i am curious about your RAW workflow and how you prevent your drives from getting cluttered up too much from all these big RAW/PSD files.
my workflow so far:
shoot RAW, import into Lightroom, rate photos, five stars go into PS for more detail work. So I end up with 2 files in Lightroom: the RAW file (around 60MB) and the PSD that sometimes tops out at 200MB.
What do you do next? Keep both just in case you need to fiddle with the settings/layers again? Or do you export the PSD as a DNG or TIFF, then import this new file into Lightroom and blow the PSD and RAW away to make room? Seems kind of too many steps.
So what is your workflow for files you know you won't change anymore?
