Harald:
I have noticed that after using any of the Plugins (Color Washer, Light Machine and Focal Blade) that my file sizes will jump from around 3Mb up to over 10Mb sometimes. I am wondering what is causing this change in fille size, since I do not notice any extra layers added to the images.

Why increased file sizes?

What file format do you use for saving the images? JPEG?
If that is the case, I am not too surprised. If you sharpen oder increase the brightness of an image and save it as JPG, the file size increases. If you blur or darken an image its JPG file size decreased. If you enhance an image, its JPEG file size always increases.
But a jump from 3 to 10 MB sounds a bit much. I would rather expect that a 3 MB JPEG file would increase to 4 or 5 MB.
