Bridge vs Lightroom - Which do you use?

I just subscribed to Creative Cloud am am learning how to use both Bridge and Lightroom. I've been using Apple's Aperture program to organize images, but I want to see how Lightroom stacks up and perhaps switch.
I have so many things to figure out, it's going to take a while. But one question I'd like to as on this forum is whether you, as a web designer, use Bridge or Lightroom to organize your images.
I'm currently using Aperture to organize sort of a base library of images that haven't been processed for a website. If I select one of these images (from Aperture or Lightroom), open it in Photoshop and save it for the web - as Animal.jpg, for example - then I figured I'd use Bridge to organize Animal.jpg.
But someone on the Lightroom forum told me that would be confusing; I should use one program or the other.
So I just wondered which program you use. I haven't yet figured out exactly how they overlap and what the pros and cons of each program are.
Thanks.

I use Bridge for previewing quite a bit with Photoshop.
Use whatever works best for YOU.

I am using ERwin® Data Modeler r7.1 (7.1.1.1207). It supports most new features of Oracle 10g such as hash, list, composite hash, setting LOB storage properties etc.
We just upgraded from version 4 recently. In the old version, I had to manually modify the generated scripts.
ERWin r7 supports all Oracle 10g (Release 2) new features we need for our projects. It offers far more functionality and options than the old version. It supports all partition types in Oracle 10g: Range, Hash, List, Composite-Hash and Composite-LIST and offers more storage settings.
Another nice new feature of ERWin r7 is that it offers purge option in the DROP TABLE statement. In Oracle 10g, the recycle bin contains all the dropped database objects until you permanently drop them with the PURGE option. Otherwise, you will see many funny looking objects like this: 'BIN$0+ktoVChEmXgNAAADiUEHQ==$0'.
With the purge option, you don't need to purge the recycle bin after the forward engineering.

How are the Apps Store and iTunes store different? Which do you use for what?

Can you explain the difference between Apps Store and iTunes store? Is Apps a subset of iTunes store? To which store do you go for what?

Apps you buy from the Mac App store can be used on your computer. You use the same Apple ID as the iTunes Store, but that's the only connection.
Apps you buy from the iTunes App Store are written to run on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch). They won't run on your computer, only on your iDevice.

Share Geotagged Photos: Flickr, Picasa or Panoramio? Which do you use?

I've gotten started geotagging photos. I'm using HoudahGeo and pulling tracks from my Garmin etrex. Then importing into iPhoto. Really cool.
My photos are mostly from hiking. I'd like to start sharing some of these, but don't know which service is best. Flickr, Picasa, or Panoramio? I've started an account on all three to compare them, but I haven't installed any plug-ins yet.
I'm wondering which service makes it easiest for others to find my photos. Not just people I know, but someone who might want to hike the same trail, camp at the same site and check it out ahead of time. Picasa doesn't have a map, but I've noticed that photos show up in search almost right away. In Flickr, my photos haven't showed up after a day (it is a holiday weekend). I understand that with Panoramio, they are reviewed first, so that could take weeks.
So, which service do you use and why?

CHoice is up to you - I use Panoramio and google earth because I like the way they work and integrate and I use Google earth to plan trips and see where I went
You also might take a look at the ATP Photo FInder - http://photofinder.atpinc.com/ - it is a neat, small stand alone GPS receiver that will add the GeoCodeing to your photos without the computer - CostCo.com recently had them on sale for $80 with free shipping

Rental Car Company Rewards. Which do you use? Or do you use?

I would to get the community's opinion on this. I do not use rental cars too often but I do use them when I fly. I hate to waste rewards with anything so I have been looking into trying to pick one company and stick with them. However, I have found that most of the time, its a lot cheaper to book your cars with your flight than it is to do it on your own through a certain company. For example, I was going to fly out to Seattle for a few days for a little vacation. I looked up rental cars information on Hertz and it was going to be about 500 for the days which is crazy! Then I booked a flight to Nashville for a few days and ended up booking the car after my flight and for 5 days, my car rental there was only 125. Just curious what other travelers do for car rentals Do you use rewards through them? Do you book ahead? Do you book at airports? Thanks in advance!

Maps - which do you use?

Google Maps vs. Yahoo Maps vs. MapQuest vs. Microsoft Live
API's
Which do you prefer and why?
Dan

I built a "locator" application for the hobby I'm heavily
involved with
(flying model helicopters) that utilises map technology and
the decision
there was based on which maps looked the best for my own
location...
I went with Microsoft Maps (Virtual Earth) because the level
of detail was
better at the time of my choice.
It may still be - I can't be bothered checking right now :)
I found the online documentation to be very good - easy to
follow, copy
paste and tweak code, play for a while then launch the app
pretty quickly.
I agree with Patty on the directions thing though - it might
not be the best
set of directions you can get, but that really applies to all
direction
software IMO...
You can see my app in action here:
http://www.tenzeroten.com/locator/index.asp
Select a location from the list, click the button and wait
for the next page
to oad - this is my only gripe... the JS powering the map API
is obviously
quite large, so it can take a while to load in. I'm not sure
if there's a
workaround for that either. (Note: this "club locator" does
not contain all
available clubs - just those that have bothered to add their
details to the
system so far).
I learned what I needed to build that app from the live docs:

After Effects and Premiere Pro, Which do you use first?

Hi. I use premiere pro to edit my videos and now I am learning about after effects and removing blemishes with AE.
My question is, do I edit my audio, colors, etc. in premiere first then do after effects for blemishes or vice versa? I don't want to start and do it backwards. I hope it all works as planned. I am going to try the clone stamp tool, if anyone has any other suggestions please let me know. Thank you so much!!

In most cases the most efficient workflow is to edit in Premiere Pro, pick the shots where you need to add effects or compositing that you can't do in Premiere then use one of the following techniques:
For simple AE projects right click on the shot in Premiere Pro and select Replace with After Effects Composition
For more complicated effects and compositing shots copy the shot in Premiere Pro and paste it into AE or render just the shot to a suitable frame based production format and import that into AE
For very complicated shots pick the take and trim the shot in Premiere Pro leaving handles (a few extra frames on the head and tail) and render them to a 10bit or better production format for use in AE
When you have completed your work in AE if you have used step 1 then just save your work and go back to Premiere Pro. For the second and third option, render your AE comps to a suitable production format and import them to Premiere Pro where you will replace the original shots in the sequence.
Note: MP4, H.264 and other MPEG compressed formats are not suitable for production, only for delivery. Don't render your DI (digital intermediates) using these highly compressed formats.

Which package you use to manipulate an image?

i want to manipulate an image in many image formats including popular formats like TIFF, JPEG, PNG.and search libraries in internet.but no library i find can
meet the demands of me .can you give me some advice? thanks in advance

I use JAI from Sun. Powerful, sometimes difficult, but has an excellent mailing list with near instant response (usually) from the library authors.

Mail clients, which do you use?

Just curious what mail clients people use. I am always interested in improving my workflow.
Some of my friends are 100% gmail. That is all they use.
Others use gmail when they are out and about, but use a desktop mail app when they are at home (fetch via pop).
I tend to use a desktop client (claws), and crappy ol' squirrelmail (from my isp) when I dont have my laptop. I have considered going gmail, but I cant bring myself to do it. I have a gmail account, but I mostly use it for garbage...

I tried out numerous applications. But I always come back to Thunderbird. I don't have really special things I like to do with my mail-clients, so Thunderbird does everything I need.
It has GnuPG-Enigmail support, with automatic download of missing keys, a really good Spam filter.
And most of all I really like that it stores accounts, mails and even extensions in one folder.
With an initial "thunderbird -ProfileManager" I can use the same mail-folder from different Computers or Distros/BSs and have all my data there.
I really like KMail but the settings and mails are too cluttered, to really have it portable or distributed.
Downsides:
-It integrates badly with KDE and GNOME, has ugly Win95-ish interface, where it shows through that it's not really good GTK
-It loads and repaints slowly

Which SATA drivers do you use for nForce3 chipset?

Windows Generic or the ones that come with the nForce3 drivers?
When using the nForce drivers, my hard drive operates louder and the light appears to be flickering a lot more (indicating more hdd access) when compared to the Windows XP drivers.
Which do you use? What should I be using? I remember reading some threads that said nForce SATA drivers suck... but that was months ago.
Thanks for any info
(Please note that I am NOT, I repeat, NOT talking about RAID, just standard serial ATA)

lol, guess no one uses hard drive drivers

Can I move photos in bridge to lightroom?

can I move photos in bridge to lightroom?

Steve, you have a few misconceptions.
First, you do NOT want to be using both Bridge and Lightroom on your photos. One or the other, but not both. You are opening yourself up to confusion if the information in Bridge doesn't match the information in Lightroom, and secondly, its more work to use both. Use one or the other, not both.
ACR do you mean converting a picture to a Raw image from say a JPEG image?
ACR is the image editing part of Adobe Bridge and Photoshop. The goal is not really to convert RAW to JPG (although you can do that). The goal is to edit the RAW and maintain maximum quality.
So basically Bridge is a way to view your photos in one place and then be able to get them into PSCC in my case and LR.
If you use Lightroom, you don't need to use Bridge, and in fact I would say, you shouldn't use Bridge. You can import your photos into Lightroom, or open them in Photoshop, without ever using Bridge.
There are a gazillion and a half tutorials on-line about Lightroom, I suggest you view some to eliminate some of your misconceptions. For example, these are very good: Getting Started with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 | Adobe TV

How do you use homeshare?

I turned on homeshare and I put the ID of the account I wanted to share with, but I now I don't know where to find the songs.
Can anyone help me? I would be helpful if theres some kind of vitsual aid.

I put the ID of the account I wanted to share with
Both computers need to logged into Home Sharing with the same AppleID and they both need to be on the same network.
Doesn't natter which AppleID you use, just as long as both computers are using the same one.

External Hard Disc Docking Stations: Do you use?

Just wondering if any Premeire editors use external hard drive docking stations and if so, which do you use and how would you rate their performance? I assume these can only be used in editing if they are connected with an eSATA cable but are there any other specs that should be looked for? Do these docking stations perform just as good as installing the drive in the case? I saw one of these at Best Buy but wanted to check with others first to see if they're worth it.

Sata and E-Sata have the same performance. When you say Docking station, do you mean external e-sata drive kit? Link the item you are asking about please.

Does anyone knows which cable is used to connect an iphone to a radio or speakers? would appreciate your help..

I have an iphone 5 and i would like to connect it to a radio or speakers to play music but i dont know which cable is used and where can i get it.

Depends on the home radio. You can connect a 3.5mm jack to the iPhone and, if your radio has a 3.5mm input, connect that to your radio. If your radio only has RCA style connectors, you can buy an adapter like the one pictured.
Regardless of which method you use, make sure to select the correct input on your radio. You'll also need to turn the volume on your iPhone all the way up.
I hope that makes sense. If not, what's the model of your radio?

What Keyboard Did You Use For Bootcamp

I was wonder which keyboard you used to install bootcamp. Whenever I install bootcamp it says to press enter but none of my 3 keyboards work, one of which is a apple keyboard.(not the new slim)

If youre not gettign any codes, dmesg or xev, turn of the computer switch to the PS/2 port youre using USB to connect the keyboard, USB hid driver hasnt got the functionality to give those extra keys scancodes and the devs dont seem willing to do anything about it...
Follow the wiki hotkyes instructions and you cant go wrong, someone posted link to them earlier.
Not wanting to sound rude, but if you had even bothered to read the thread you would have seen that the keys are working fine with xbindkeys, it's the process of autostarting xbindkeys with openbox that doesn't work.
However, I've now started using the built in keybind function in openbox, though for some reason I can't execute mpc commands (ie: mpc stop), it just won't work. Instead I have to use Sonata (ie: sonata stop), could the reason be that mpc outputs info while Sonata does not when you use those commands?
EDIT: It wasn't, I added the --no-status switch but it still won't work with mpc.
Actually i read every post in this thread before posting, sorry if came of sounding mean (sv:elak) or something. Thought you just wanted to know what apps ppl were using to get multimedia keys to work (alot of ppl seem to be having problems with this), didnt realize that you wanted help. Maybe choose a better title if you dont want too confuse ppl like me. Again sorry:)
