You edit the raw in what, Adobe Camera Raw? You are using the Open command to allow it to render the edits, then you see it in Photoshop, and what?

yes utilizing camera raw . it appears that the brightening i did was not saved and i have to re brighten it and save again (as jpg)

I'm using Monterey 12.6.5 to open the Photo.jpg in Bridge, then Ctrl-r to open in ACR 15.3

Then I make a change there, and click Done. I'll know the changes took so when I open it in Photoshop, it calls up ACR.

I click the Open button and when I close it in Photoshop, and it asks me to Save, I save as Photo1.jpg That will open directly in Ps without losing the changes.

If you try it that way, do you keep the changes?

ok but my question was is anyone else experiencing this in PS

(thanks i may try lightroom or another product to see how it looks)

I carefully checked again. It opens in Ps with the adjustments saved. I did an exagerated change in color balance to be sure.

So its OK; it does open in PS with adjustments. 

The edits are parametric (instruction based). You could edit a JPEG in Adobe Camera Raw and just select Save. Then open that JPEG in anything but Adobe Camera Raw (or Lightroom Classic), and you would not see the edits. Adobe Camera Raw must render, and apply the edits for you to see them. Is this the issue?
