I haven't had any reason to edit an image in LR after I've edited it in PS, unless I'm making a different version of the same image. In those cases I work with the LR version.

I can see saving the post PS into a directory and all but... If I am thinking correctly then if I return to Lr with the PS edited version then that version is included in the Lr data base and is also available for more versioning. This becomes a big deal as the handling of noise in one Huge reason to go to Ps. Eventually want to make composites and can see having Lr as a coordinator vis data base and tagging system being a good thing.

Then again the other part of the question is since there is Camera Raw and Bridge does it make redundant the use Lr at all. Just make it my business to learn how to do it all within Ps?

Sorry for the confusion

Yes this is what I am talking about. I do much that is low key and it will be better processed though Ps.

Any more ideas, Suggestions, Anecdotes?

Thank you.
