Importing Adobe Bridge/ACR presets to Adobe Lightroom

[domen.colja]

I've never quite accepted the way Adobe Lightroom wants me to discard "the old

Bridge/PS" workflow we've grown to love and appreciate. And despite rationality

keeps telling me to switch to Lightroom as a complete start-to-end easy

process-driven (implied), my biggest disappointment (and barrier, mental and

practical) is to find that there's no RAW preset import module to convert .xmp

RAW data from Bridge/ACR to Lightroom.

 

Being stuck with a load of Bridge RAW presets and not being able to use them in

Lightroom is a de facto anti-familiarization wound that hasn't been reckoned

with and (by the digested release of CS3, it's new Bridge, ACR 4.1 and so on...)

does NOT seem to be on the verge of being taken care of.

 

Found a workaround tutorial to solve the problem, import presets from Bridge/ACR

to Lightroom, but it's bulky and slow, very annoying for people that want to

give Lightroom a chance, but don't have the patience and "Adobe" devotion to

risk their time. A failure to love Lightroom would mean throwing it grade A

away. Is there an other way, am I missing something, will Adobe cope with this?

I cant find a better way to do this but thanks for the link, I have been struggling with this for some time :-)
