The Camera Raw Cache stores the processed raw data used to build the Develop module preview. To open the Preferences dialog click the "Edit" menu item then select "Preferences." The default value is 1 GB which is somewhat small. One setting you might want to change is the "Camera Raw Cache" located in the Preferences dialog under the File Handling tab.

There are no color management settings to adjust for this module. There's not much to setup for Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3's Develop module. Lightroom Develop Module Preferences and Setup Holding the "Shift" key down toggles between the "Open Image" and "Open Object" button within the Camera Raw interface should you wish to open an image instead.

Because editing a raw file in Camera Raw is non-destructive, it's ok to oscillate back and forth between tabs and sliders. Adjusting a particular slider in one tab may affect tonal or color qualities which need to be re-adjusted in another tab. Realize that editing in camera raw is non-destructive so it is ok to re-adjust a previous setting. The relevance of the remaining steps depends on the individual needs of the particular file. Steps 2, 3, and 10, are used on every initial edit. The next tab on this page is a high-level example of my typical camera raw workflow.
