I told you this thread would probably become a series of dumb Qs
I bought Barbara's book for PSE5; probably should do so for 7
Not sure if this is a PSE Q or an ACR Q but here goes. When I had PSE5 and opened a RAW image I got ACR ver. 4.3. After I installed PSE7 and then opened my first RAW image ACR had become ver. 4.5. Now, I have not done anything at all to "upgrade" ACR so the new version obviously "came with" the PSE7 install.
Look at this. Whenever I opened image(s) as RAW, the ACR screen perfectly filled the space on my monitor. Now, with PSE7, this new version of ACR doesn't quite fit. Look down at the bottom and see how part is cut off. Well, I know what's supposed to be where so as long as I can click on a part of the button it works.

(the ACR screen doesn't give you those little icons in upper right corner as are common with most Windows panes so I don't have an easy way to manually resize the window) any ideas?
My first Q isn't that big a deal -- not the end of the world if I can't fix it. This second Q is a real big deal to me.
I shoot everything in RAW. My practice has been to open 5 images at a time from PSE Edit. The first image opens in ACR, I finish my adjustments and click "Open Image". The image opens in PSE Edit and then the screen jumps back to ACR where the second image opens; this repeats thru the 2d, 3d, 4th and 5th images. After the last one (5th) I am sitting in PSE Edit with all five thumbnails sitting in the Photo Bin.
Soooooo, here I go today. Opened 5 images, did my ACR processing for the first one, clicked "open image", it moved into PSE Edit --
and that was it, nothing else, Nada. The other four images were gone, not deleted, just gone from ACR. The only way I could function was open one image at a time in ACR - work it, send it to PSE. One at at a time.
The big new deal I see in ACR 4.5 is the row of thumbnails down the left side of the screen. That tells me that I have indeed opened more than one image. But the first time I send any one of them to PSE, ACR closes and they all are gone.
Am I doing something dumb?
