 Tom, Lightroom is also fully integrated to Photoshop. I have both open normally they interact nicely together and you can move from one to other seamlessly. Just cmd click on the image and choose 'Edit in Photshop'. All the ACR adjustments are applied just as if you had opened in Photoshop ACR and clicked OK. You can also run HDR and Panoramic stitching right from within Lightroom.

However to keep your ACR in photoshop up to date you need to update photoshop, Lightroom will integrate and work with any version of photoshop and the update cost of Lightroom is small compared to Photoshop and doesn't require the CC model. It willll aso integrate into elements if you wish.

You do get the Dam and other features but did you know you can actually hide modules if you don't want them? I think this is the closest you will get to stand alone ACR.
