You don't have to perform the file download from card to computer using LR or PSE, all you have to do is organize your file system and download to the appropriate directories.
Using Lightroom's facilities to do the downloading does have its other benefits ... I have LR automatically assign IPTC metdata (creator name/address/contact info/copyright) and some basic keywords for the particular event to all files when I download, also perform DNG conversion on the fly and split a second backup copy of the original files to an external archive. Sometimes I have it apply a Develop preset as well. It can save a good bit of time later. Godfrey On Jan 23, 2008, at 7:55 AM, David J Brooks wrote: > Thats what i'm finding now.
