That turns out to be a very good question, Chris. I had to shoot some
RAW +jpg to make sure I do know what is going on in LR.
It appears that picture settings are a kind of in-camera PP and only
affect jpg. In camera exposure and WB, of course, are starting-points
for RAW development. FastStone viewer shows the tethered RAW and jpg
files to look identical. But when I pulled a RAW image into PS via LR
without adjustments, it differs from the jpg with respect to picture
settings.
My old Viewer program allows you (in E-1 development) to apply and/or
edit picture settings in RAW development. Silly me, I was hoping LR
was actually doing the same thing.
