so the question really is.... is there anything major that lightroom can offer that photoshop can't? i feel like it's just simplified.
I am not a lightroom fan personally only because of the colorspace it works in. Otherwise it's an amazing tool for developing and cataloging. I can do the exact same developing and cataloging in Bridge/ACR but I can work in sRGB if I want to. I can only work in ProPhoto in LR.
What's wrong with working with Prophoto in LR? You can export in any colorspace you want. If you're working in ProPhoto RGB in Lightroom and exporting as sRGB, what's the difference?
I find myself forever blowing a color channel when converting. At least one... sometimes two, but usually the reds. With the extra wide range of colors in ProPhoto I find my conversions jacked every. damn. time. Then I think I have it figured out... and screw it up again.
I am good and fast in bridge and ACR, it works for me. If there is a way to screw something up-I'll do it.
CS5's Bridge can host Camera Raw. Camera Raw and Lightroom's Develope module use the same edit rendering engine - ACR. CS5 can also host Camera Raw, but not at the same time Bridge is hosting Camera Raw.If I had to choose one over the other, (I have both), I'd choose Lightroom. I use it 100% of the time in my workflow. For batch processing images, I don't think it has an equal.
Has anyone mad ea switch from bridge to lightroom? I've just learned bridge CS5 where I do my initial looks, deletes, tagging, rating, keywords and then I usually open right in ACR and finally do any necessary final edits in PS5. I'm positive my process could be more efficient and faster, and was wondering if this is what lightroom helps with?
