    Exporting and getting back the original settings

      Just some basic questions if Lightroom 1 and 2 really behaves this way:

      - When I export a picture I edited in the Develop module as a different file name, Lightroom then remembers those changes I made from that particular picture when I go back to the Library module.

      - If i try to import the exported file, Lightroom 2 will give two previews of the same edited picture. The exported picture and the original. However, what I wanted Lightroom to do is to retain the original picture so that the edited will also appear in the library.

      - When I try to import the original picture again, Lightroom said that the picture already exists in the catalog.

      Are there any workarounds so that when I export an edited picture, lightroom retains the original picture for comparison purposes?
