So for people who do use LR5's off line editing for faster processing with Smart Previews as described below:

http://blogs.adobe.com/jkost/2013/04/editing-off-line-files-in-the-lightroom-5-beta-using-smart-previews.html

Is there a way to remove the smart previews and to go back to the full size files after you have finished editing and outputted the final files?

Thinking of doing as a final step before archiving of the whole wedding set.

library>previews>discard smart previews

but i wouldn't even worry about that, once you relink them it references the high res.

umm... ya you can just use the smart previews to cull and edit and then just use the smart previews and catalog to write over your old one and voila everything is done and the regular files are ready to go.

How do you use smart previews for culling?

So I create the smart previews (SP) and:
1) Take the original files offline for faster processing
2) Do culling - removing the undesirables using the SP
3) Edit using the SP
4) Re-attach the originals back online and export final files

So how can I get the original files off the drive for the images I culled using the SPs?

If I understand the process correctly, the original files are all there but I don't want the originals for the culled images - I want those images gone - originals and SPs files.

Take a look at this thread, it's well written by the OP on how to do this.

Thanks for the link - it describes how to edit using SP but not how to cull the original files using SP.

Guess there is no way to cull the original files using SP...

I believe there is no difference between editing and doing culling with what he has outlined other than you cull in library and edit in develop. Either way mine is lagless so I can't say for sure if it's a benefit to you to use smart previews to cull.

If you flag rejects using smart previews you can then do the delete when re-linking the files. That deletes both previews and originals. Or you can delete when using smart previews and then rename the keepers which will allow you to manually select and delete the rejects later.
