[Leica] Learning Lightroom

[Aram]

From what I have read, it does not make difference what order you do things 
in LR.  LR itself will decide what order to apply them when you output the 
image.  Maybe a particular order helps you visualize what you have and where 
you are going, but if you did it in any other order the output would be the 
same.  This is of course not so in a destructive editor like Photoshop where 
order does matter.

I treat workflow in the same way I coached pole vaulters.  They are all 
wacko with their superstitions.  Rock back and forth 3 times.  Take two 
skips.  Throw your head back, pick up the pole and run.  Wacko.  In other 
words, do what ever you think works and go for it.

PS.  Hope there are no pole vaulters on the list.

I read that LR specifically ordered the adjustments from top to bottom in 
the order they should be applied. Have you found that to be true? I always 
work in order from top to bottom.
