I always shoot RAW and I process all I can in Lr and finally export as JPEG for website, printing, social networking and so on.
If I use Ps it’s to clone out something via context aware edits or to put a stroke border round an image.
The fact that Ps exports as a lossless TIFF has made me assume that I maintain the same control on image variables as a RAW file. However, I have been told that the TIFF conversion ‘bakes in’ certain parameters such as exposure, so that if I choose to edit the TIFF back in Lr, I’ve lost some flexibility that would was available to me in RAW format. Please can someone confirm or deny this?
Related question: Now that I’m also often using Topaz for noise reduction and sharpening at an early stage in my workflow, have I junked some of the parameter control that I had in RAW when I return the Topaz edited TIFF image to Lr for onward post production?
