Now we are getting somewhere. I think I will be better off starting in Bridge, going into Camera Raw, then on to PhotoShop. I'm beginning to question the value of LR altogether even though some of the adjustments are quick fixes that work great. Importing, Exporting, and Edit copy, just seem like a lot of extra work to get to one, final image that is mostly created in PS.
Thanks for the very prompt, accurate, and helpful advice.
