I've got a couple items on order about the Bridge and Camera Raw. I'll see if there are some hidden secrets in the material to turn me 100% away from Lightroom. By the way have you figured out the Secret Pro Button on your Epson 2200 yet? Maybe Vinny knows where it is :) mike meyer Well, not quite the firestorm as scotts last post but it’s still a very good point. I’ve got a couple items on order about the Bridge and Camera Raw.

I've stopped using LR to open files in photoshop for the reasons you mentioned. Basically, I use lightroom initially to sort, rate and develop as far as LR will go. Then I close down LR, open Bridge and use Bridge to open and edit the files in photoshop. I don't save any files as PSD unless it is a collage or something that I can't redo in 3 minutes or less because I don't like the file sizes.

Sometimes you just want to open an image or have a quick preview, and that's faster in Bridge. And you can open more than one image going to the Camera Raw option from Bridge and selecting all then making corrections. That was supposed to be the big new feature in Lightroom. I think Lightroom is really cool for a few things but one frustrating option is how you can have three view of the same image open in your window at the same time. Preview, Filmstrip and Navigator view. Two is plenty. Unfortunately I think Adobe made an entire new program so they could get an additional $300. from everyone who owns Photoshop. They could have easily added the few UNIQUE features of Lightroom to the Bridge. But still I had to have a copy to try it for myself. I think if you are a working pro who needs to catalogue thousands of images then Lightroom is the way to go. If you don't shoot a lot everyday then stick with Photoshop and the Bridge, you're gonna need that anyway when you want to add type to your image. mike meyer We talked about this the other day.

I've been frustrated with the PSD only option also. I'm just an enthusiast, so I rarely keep the PSDs ever to begin with. LR is certainly a powerhouse and it does some great stuff, but even after getting through a "shoot" in record time, I'm still not completely, completely convinced. I think. I'm not sure. I'd like to see it send a copy of the effected RAW file to Photoshop, or the effected RAW itself. Alright then Jeff, now you have to give us a run down of your workflow in two ways: LR and Bridge.
