Hi Beau, by the time you start editing your image in the Develop persona, it's already been demosaiced. Anything done in Develop offers two technical advantages: The development is done in 32-bit float, meaning pixel values aren't clipped until you click Develop and move to the Photo persona. It uses a wide colour space for development called ROMM RGB (essentially ProPhoto), meaning you can intensity colours without clipping them—very useful for imagery with lots of artificial light
