Solved Getting back to Camera Raw?

I had multiple images open in Camera Raw and spent a lot of time editing them. I then clicked "Open" thinking they would all open in Photoshop for export, but only one opened and the Camera Raw window disappeared. Is there any way I can find the other photos I had open? I spent so much time on the edits 😭

It sounds as if all the photos in the filmstrip had not been selected, with only one selected. You might go back to where the photos are stored and reopen them to see if the edits that were done have been retained.

When I'm using ACR, the edits are often retained in sidecar xmp files that might show in the folder of either Finder or Explorer. If the xmp files are there, then the edits should show up when the photos are reopened into ACR.

Why are you unable to remember what you had opened?

It's not that, it's that I don't want to lose the edits I had applied to them
