Personally, I leave them off. They are redundant for my workflow ... I hardly ever use Photoshop anymore and don't use any of the rest of the Creative Suite. I protect myself against loss of data by having an excellent, doubly-redundant backup and archiving system which stores all original image file and maintains catalog backups for me in an automated fashion. I've lost a couple of hard drives along the way, but I've never lost more than a few minutes worth of editing work. :-) -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
