I have been trying to understand the basics of how the software works. It seems Lightroom is a database program that modifies copies of image files for a particular result. The original files from my understanding are never touched only the copies. I believe when Lightroom starts I choose the Source of the images and the destination of the adjusted contents. Catalogs are the collections of the adjusted/modified data recorded by Lightroom at a location of my choosing. I choose to Source my image files from an external device and store the Catalog (which I name) on the same external device. When I open Lightroom I double click the Catalog and Lightroom opens that Catalog or collection of data concerning the adjusted images. When I wish to export the final edited data file I can choose what format, namely .tiff, jpeg or whatever. Is this accurate ?
