Like everything you seem to be over thinking it. I edit until I have the picture I want. If that means 5 mins or 5 hours it makes no difference.
But somehow i'm starting to think that there is no real science behind this. Everyone edits the way they think its supposed to be done, i'll read up on those adobe books and figure something out.
Is there an authority you could point me to regarding raw image editing? Right now i'm just doing things until i think its great.

No science at all.
It's art, but there are some generally accepted things that need to be done to just about every digital photograph made. Like setting the white point, the black point, the gray point, color correction, sharpening, mitigating geometrical lens distortion, dodging and burning to help guide the viewers eye, etc.. Some edits are dine globally - equally to the entire image - or only done locally in part of an image. If you make a photo so it has a shallow DoF and a very blurred background, it doesn't make much sense to then globally sharpen the entire photo.

Sure it is. I haven't used LR in a few years, but even then you could do it. Not sure how much it's changed since I last used it, but back then, the adjustment brush would be the tool you want.It's art, but there are some generally accepted things that need to be done to just about every digital photograph made.

I'm not sure if it's even possible to selectively sharpen an image in lightroom. All i can do is do are global adjustments and maybe paint with light and add digital filters, that's as far as my expiernce goes.

The adjustment brush, when I last used LR, could do basically all of the global edits, but selectively with a brush. Anything you could apply globally could be applied with the brush.
I think 2.4 was the last version I used... I went 100% Linux about the same time the next update came out.
Not even close. I loved LR.Was lightroom limiting you in some way?
