"Develop" is what you do in software if you store the pictures in the camera as "raw" rather than jpeg. My cameras of course take pictures in dots, R, G, B, just like a color CRT plays them ... each is a separate pixel.. You need software to interpolate and generate R,G and B at each and every pixel.

Manipulations you make before this conversion are completely LINEAR which
is a big benefit. Also, and even more important .... if the image taken
in the camera has color fringes these can be removed most easily. (Point and shoot cameras do this defringing in the camera, which is easy if you don't have interchangeable lenses. That's one reason the point and shoots are so good.)
