Have imported a batch of images to LR but not yet developed any. Will they export as Raw files to an external editor?
 
No. If you open an image in an external editor, the image will always be rendered as tiff or psd, regardless of whether you applied any edits or not. Edits you did make will be applied to the rendered image.
 
Thanks for the prompt reply. That's what I needed to know.
 
Many thanks for the info and link to Open Directly. Seems to be just want I need and I will try it.
 
When I click the downloaded file, cloud-native LR Classic CC opens with an Adobe message to start a free trial. The zip file doesn't appear. Is Open Directly not usable on my LR Perpetual/Standalone 6.14 license?
 
Problem solved and OK now. My error when opening 'Open Directly'. Am on the 'learning curve' base but OD seems to be the answer. Thanks again.
