Thanks bulldog! I'll look into this.

Hi everyone, Hope you're all doing well. I'm on the verge of kicking LR out of my system. The only thing preventing this are its superb management and organizing features. Even though I mostly use Capture One Pro now, I have to admit that it does not have the robust features of LR for managing files and that I fear to rely solely on it. In fact, on several occasions in the past months, I encountered the dreadfull "link is missing to the database" message and had to reimport everything, loosing all variants along the way, as well as colour labels and app specific ratings or keywords I may have created, of course. Luckily, I had LR to recover some of this information. Does anybody use a DAM application on the side? Which would be your suggestions to help me out on this? I'll greatly appreciate any suggestion. Thanks to all and have a great afternoon.

RAW is RAW, that tells it, no ? What affects the RAW are you settings during exposure (ISO, shutter speed, aperture, exposure compensation) that's it. Things you fix with the Q menu, shadows, highlights, film simulation, etc. are only applied on JPEG if you shoot it or if you shoot RAW+Fine for example.

Absolutely none
