![]() ![]() Step 2) Bridge Camera Raw Preferences: If you intend to make edits in both LR and ACR make sure 'Save image settings in' is set to Sidecar ".xmp" files. ![]() Step 1) Lightroom Catalog Settings: Check the option 'Include Develop settings inside JPEG, TIFF, PNG, and PSD files.' You also need to manually 'Save Metadata to File' (CTRL + S) after editing an image file, or check 'Automatically write changes into XMP.' Adobe could easily change that and add XMP support for them inside Bridge.but I guess no one has asked for it. The LR Develop settings are also applied to PSD and PNG files, but they won't be visible inside Bridge. ![]() You can work in both LR and Bridge/ACR/PS and see your edits to Raw, DNG, JPEG, and TIFF files with the proper settings in both applications. ![]() When someone refers to image files having been "Photshoped" they indicate that it is not reality it has been altered and or manipulated. Lightroom is certainly not akin to Photoshop by design or function. (They do not call Adobe Illustrator, "Adobe Photoshop Illustrator") Its a pity that Adobe choose the name of the application as "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom" as apposed to "Adobe Lightroom". While the users that are more into simply manage, display, share and enhance their photo files without much need to manipulate, remove, insert, alter the image would be better served using the Lightroom model. Adobe photoshop bridge jpeg presets pro#The Creative Designers that use the multitude of design and editing features available in Photoshop would be pro toward the Photoshop / Bridge / Adobe Camera Raw model since it facilitates the interaction with the multiple of Adobe applications like Illustrator, Indesign etc. To wit it was left to the users to make their choice adopt Lightroom or continue to use the Bridge / Adobe Camera Raw model. Most of the core Photoshop users were not convinced that the Lightroom alternative suited their needs and Adobe decided to maintain both applications. The simple answer is that Lightroom was designed and introduced as an alternative workflow to Bridge and Adobe Camera Raw which operates as a Plugin for Photoshop. I also love the workflow of Lightroom, Bridge, and Photoshop and am a huge fan I just thought this enhancement would be beneficial. Of course if Adobe did make the change you could just choose not to use it. And the first response said this request has been made to Adobe before and they have decided not to do it so I guess I will just live with the workaround. I really got my workaround from SaturnV by dragging the image from Bridge to Lightroom. Just like dng files jpeg file adjustments are written to the file so they would also be visible to Bridge. If you open a raw image with Adobe Camera Raw from within Bridge make changes and click done camera raw creates an xmp files and it is no different than opening Lightroom from within Bridge. If the adjustments are automatically saved to an xmp file then Bridge reads the xmp files and displays the correct image. If you open a proprietary camera raw file and DO NOT automatically save the adjustments to an xmp file then yes the adjustments would not be visible in Bridge or any other application. I made an adjustment in Lightroom and as soon as I refreshed Bridge the adjustments were visible. With the dng file the adjustments are written to the file so they would be seen and carried over to Bridge and any other application. Both proprietary camera raw and dng files. Jim, you do bring up a good point so I decided to do some experimenting to see how Lightroom and Bridge would handle the issue you raise. I think this would be a very useful tool and I would not think it would be that difficult to integrate. However I prefer to keep Lightroom clean (about 1 -2 years worth of images) and I also have many old images that were scanned and never came through Lightroom. It has been suggested to just leave all my images in Lightroom and then search for them there. Yes I know you can open them in Photoshop using Camera Raw but for most of my images I prefer to use Lightroom when I don't have to make any "creative" edit with Photoshop. Why not just have an open or import into Lightroom menu. However, you now have to open Lightroom and import the images. If your hard drive has many raw images (or JPEG) you can nicely browse in Bridge and find the images you want. However, Lightroom is not so good at browsing images that are on a hard drive or network drive. Lightroom is fantastic and I use it extensively in my workflow to import directly from my camera memory card, rate images, tweak if necessary, and export to jpeg (my images are raw). I think there would be great benefit to integrating Bridge and Lightroom. ![]()
