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.
For the most part, PhotoShop does the same thing when working with RAW images. The
original DNG or PEF file remains after you create a tiff, and a simple click on
"camera default" takes you right back to where you started. Not true with jpegs
or tiffs of course, but since I work with RAW exclusively, I know I always have the
original image data.

Unless they are really really total trash I keep all my raw files, too
Glad I read this thread - now I know I'll never wan't lightroom :-) I
also like doing my resizing on an individual basis depending on
what the intended use of the particular photo is.
