Basic: Does Lightroom replace Bridge?

I am giving up my training wheels and moving from Elements to CS2. I have tried Lightroom and find it impressive. Does or can Lightroom replace Bridge, or do I have to learn Bridge also when learning CS2? Thanks,

Bridge is really designed for people who use much more of the Creative Suite than just PhotoShop. And CS is designed (IMHO) for graphics designers and such, not for photographers.
LR is designed for photographers. Adobe doesn't make a pixel-editor that's designed for photographers. Elements 3 is what I use because it's the closest. But I'd love to eventually see a dedicated pixel editor, with all non-destructive commands, eventually integrated into LR as a module. This would include the fundamentals of image editing post RAW conversion (layers, masks, selection tools, brushes, etc.).
No I don't expect this to be in version 1.x of LR. ;-)

Basic: Does or can Lightroom replace Bridge

I have been using Lightroom and am switching from Elements 5 to CS2. Can Lightroom replace Bridge?
Thanks in advance

if you're a photographer, LR basically is the new Bridge. Bridge and the associated work flow sucked, so they gave us a new application that just cuts out one of the steps. That's about it...

Does Lightroom make Bridge obsolete?

I'm new to Lightroom, and really like the simplicity of Bridge. I find Lightroom very confusing and with duplicate features of Photoshop. I particularly find the "catalog" feature very confusing. Bridge is very intuitive and the Explorer metaphor works like one would expect. I can manage my images perfectly, with no confusion. I like the combination of Bridge, ACR, and Photoshop CS5. Why would I need Lightroom? PS: I don't need "tethering" feature of LR. One more question: I wonder if in the future Adobe will get rid of Bridge (because it's free) and make people buy LR. ???

I like the simplicity of Bridge, and how everything I do with files (managing folders, deleting/moving files, etc) works exactly like in Windows Explorer. However, once I understand LR, and the way I can catalog images and search images, I may find that I use both--Bridge for truly managing the images and folders, and LR for cataloging images for rapid search. I plan on giving LR the benefit of the doubt and working with it before categorically rejecting it.

LR might be confusing at first, particularly if one doesn't that LR is not a browser-type program but a data base program. It's data base being the catalog.LR is far superior than Bridge for image management. You willbe able to apreciate this only after you have dived deep into LR. But, Bridge still remains useful just because it's a browser based program. It will display everything that is on the hard drive - as far as image files are concerned, whereas LR displays only what has been imported. Also, Bridge displays image files that are not supported in LR. But after 5 years of working with LR I have to say, it's a fantastic program (despite some flaws) and I could not do the work I'm doing without LR. WW

Lightroom and Bridge

Ok, we all know there is great integration between Lightroom and Photoshop, as there should be. What about Bridge?
Or is Bridge being phased out even though it of course is integrated with almost all Adobe products?

Remember that Bridge is for folder browsing, like a glorified Finder or Explorer, and not for cataloguing. Lightroom is a catalogue and can record the location of pictures whether or not they are on drives connected to the computer. Bridge searches go through the file system, so chugging through all attached drives to find pictures, while LR searches its database. Those are big differences.
"Lightroom is better for images without a doubt. So in the eyes of someone who does graphic work, will Lightroom replace Bridge?"
No for graphic work, and that's Ian's point about the limited range of file types that LR handles. But in the eyes of someone who only does photographic work, Lightroom is likely to substantially replace Bridge, and in many cases totally. Quite often, continuing to use Bridge is because some people don't/can't get their head around working with a catalogue-based workflow, and/or they have a preference for working with folders. I might use Bridge to dig into metadata, but not for much else (I use iView/ExMedia catalogues for managing other file types).

Does lightroom update photos in bridge

does lightroom update photos that are shown in bridge?

Hi,
as i said, this photo is displayed in PA20, after ulpoading from Frontend via Portal Appl, so everything till now is in order. this a WDA issue, because the class CL_HRTMC_BASIC_UTILITIES use that method that is checking if the photo is buffred or not, if the photo is buffred, it will get the last URL from the cluster table (INDX), if not, after geting it using ArchivL FM, will get a new URL, in tis case it will be buffred in the cluster table with the new URL and with the timstamp (Timestamp is a future time (one Houre or one day, it depends) this is from SAP). and in the next time , if the user uploded a photo and after starting newly the Appl and clicking on the same person number, automaticlly this methode will be generated, and deliver a specialy Timstamp which will be copmpared with the timestamp buffred with the person number and the URL of the photo. if its less , the new photo will be displayed, if not the old photo will be displayed.
this is WDA issue

Does Lightroom CC now replace Lightroom 5 in the package?

I just received an update to my Creative Cloud package in which a Lightroom CC was offered for download. Does this replace the Lightroom 5 that is currently in my package?

Hi Guido, thanks for getting in touch. When I fire up Lightroom under W7 and check Preferences and Lightroom Mobile I see my Adobe ID with the "Sign Out" button next to it. If I check out the "More Account Info Online" I get taken to my account page. If I hit the "Adobe" option from the account screen and the "Lr" option from there I get to see the same 12 images that have appeared on my iPad, but there are actually 34 images in that collection, presumably the remainder being those 'pending assets' you mention. I am not presented with the sync check boxes I would expect to see in the left hand column of the Collections area.
So I've now signed out of Lr Mobile from W7 desktop, restarted Lr and the logged back in to Lr Mobile. Lr Desktop now seems to be picking up my iPad Camera Roll, which is something I hadn't asked it to do, although it seems to have stopped at 45 of 46. Over on "Lightroom.adobe.com" the number of images in the Camera Roll file is increasing but not caught up with the number on the PC yet. There are now two PAGB Collection files, one with the same 12 images, the other is empty. Over on the iPad I'm also seeing two PAGB Collection files as well, same content as on "Lightroom.adobe.com".

Dave

Why Does the Photograph's Preview Change in Lightroom and Bridge? | The Complete Picture with Julieanne Kost | Adobe TV

In this video tutorial Julieanne explains one of the great mysteries of Lightroom and Bridge – why Lightroom (or Bridge) displays a photograph one way and then changes the way it looks a moment later. It will all become clear with just a little information about how digital camera files are captured and displayed by different applications.
http://adobe.ly/LiGnOc

This tutorial was outstanding in explaining why Bridge and LR may have different renditions of the same photograph as well as why it changes after a few seconds. This camera calibration video is one of the best that I have seen.

Where does Lightroom display color space?

Where does Lightroom display color space assigned to an image? It should be in the metadata panel. In Bridge it displays Color Mode: RGB/B&W and Color Space: sRGB/Gray Gamma 2.2. Or does Lightroom convert everything to Adobe RGB or ProPhoto RGB?

LR's internal working space is a variation of the ProPhoto RGB space, ProPhoto RGB's gamut but with a linear tone curve instead of the standard gamma 1.8 curve. This is because it is primarily a Raw editor and Raw sensor data is linear and because the ProPhoto gamut will more or less include all the colors most digital cameras can capture (depending on the filters in front of the lens, some cameras may capture ultra-red that is outside ProPhoto RGB). Retaining the linearity of the data makes editing calculations easier, faster, more flexible and more accurate since data has not been lost to the quantization errors involved in gamma correction. So for a Raw file the workflow is the assignation of the camera profile and conversion from that to linear ProPhoto RGB. However, the display data from the Develop module (the data sent to your monitor) undergoes a further conversion that involves the application of the sRGB tone curve, which is sort of gamma 2.2 but not exactly. This is because linear image data looks terrible - very dark and flat. Thus, the display is in a hybrid space called Melissa RGB, ProPhoto primaries and sRGB tonal response curve. At the time of export or printing a conversion is done from linear ProPhoto RGB to the output space designated by the user, which can be any RGB space - ProPhoto RGB, Adobe RGB, sRGB or any other one, provided you have an ICC profile for it in your OS's Color folder..
Previews used by the Library module are jpgs in the Adobe RGB space.

Ipad and Lightroom or Bridge

Dear fellows,
I did a decent search but I can not find an answer for my problem.
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to install or Lightroom or Bridge on an iPad I bought Yesterday?
I'm a photographer doing concertphotography and I want to judge the first pictures I take at the beginning of the repetition.
Kind regards for your help,
L.

For the iPad you can only install programs (called app) that are obtained from Apple's App Store. If there is not an Aperture or Bridge app in the store you are out of luck

Does Lightroom support camera tethering?

I looked through the forum and could not find this.
Does Lightroom allow digital camera capture by tethering the camera to a computer like Camera Control Pro for Nikon's and Kodaks Camera Manager?
If it does, this most likely will be our new and great workflow. Currently when using both Nikons and Kodaks we have to use four (or more) separate software programs to capture the image, adjust the image (if necessary) crop & retouch the image, and upload it to our laboratory.
Looking for the vida loca.

If it matters, we too would like to see tethering improved, especially for Nikons.
Nikon has stopped supporting their Capture (V 4.x) software. Capture wasn't the greatest package but it served a purpose as the front line, 'real time' camera to screen program. Capture does not support the newest NEFs found in the D80, (and others?)! The replacement, Capture NX, does not support tethered shooting or browsing for that matter. NX has some interesting ideas but no tethering, no browser, it is useless to us? Nikon's new Camera Control Pro downloads the pics from the camera to the computer but leaves them there... no further processing.
We are forced to find another solution. There are not too many to choose from besides LR. Capture Pro is pretty dear, Bibble's capture, while slick, directly from camera to browser, it is not too stable or reliable! Sorry guys but we can not be rebooting / making excuses while the customer is waiting. I haven't found anything else for a Nikon.
Our business really needs good tethering as we usually shoot with the customer in the studio expecting to take home some prints. Besides 'real time' viewing, which is a real plus with the customers, tethering also eliminates the steps, and time needed to stop shooting and download images to the computer. It also makes for a real smooth two person operation.
So, I (we), hope the LR crew is working on a direct import for all raw formats. The LR tethering could use a speed boost. Just eliminating the third party capture software and extra file move would be a big help.

Does lightroom 3 have black slider?

Does lightroom 3 have a black slider?

Yes:
Why do you ask?
I mean, it's behavior, along with many others (e.g. exposure, clarity, ..), changed, starting with Lightroom 4 (process version 2012), but all Lightroom versions since 1 have a blacks slider in basic section.
Or am I missing the thrust of the question?

Does apple replace you ipad for a broken screen

they do but not for free. It's called an out of warranty replacement. The cost varies according to the model, and they will basically give you a replacement unit (so back up first).

Does Lightroom work with Photoshop Elements

Does Lightroom work with Photoshop Elements?

When setting up the editor in the prefs choose images of 8 bits not 16 bits, either PSD or tiff. Elements works best with 8 bit images. For example you can't use layers with 16 bit images.
Once you have set up the LR prefs you are ready to make the round trip:
1) Ctrl+E in the Library to export selected image with develop settings or right-click and choose Open In Photoshop Elements Editor
2) Make your adjustments in Photoshop Elements; then Ctrl+S to replace (overwrite) Lightroom export copy
3) Ctrl+W to close in Photoshop Elements and update Lightroom thumbnail.
On Mac OSX Cmd+E; Cmd+S; Cmd+W
The important point is to overwrite the LR export copy by using File >> Save (Ctlr+S) because a tiff or PSD file has been automatically rendered by LR based upon your preference setting for External Editing. If you use “Save As” you create a new document which LR knows nothing about. It will only show in the LR Library if you save.

My one year warranty expired recently, a month ago my charger was replaced under warranty and it has only lasted a month and has broken again, does the replacement charger come with a new warranty or will i have to buy a new one?

Bought the phone on contract last January (late in january), had my charger replaced just after christmas and now it has stopped working again, its been about a month and a half and the replacement charger is broken, does the replacement charger come with a new warranty or will I have to buy a new charger? And if so, is there a charger that doesn't break easily (my problem is the the wire at the phone end of the cable seems to bunch and twist etc.)
thanks.

a warranty replacement if the donor is out of warranty has a new 90 days warranty from exchange date

My 5th ten iPod is basically doing nothing but trying over and over again to start up. I've tried to restore it, but when the logo apple appears, it simply shut down.

my 5th ten iPod is basically doing nothing but trying over and over again to start up. I've tried to restore it, but when the logo apple appears, it simply shut down. Then I've connected it to my macbook pro, and I've seen the script "Please Wait - Very Low Battery", but, after some time, the iPod tries to start up again, and nothing happens. It's a kind of noise, I'm thinking about the hard disk, (it's a 80Gb version), and I'm listening to it; every 30 seconds seems to try to open and then shut down again. I can't see the iPod in iTunes too. Don't know what to do. Can someone help me? Thanks a lot, it's my first forum

It sounds like the battery could be going bad as well as the iPod's Hard drive. You'll want to have the iPod serviced either by Apple or a third party repair company. Here is Apple's pricing:

Google for "iPod repair" and you should get a ton of results to work with.
