that's false.

you can work with an image without ever using the develop module with it.

Personally, I don't use *Quick Develop* in the Library module.

that's one way, but not the only way. another is syncing adjustments over a batch of files.

Which, by the way, I wouldn't call "work with" them. You've just batch-edited a bunch of photos, not actually worked with any of them. You've only worked with one, then.

nospam
you might not, but everyone else does.

those images have been edited *without* a preview.

Sandman
True enough, as I said. I wasn't in reference to that kind of "work", but if you want to nitpick a small detail to try to falsify my otherwise 100% correct statement, be my guest - it doesn't change anything of what I said.

Any real photographer that uses LR to work with their photos would have 1:1 previews of their photos.
