Where do I save the changes I make to my images?<\/h2>\n
With Lightroom’s parametric non-destructive editing, the changes you’ve made while processing your images are automatically saved in the Catalog. You do not need to save the changes for them to stick within Lightroom. If you want to share the image with the adjustments applied you can export a copy directly from Lightroom.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n
Why is there a question mark on some of my images (or why are they grayed out when importing?)<\/h2>\n
You probably have reorganized (by moving or renaming) your images from the specific locations Lightroom is looking for them in, and this is the cause for the missing link icon.<\/p>\n
