A lot of mags will require .dng files for submissions, because they keep not only the .exif data, but everything you do to manipulate the photo- the entire history of the shot. If I shoot in RAW, I leave it in RAW.
When you import shit from your camera, LEAVE IT AS IS. When you have reason to export, decide depending on the scenario. Internet? Lower res jpegs. Mag submission? Find out what the mag wants. Sending it to your friend? Give him jpeg, his computer may not read anything else.

i have a folder titled "creek" with shots from the nearby creek and i also have it opened in Lightroom 3...when i edit the photos in Lightroom I hit "Save Metadata" then i click "Synchronize Photos" on the left hand side where it also has my folder "creek." But thne I click my Hard Drive icon on my desktop --> open up "Pictures" --> "creek" and they aren't the same as the ones in Lightroom now, how i want, they are the original still...

If you're using lightroom, you're making a commitment to lightroom. Instead of going into folders when you want to get your photos out, highlight them in lightroom and click "export".

booooom! thanks man, I had it saved as "rename file" instead of overwrite...if i just want to keep the original on some photos, then I obviously change it beforehand correct? otherwise if i have image001.jpg and image001-2.jpg and I only want image001-2.jpg ... then I will delete the the other but thne Lightroom 3 won't read it 
i think i got it..thanks man

why why why? Your "quality photos" are no longer top quality when they are compressed the second you take them
if you camera can shoot RAW then save in RAW
