You can view this Adobe video to get a better understanding of how to work files between Lightroom and Photoshop.

Hope this helps you get a better grasp of things.

Oh yeah! This helps. Will work with the Ps lessons here and in other places.

Here is the next big question: Lr Plus Ps or does camera raw and bridge make Lr redundant? Thinking of getting Lr anyways and use it until I am ready to move only to Ps. Then the data base... is it compatible? Does it even ever make sense to move to only Ps? Then what is the role of Camera Raw and Bridge?
