Filter > Camera Raw Filter
Indeed; just not for raw documents.
Michael, are you shooting raw OR you want to use ACR on existing rendered images? That's possible but if you're starting with raw, do all the work possible there rather than later using ACR as a filter.

whats the confusion?  just open the raw file in Photoshop and you're automatically in ACR. Same functionality as LR with a different menu system

Most of the functions of ACR are available in CC2018 and I think as far back as CS6 by looking under the Filter Menu for the Camera Raw filter.

I'll sometimes use this on a snap from my iPhone to craft my image better.

The Develop panel of Lr which is 99% of Lr for most users is fully available in ACR in PS. With the advantage that one can Open the file in PS for further bit processing, especially with specialty filters such as FocusMagic.

See: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2451553

Someone in another forum brought this up and suggested:

Quote
For RAW files the workaround is to leave PS closed and use a right click to open the file. To use the plug-in, go to Preferences/Camera Raw immediately after opening PS. No preference changes are needed.

I am not exactly sure what this means, but maybe you can interpret it and try this suggested workaround.  Maybe similar to the workaround discussed here:

bummer,

PROBLEM SOLVED:

Delete this file: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CC\File Formats\Camera Raw.8bi

Install version 10.1: http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/photoshop/cameraraw/win/10.x/CameraRaw_10_1_win.zip

So, we should delay updating LR Classic until Adobe fixes this?

LR Classic and Photoshop CC 2018 updated fine to ACR 10.2 Windows 10.

For getting images from Lightroom or Photoshop, try opening your images as Smart Objects.   In the latest Photoshop CC, one cqn get back into ACR from the Filter drop-down.

It is; yet, I suggest going to ACR from Lightroom CC Classic Photo> Edit in > Open as a smart object in photoshop. This gives the most flexibility.  Click on the image in the layers panel to go to ACR.  Hope this helps.

What exactly happens when exporting from ACR to PS, then going back to apply a filter? My impression is that PS is solely a pixel-level editor, so exporting ACR to PS is essentially no different than saving the file as a TIFF file in ACR then opening that file in PS. And then applying ACR filters is just like applying ACR to TIFFs/JPEGS, that is, when coming from PS one cannot use the full power of the RAW data. Is this right?

As long as you open the file as a smart object (selected from the Workflow option in ACR) you can re-open ACR with previous ACR edits visible (ie sliders etc) by double clicking the thumbnail in the layer palette.  If you select the ACR filter the initial ACR edits are not there but the changes you make stored in a Smart filter and can be (re-)edited.

Thanks. That deals with one end. Regarding the other, if I edit some image in Lightroom and then

1) click the "export to photoshop" button, make local adjustments in photoshop, sharpen, and then save as 16-bit TIFF,

or

2) export as 16-bit TIFF in Lightroom (no output sharpening), open in PS, make the same local adjustments, sharpen with the same settings, and then save as 16-bit TIFF,

will there be any difference in the two output files? I'm wondering about the technical details of what actually happens when one "exports to PS," since PS doesn't seem to be able to natively read raw image data.

Well given that no-one knows what edits or settings will be used except you (and these will change from image to image I suspect) then I think it's probably best that you do the test yourself on one of your photos and critically examine the 2 outputs to see if, 1) you can see a difference and 2) if there is one, does it matter at your typical viewing/print size and distances.

Yes, you can open a TIFF (or PSD, JPEG) in ACR the plug in if you first select the document type as 'Camera Raw":
As to the 'differences' using ACR as a filter or as the plug-in, not sure. With the plug-in, all processing takes place in high bit, ProPhoto RGB linear gamma processing but as a filter? It might all take place in the native bit-depth and color space.
