It isn't working and I don't know why? I am working in Adobe Camera
Raw on a NEF file than I hold down the shift key to open it in
Photoshop as a smart object which it does fine. Now I right click that
file to pick new smart object by copy. Next I select an area of that
image with the quick selection tool and leave it selected. Everything
is working fine. Now I double click on the image thumbnail to go back
into ACR which it does fine and I proceed to darken only the selected
area that I selected in PS. Well the selected area does show as being
selected in ACR and when I go to decrease the exposure the whole image
darkens and not just the area that I selected in PS. What did I do
wrong, why didn't the image come back into ACR selected like I
selected it in PS? Thanks. How do I do what I am trying to do?

You can only adjust exposure in 32-bit mode. You should even see a note
to this effect at the bottom of the image window.

I am not quite sure of what exactly it is you are trying to do, but I
would look to the 32-bit mode as a solution to exposure adjustment.

I am trying to select say just the wall of a building in PS and than
take it back into ACR and make only that part of the building and no
other part of the image darker. This would be a simple way of doing a
specific area of selection. Or even just the sky in an image.
