the CR2 images also sent, or was she only sent the catalog?

     

    Another question. Are we talking about Lightroom Classic or are we talking about Lightroom?

    I've moved this from the Using the Community forum (which is the forum for issues using the forums) to the LR forum so that proper help can be offered.
