To the pixels. nospam is incorrect here. All LR adjustments are applied to a preview file and saved to disk.
the changes are rendered on the fly and may be cached to disk (which is the preview file you're talking about). the latter is optional.
It's not optional. All images in LR are always rendered as previews. They are kept inside your LR library.
it is optional.
previews are for a responsive user interface.Of course.
they are not required as part of a non-destructive workflow.They are, however, required in Lightroom's workflow, which is non-destructive.
It can be, and is, both. The parameters are applied to the pixels as they are made, in the preview file. Also, of course, in any exported files.nospamit is not a pixel editor.Sandman
Sure it is, only in another sense than old Photoshop. Every single adjustment you make in LR are applied to the pixels and saved to disk as a preview image. Difference is that the original file is always kept intact so every step is fully reversible.
nope. lightroom is a parametric editor, not a pixel editor.
Using it as I described above makes it one, yes.Sandmannospam
In fact - using smart filters in Photoshop is *less* of a pixel editor than LR these days, because the pixels are never touched, it's all kept in RAM and the resulting image is never saved to disk until you export/save it. Also, fully reversible of course. :)
photoshop is a pixel editor but can be used in a non-destructive manner. that doesn't make it a parametric editor.
