The workflow for post-processing a raw photo is different. It's, maybe, like the difference between a command-line interface and a windowing-system interface. You need to know a lot of 'under the cover' stuff. The upside is, you have a lot more control of that 'under the cover' stuff.

A more concrete example ... at work many of my colleagues use Windows XP Explorer's "search" feature. Because I'm a command-line nerd, I have found that the command-line command "findstr" is much faster. Some of my colleagues are willing to wait for Explorer "search". Others of them are grateful when I show them "findstr".

Ya' pays yer money and ya' takes yer chances.
