[digiKam-users] Workflow question

[Northern Colorado Event Photograph]

I have digiKam 6.0.0 installed on a Dell Latitude E6520 with 64 bit Win 7
SP 1, i5 processor, 8 GB RAM.

Does digiKam apply adjustments such as exposure, white balance, curves,
levels only to a cropped/resized image, once an image is  cropped/resized
(and not to the complete image)?

If so, isn't it better to apply those adjustments after the crop/resize
than before, as the digiKam Handbook Standard Workflow Proposal describes?

For example, if adjustments are only applied to the cropped image, then
logically speaking the calculations required for those adjustments are made
only on the "wanted" pixels of the image and therefore the results should
be "better" since the "unwanted" pixels are not included in the
calculations.

So if it is better not make those adjustments after a crop, why not?
