When you shoot RAW+JPEG is there any way to get lightroom to show you what JPEG looks like without importing them separately?
Thanks,

Geoff, will the "embedded & sidecar" option use the sidecar jpeg file as a preview? Or will it create a preview from that jpeg? The manual isn't very clear on this...

I can see how this page: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Lightroom/2.'/WSB5EF6E7A-CA74-43a5-9137-372'2D8EC28A.html
could be misinterpreted.
However "To display the largest possible preview available from the camera, choose Initial Previews > Embedded & Sidecar. This option may take longer than a Minimal preview but is still faster than rendering a standard-size preview." does say "preview available from the camera" which clearly means the camera generated jpeg or preview which is a jpeg anyway.
All the best.........
