    The changes will still be there in lightroom when you come back to it. To create a new file with the changes, select the photo in the library and then export it to create a new jpg in the location of your choosing.
    Thanks,

    In LR2, edits like cropping and aspect changes require you to hit the Close button to confirm the changes. All other changes are immediate and non-destructive.

    As Jeff indicated, if you want a permanent version of your changes, simply export the image(s)

    Simpler than that. Just create a "snapshot" of the treatment you like.
