Digital BW, The Print

Exactly. That is what I do too. The original scan or 16 bit raw
capture is color and tonal corrected (how ever you choose to do that)
and archived. The "final" file, retouched and tweaked, with or without
layers, is someting that I save also. 

 As for clients, when I do the scanning its easy, they get a cd of the
"high bit scan" and if I do additional printing I give them a file for
the "final" print and I save one unless they don't want me to. Now
when people bring me their raw camera file, I look at it as their job
to keep track of their raw data, just as they would their negative.
