I've noticed that when I edit a NEF file in Nikon Capture by for example changing the white balance, the size of the saved file changes. Does this mean that a) information is being lost by the editing, thus editing in NC is not like using layers in Photoshop or b) that the information is all there, but changes in the file size are due to the compression algorithm being less or more efficient changes are made?
My guess is that NC is making the changes to the underlying data, therefore it makes sense to retain an unedited copy.
Also, is NEF lossless? I heard rumours that it uses a lossy compression algorithm.
