Wayne, yes - those are examples of the \'behind the scenes\' LAB processing. When you set the layer mode in RGB to be \'color\' it does the processing in LAB mode. It just does it behind the back of the user. Same thing with luminosity.
As for LAB<->RGB conversions affecting IQ, I don\'t see how that would be possible. LAB mode is orders of magnitude larger than RGB so any transitions should be lossless.
