I have a quick question .... when I render and save (capture rendering, save file) and re-open the file the next day or whenever, a lot of times (not all, though), it will not show the final rendering ... it will show like the first one that I did, so I have to re-render, which wastes time and drives me nuts! 

I looked in previous forum posts and from what I can tell, others have had this problem but no one seems to know why or how to fix it.  Is this still true, or is there an answer finally to help?  Thank you  : -)

I can't remember if this happens to me or not but if it did, it is probably because the program doesn't write over an existing file by the same name.  I would just blow the old file away or rename it before I created the new one.

I think the problem is there is a differance between Capture Rending and Export Image. When you Capture it adds it the the Rendering List, when you export it, it just saves it to a file, not both.

Basic rule of thumb for Revit is to never 'capture' the rendering.  This embeds the image file within Revit an bloats up the size of your project.  Always export the image and in almost all cases you will want to do a bit of post-processing in an image editor (Photoshop).

Thank you, Tom.  I didn't know you weren't supposed to capture the rendering .... I usually do that and also export an image.  I was capturing the rendering so I could add our company's logo in the corner .... can't do that before it's been captured (or at least I don't know how).   I'll figure out another way to do the logo thing ..... I suppose you can do it by taking the image into photoshop and adding it there.  Thank you for your advice ... I really appreciate it  : -)
