Obviously not, since you added a few swings with your club.

Lightroom generates working files edit reference only. These working
files are converted from the raw files during the import process, but
are not used for the final output. When you generate a export, it
converts the file from the raw file all over again.

Moose, you are an oddity. I'm sorry to have included you in the
collective, generic, "you". I know that you are unique, just like
everyone else.

As "you" are more interested in singular images, not collections of
images, the one off, exception based, hand-crafted methodology is
great for "you". It's like my handcrafting B&W prints. It's great on a
one-by-one basis, but stinks in a production environment.

So, why are you so eager to dis' alternative methods of accomplishing
the same tasks that just might be quicker and just as effective?
As you know, I really like Lightroom initially, then railed on it for
a year or so when it stunk up the show, but now that it has grown up
more, and is part of the affordable CC package, I'm all good with it
again. The ACR engine is not as good as some of the others (Capture 1,
for example), but is decent enough to accomplish the task and have
become the industry standard.
