If you hold down the Shift key while opening an image in Photoshop from Camera Raw, it will open as a smart object. You can also set this as the default action by clicking on the Work?ow Options link under the image (the blue, underlined information that looks like a hyperlink), and checking the Open in Photoshop as a Smart Objects checkbox.
