stephan_matthies Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 <p>Hi everybody,<br> I have been using Lightroom for a long time for archiving, categorising, rating and adjusting pictures. I also had an ooooold Photoshop version that I rarely used. Now, I have bought Photoshop CS5 and I was going to keep using lightroom for the above mentioned workflow and using CS5 only for more advanced work. My question: Am I missing out on possibly important features if I do not use Camera Raw for importing and Bridge for archiving etc. Any advice? Thanks in advance.<br> Stephan</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, brv</p> <p>And by the way, if you don't use ACR to handle your files, your ass will probably drop off.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimstrutz Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 <p>As I understand it, CS5 uses the same raw converter engine and very nearly the same user interface as Lightroom. I don't think there is any advantage to not continuing to use LR. Also LR is better than Bridge. No practical advantage there.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimstrutz Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 <p>BTW, LR 4 will be out soon. The beta is available now. It has a different user interface. It seems more logical and simpler to me. It'll bring a nice, subtle change I think.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
