Editing a Photo with a plug-in

When you are editing a raw file, and Lightroom and Photoshop are current and using the same version of Camera Raw, then you won't see that prompt. That's because when the image transfers from Lightroom to Photoshop camera raw is simply used to convert the image from a raw file to a RGB file that Photoshop can use. Then, at the end of the Photoshop session, Photoshop will save a new file that will be returned to Lightroom.

If you are editing a JPEG or TIF file in Lightroom then you will be given the option to edit a copy with Lightroom settings or edit the original.
