Welcome to RTP, M...

I'm a bit confused... there are three "modules" to CS3 and they have different purposes and capabilities.

Photoshop: The main editing program

Camera Raw: Opens all CRW files and lets you adjust color, white balance, contrast, sharpening and other "dark room" tools.

Bridge: A cataloging and viewing database that lets you sort, rate, label and track folders and files of Tiff, CRW, JPEG, EPS, PDF, PSD, video and other presentation files. There are a few things, such as create contact sheets or web galleries, but for the most part there is NO pixel editing capability inside Bridge.

Do you have your meta data window open in bridge? It will display the IPTC core data of the photo as shot. Below that you will see the Camera Raw settings that you have applied and uses this information to adjust the image's representation on the screen. If you are only viewing the IPTC meta information, you will see any CRW adjustments update on the screen, but the IPTC data does not reflect those changes since that information is in the CR portion of the meta data pane.
