				So when I first open a Raw image in photoshop it lets me adjust the tones (whites, darks, exposure, saturation etc). But I can also make these adjustments after the image has been opened. So what's the difference?  |

This page might help you out. | 	  
 
 
Great stuff and awesomely explained!
 
 
Do the tone settings in Adobe Lightroom (exposure, saturation etc) also get applied on a Raw level? I think they must do, but want to check the facts. |
