*Both* Adobe LightRoom and current latest ARC can do all the options
available to RAW format on standard graphic formats like JPG, TIFF etc..
and
as well as Photoshop which has been doing for quite sometime except most

retoucher not for photographer specific so it treats these options as
additional.
