so. i've been working in photoshop extensively 6 years , aware nothing in photoshop or lightroom supposed overwrite raw file. i'm not talking changing little lighter or darker, i'm talking replacing picture of 1 baseball player 1 - , original? gone.
here's happened: have poster template contains several layers, 7 of smart objects. change pictures in template right-clicking smart object layer , selecting "replace smart object," browsing new image, selecting, , here should happen: target picture opens in adobe camera raw, make small edits, click done or okay or similar, , new image has replaced old 1 in template. did happen this: followed procedure above , selected target raw file, picture in template (the 1 trying replace target file) opened in adobe camera raw. thought - hey, that's wierd! closed acr dialog , tried again. same thing happened. opened lightroom , saw - horror - target file had been changed same image in template.
if clarifies: pictures of player (who played in 2009) in of smart object layers in template. want make poster of player b (who played in 2012) begin replacing smart objects. when 3rd image in poster template, photoshop overwrites raw file of player b smart object photo of player a. there no photos of player on network drive picture of player b on. there's 1 now. raw file shows modified 10 minutes ago.
we tried undoing in photoshop. did nothing. tried deleting xmp file. did nothing. removed lightroom catalog , reimported it. picture of player 2009 , picture of player b 2012 gone.
anybody have idea , how avoid in future?
best,

i not use lightroom use photoshop. photoshop can not write raw file other change metadata. smart object layer contains embedded smart object. embedded smart object copy of photoshop capable of working on. if copy of raw file , raw conversion settings. tiff or layer or sever layer or layer group. can photoshop can work on depends on how smart object made. in case embedded smart object copy not original. when replace contents of smart object layer replace object same size of current embedded smart object every smart object layers has associated transform object. not replaces. example place in raw file photoshop document , transform half document size. can dupe layer twice , move dupes transform half of remaining space. creating picture package. there 1 shared embedded smart object associated 3 smart object layers each own transform. replace smart object content on of there smart object layers replaces contents of 3 layers share common smart object. can create independent smart objects using menu layer>smart objects>new smart object via copy. if transform each of these smart object occupied 1/3 document can replace , work on them independently. double clicking on copies smart icon in layers palette on @ time acr open on embedded smart object using copied raw settings. can change raw settings , click done acr update independent embedded smart object accordantly. can have several raw conversion in single document. if same size , on top of each other can blended versions bring out additional.
now when work on smart object in photoshop double clicking on layer's smart object icon photoshop open temp work document when save photoshop update embedded smart object double clicked on. save on windows system save temp work document in users temp space not know save on mac. need close work document out of photoshop. there nothing stop saving copy on network drive have write access to. did perhaps that.
