Hey Guys,

I am using Adobe Lightroom, and Photoshop CS2 on a computer at work, and one at home. I transfer the files back and forth on a USB Hardrive. I color balance, and exposure correct my raw files, with lightroom 1.0. But when I take them to the other location, the changes I made, are not there anymore. Is there a way to have the raw settings saved in the raw file, instead of lightrooms database? The raw files are Canon .cr2 and .crw.

Any help would be appreciated.

Go to preferences/file management.
Select the "automatically write changes to xmp" in the metadata section.
This creates a "sidecar" xmp file for every picture, wich contains the corrections you make.
Be sure to copy this file with your picure.

Thanks for the information, else I was about to dump Lightroom because I didn’t know it has the option to save the change to XMP file.
