Download from camera to LR, cull, make improvements (?) and then transfer to CS3 at 16 bits. If necessary a few more tweaks, crop and then save as jpeg.


I rarely to never use DPP.


I backup RAWs on my 2nd internal HD and then to 2 external HDs w/some of the WOW jpegs.


Firestarter; why do you "never directly download from the camera"? Maybe it is my imagination, but the pix seem to download faster camera to LR w/my setup.
