In my experience, that's been true of every raw converter I've tried.
None of them alter your original image, some keep your changes in a data
base, some keep your changes in a side car file, but the original file
is left untouched.

I think you're missing the point of Lightroom a little. It doesn't let
you resize your image, it doesn't let you do *anything else* to it.
One of the main *advantages* of Lightroom is that it never alters your
original image at all. Ever. You set adjustments that are stored in a
database but are never applied to the image at all - they're only
applied to *copies* that you make when exporting. That way you can
never damage your original and you can change your mind, revise and
reinterpret it ad infinitum without loss of quality.
