Mmm. That's not correct. I could stop using LR tomorrow and not lose anything except my un-completed edits. It's a matter of both workflow and policy. - When you edit metadata in LR, if you save to disk occasionally (like you should) the metadata and any editing parameters are stored in a sidecar file with each raw format image or embedded in the image itself if the image is DNG or JPEG format. - When you complete a rendering in LR, you should export it as a finished image. This wraps together all the image edits as well as any metadata you've annotated the image with and creates a new file will all that information completely outside the LR environment. Any image processing app that opens JPEG or TIFF output would be able to display exactly what you did, and all the metadata annotation, that was created with LR. AND if I were to decide a year later that I'd like to use LR again, just re-open the database with a newly downloaded version of LR and everything will pop right back into place.
