Hi Piers,
I don't use sidecar files, I convert to DNG the images that I don't shoot
in DNG. If I select a file and in the Library module select
Metadata/update DNG Preview and Metadata, my info that I added in LR
(exposure, rating, corrections, keywords etc..) will be written to the DNG
and I can access that info independently in Photoshop.
I assume that you can do the same with sidecar file raws. I have found
that it's too easy to separate the sidecar from the raw which is why I use
DNG.
