1. Re: My questions regards Camera Raw

Once you have edited images in Photoshop they have to be saved to a different format. Photoshop cannot make permanent changes to a raw file. If you have modified an image in Camera Raw those changes will be stored in a XMP file. And you can tell Lightroom to read the changes from the file. Conversely, if you tell Lightroom to write the changes to a file, then Camera Raw will be able to read the XMP file that Lightroom produces.
2. Not quite sure what is happening here. Done will just save and close the image, whereas Save will allow you to save another copy and then close the image. But the original image that is saved should be the same either way.
3. When working in Photoshop you can use the menu option, File/Open, to open a raw image. It will open in Camera Raw. If you want to open a JPEG image In Camera Raw, then use File/Open As, and change the file type to Camera Raw (or however it is described, I cannot remember) and the JPEG will open in Camera Raw. -

You would have been better off asking on the Camera Raw Forum, not Photoshop (since you posted it only to the Windows side).
As for your questions, you can indeed coordinate settings to and from Camera Raw and Lightroom but it's a matter of understanding how metadata editing works...In Camera Raw/Bridge, settings are saved in the file or in a side car file...in Lightroom settings are saved in the Lightroom catalog database, not the file or side car UNLESS you specifically instruct Lightroom to read or write the settings to or from the file.
So, what Camera Raw does to a file will need to be read FROM the file inside of Lightroom. Just make no mistake that once the image in actually processed and opened inside of Photoshop, it's no longer a raw file but a processed file and anything you do to it afterwards in Photoshop will not be in the original raw file.
The other questions aren't really Lightroom questions and would be better of posted in the Camera Raw forum...

rollsnut Mar 9, 2010 3:30 PM (in response to Jeff Schewe)Thanks Jeff and Jim:
When I went into the Forums page for Adobe I didn't see the Camera Raw forum listed. Now that I see how to get to it you response makes perfect sense and I will direct my question there.
Thanks again for your help because it does answer part of my post.
