I shoot Nikon and have been using Lightroom since version 4. Never used Bridge or Adobe Camera Raw. Want to progress with layers in Photoshop, but am having difficulty with the overall work flow. Watched a tutorial by Serge Ramelli, who exhibited working from Bridge to ACR, to PS, and provided very little info on file types and moving from one software package to the other. I could use some advice on work flow from those of you more advanced.
Start with my photo in LR, downloaded from card in DNG format.
I can click "Edit in Photoshop", and PS opens with the image.
I can click Open Camera Raw Filter (name which makes no sense to me) and do the basic edits there
When done with the basic stuff, I can save, but that is where I get over my pay grade.
File format, where (how do I get the edited version back in to LR?) color space, etc. When I do use bridge and click Edit in PS, it opens ACR automatically. Maybe I don't have my preferences set correctly?
My Adobe Photoshop book is pretty thin on what I am looking to learn.

John. I found this little book very helpful for just this issue.
