together) in Lightroom? I'm not sure if the intention of this file type is to have a jpeg ready with the edits applied? Or would only one part of the file be edited?ДЄpologies if these are dumb questions, but I can't figure out the best way to proceed and can't find any specific answers to my questions - any reading recommendations would also be highly appreciated. Question 3: Can rw2+jpeg files be edited all in one go (i.e. Question 2: If the rw2+jpeg files have an embedded jpeg, should I delete/remove any other jpegs with same filename even if they appear larger than the rw2+jpeg files? Would a 16mg rw2+jpeg contain more actual data than a 16mg jpeg (that doesn't sound logical)? Question 1: What priority should I allocate to the file types - should I select all the RW2+jpeg files over the jpeg and raw? Should the next choice be the RW2 files over the jpegs? The original file creation dates were also lost in the process and I cannot retrieve them, but that is another issue.

I am not sure how duplicates with different file extensions could have come about since the originals were likely shot in rw2+jpeg or raw (I suspect it is something caused by moving files from one external hdd (PC formatted) to another (Mac format) when I tried to put all photos on the same hard drive prior to reloading. jpeg, and just to make it more complicated, many are simply rw2. I also have what may be duplicates of these files but with the extension. I can't find any clear information about rw2+jpeg files (seems like they may be a Panasonic version of Raw that incorporates a Jpeg?) and many of my files have this extension. Most are from Panasonic cameras and have the above formats. I have about 150,000 files (including many duplicates) and I am putting the collection on Lightroom again, since after a hard drive failure and loss of lrcat files, I need to reload everything.
