You don't actually change the image in Lightroom, you just add a instructions on how the image should be adjusted when it is either opened in Photoshop or exported from lightroom. The changes don't actually happen until the image is exported out of Lightroom. This makes all the changes editable and non destructive, where as in Photoshop, if you tweak a pixel, then save the file and come back to it later it can;t be undone in a non destructive way. Man, I hope that makes sense. One key difference between Photoshop and Lightroom is that photoshop edits the image on the pixel level and Lightroom doesn’t.
