Re: [Digital BW] Making me crazy: Can't export bw conversions

2013-06-10 by Kip Babington

How did you "convert" them?  Lightroom, for example, just records all 
your changes in a file associated with the original, and applies those 
changes when you later view the image.  But the original file itself is 
not changed.  I think you have to do a "save as" to a new file name or 
format in order to get a single file incorporating the changes.
