Lens Corrections in Bridge. Lens Distortion not in Bridge.

Question

I can open Bridge without opening Photoshop;
also, I can edit CR in Bridge without opening
Photoshop CS4.
Cmd+R puts images into Raw editing.
There is a Lens Corrections feature in
Bridge which has no access to a Lens
Distortion control in Bridge.
Opening up several hundred CR's in Photoshop
halts my productivity immediately.
Lens Distortion should be one of the very first
accessible tools in Bridge CR. If it is available
in Bridge, where is it?
Next question: Is Lens Distortion available in CS5 Bridge?
Befuddled.

Answer 1

Can you clearify a point for me?  I always assumed that there was one ACR and
it could be acceessed from Bridge or from Photoshop. 
Hi Curt
It is correct that there can only be one version of ACR, however both Bridge
and PS can use them together at the same time. Don't know how but it works
as long as I can remember and I have no reason to assume it does not so in
Windows.
Using the command open in Bridge or double click on thumbs opens the files
in ACR through Photoshop. Open in Camera Raw or cmd + R opens the files in
ACR using Bridge.
Open files using choose with lets you choose all the applications that are
capable of opening the file. (Raw files have limited options of course -due
to the need for a Raw converter- but for instance a jpg file has a lot of
options depending on how many applications you have installed on your
machine)
In the Bridge prefs you can also check the option to open Raw files in ACR
Bridge with double click on a file (by default turned off).
Another option is to use right click mouse menu on selected files and then
you can also choose from the above ways to open files.
There is a but in this, Although you can use them both together they can't
use the same function in both apps to do it in PS at the same time, you have
to wait for one task to be finished.
Hence the small difference in both ACR windows, in PS the 'Open' button
bottom right is active. Using ACR in Bridge the 'Done' button is active.
But if you have a big session and start using ACR in PS and make your
settings in filmstrip mode on multiple files you then can open them in PS.
This can take some time so meanwhile you can switch to Bridge and start work
on a new batch applying settings in ACR Bridge. After you have finished this
session hit done and this applies the new ACR settings to the files in
Bridge, the thumbs will be update.
Meanwhile you can switch to PS and finishing the job inhere. Then again go
to Bridge and open the latest corrected files directly in PS using the shift
key to bypass the ACR window (you already had the settings applied,
remember). If you wish you can then again choose a new job in ACR Bridge
while PS opens the files, and so on and so on.
Depending on your machine specs this can be done without delay (fast machine
with enough RAM). You can also choose to save files which will provide you
with a waiting list that functions in the background. Also now you can use
the other app to work in.
Nice, isn't it??
Only downside is that you won't have an excuse for a coffee break, but as
they say, You can't have them all...
