This presents to you an interface where you can process your image before you even open it really in Photoshop or Lightroom proper. By the time it gets to these programs main interfaces many people feel the image doesn't need any more work at all. Maybe people are skipping Photoshop altogether and just going from the raw filter to Lightroom. Not me. Once in Photoshop yes there is a vignetting control but frankly it is not as good to use as the one in the the Adobe raw filter you'd have used ahead of time. One is often set up so a tiff or jpeg also gets opened up first in the raw filter even though these are of course not raw files. I ahve shot nothing by raw for many years and either has most photographers I know but the raw filter can come in handy opening an old tiff or jpeg.
