Lightroom question

Hello,
(Already posted in retouching forum)

I'm currently using a trial version of LR and I have one question my test doesn't give an answer to (until now).

I'm taking picture in RAW format with my Nikon D200 playing with WB, Color mode contrast setting, Saturation and sharpening variations. (The four RAW parameters know by Capture 4 and NX2)

When I import the pictures in LR, it seems that only the WB balance setting is "as out of the camera". The other RAW ajustments seems to be lost.

Is it the normal behavoir of LR or is it me who doesn't see the differences between pictures

Thanks for your answers
