sorry I'm a newbie at this. just able to open my RAW files today

what do you guys use this for most? usually the biggest issue I have is with lighting. im sure this will help fine adjust that.

just curious of typical routines for this

thanks

I read somewhere that Lightroom has the order from top to bottom on the development pane. Is that correct?

Yes that is correct. They set it up just for that reason. Start at the top and work your way down.

Top to bottom will work, though I find you can't judge color until the exposure's fixed. I do exposure, brightness, color temp, contrast, blacks, vibrance.

Color corrections or below exposure in LR.

Exposure is second from the top with white balance being on top. Color is below that. So I'm not sure what you're talking about.

What I mean is top to bottom will work, but you'll probably go top to bottom then have to start at the top again to tweak some things. My main point is I find you need to correct the exposure before you can correct the white balance, contrast, and saturation. This is just from experience, not theory, I shoot in all kinds of light at weddings - 2500K to 12,000K and mixed lighting.

LR2 - top to bottom works here. Occasionally I get lazy and just hit "Auto" :-)

Agree.
Even the sharpness/NR can be affected by a (pretty big) WB correction for instance.

I always correct exposure first if needed
