[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 575104, member: 9240"] One more thing with your video. When you're opening in Ps and after you click Open Image you say, "All those adjustments are [I]baked in[/I]", that's actually incorrect. Those adjustments are sitting in the XMP sidecar file. If you open the [B][I]RAW[/I][/B] file again in Photoshop it will open Camera Raw and [U]apply the original adjustments from the sidecar file[/U][I]. [/I]You can now tweak them to your hearts content and then open the image into Photoshop again. What's confusing you is that once you're in Photoshop you're no longer dealing with a photograph (ie. the Raw image), you're dealing with a [B][I]Photoshop document sourced from a photograph[/I][/B]. It's more a graphic arts processor that works really well with photographs. Now, your starting place is still available, but once you've gone from Camera Raw to Photoshop you're now "photoshopping", something that cannot be saved with the Raw file. This is inherently different from Lightroom, which only utilizes the Camera Raw engine in the Develop module, and like Capture NX all those settings stay in the catalog forever so "years from now" when you open the photo again (you actually don't "open" a photo in Lr, you access it in the catalog and saves are automatic, unlike C-NX).
