1. Re: Opening into ACR from Lightroom
Jim Wilde Jun 5, 2012 7:55 AM (in response to montesjesse)Nothing. If you open directly into PS from Bridge, the raw conversioon still has to be made, hence the opening into ACR. When you use "Edit in..." from within Lightroom, that raw conversion has already been done within LR (using the same conversion engine as ACR), so no need to open into ACR.

2. Re: Opening into ACR from Lightroom
JimHess Jun 5, 2012 8:15 AM (in response to montesjesse)As far as raw conversion is concerned, you accomplish nothing by going from Lightroom to ACR because the controls are the same. Photoshop uses ACR to interpret the Lightroom adjustments. But, theoretically, that is all ACR is needed for in the transition from Lightroom to Photoshop. However, there is an option in Lightroom that allows you to open an image as a smart object. Or, once in Photoshop, you can convert an image to a smart object. Then, from Photoshop, you can open the image in ACR to make further adjustments if necessary.
