I had some 8mm home movies transfered to dvd professionally
but now I want to rip the dvd so I can clean up some frames from the home films. I am using Adobe Premiere and Photoshop
Is there a way to export from Premiere to Photoshop, clean up my film, frame bye frame, and then export it back to premiere. I already have the dvd exported to Premiere but when I export the frames I do not get to export them as mpegs, flm or anything else dealing with film.
 
I may misunderstand your question, but it seems like you want to edit each frame individually. Movie files are a sequence of frames, the rate of the sequence specified in fps (frames per second). This is true whether the format is AVI, MPEG, MOV, etc. If you are exporting frame by frame, by definition you will not have a movie file as it is a single frame (i.e., single picture). There is no sequence, there is no audio track.

Premiere can export those frames into picture files so you can edit them individually in Photoshop. At a standard rate of ~30 fps, you would have to edit 30 frames (or pictures) just to modify one second of your movie file. Sounds very tedious.

Have you considered some of the internal filters of Premiere to repair your footage? Without knowing what you are trying to do, it's a shot in the dark.
