What can Lightroom do for me that Photoshop and Bridge can't?

I've been using Creative Suite Design Pro since CS2 (now on CS4).  Lately I've been getting more into photography and have started hearing and reading about Lightroom.  Does Lightroom have features that Photoshop Extended and Bridge in CS don't?  Can it do things for me that I can't already do in CS?  Bottom line - what makes it worth the purchase price?             Thanks, Mary

If you are comparing Lightroom to Photoshop CS specifically, the biggest difference you are going to see is the Lightroom capabilities compared to what Camera Raw in Photoshop CS will do.  Lightroom has all the features of the latest Camera Raw.  As far as Photoshop itself is concerned, I haven't used CS4, but the big feature that I saw an improved in CS3 was the Photoemerge feature.  It works so much better, and I understand it is even better in CS4.  I'm sure there are many other improvements in the latest version of Photoshop, but I have decided to wait for the next version before I upgrade.

    What is the pathname for mail that will allow me to get to mail from a terminal window?

    Your best bet would be to take the drive to the oldest/compatible with that drive Windows PC and grab the files off, right click and format it exFAT (XP users can download exFAT from Microsoft) and then put the files back on.
    Mac's can read and write all Windows files formats except write to NTFS (and in some cases not read) so if you can change the format of the drive to exFAT (all data has to be remove first) then you will have a drive that doesn't require paid third party NTFS software (a license fee goes to Microsoft) for updates.
    Also it's one less hassle to deal with too.

  • Can I move cache to external hard drive to save disk space for photoshop and bridge?

    Can I move cache to external hard drive to save disk space for photoshop and bridge?

    So could I take everything off my external hard drive, save it to my Mac, then re-format it for my Mac and move everything back to the external hard drive?
    Yes. Keep in mind that you need to back up all data, including the data on an external drive. So if you're going to use the external drive to store original data, as opposed to backups, then you really need another one to back up the first one. You also need to back up the data on your internal drive, of course. This isn't optional. You must do it, or you'll lose everything sooner or later. All disk drives fail eventually, often with no warning.
    If I do that how do I format the external hard drive for my Mac?
    Launch the Disk Utility application and search the built-in help for "erase."
    Would it be easier to just buy a external hard drive that is for a Mac?
    All external hard drives work with Macs. Some might come pre-formatted for use with Macs, but it only takes a few minutes to do that yourself.

  • What is the procedure for verifying that my photos, after syncing up my iPad and my iMac, actually are in iTunes?

    What is the procedure for verifying that my photos, after syncing up my iPad and my iMac, actually are in iTunes?

    iTunes manages your photos between the iPad and iPhoto on the iMac. If you have things set up correctly, then the photos will go to iPhoto for safe keeping and later use.

  • Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop and Bridge does not recognize the raw files from my Canon Mark III 5D Camera.

    Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop and Bridge does not recognize the raw files from my new Canon Mark III 5D Camera.  How can I get my files open to view and edit?  I am using LR3, Photoshop CS3 and Bridge CS3.  Do I need to upgrade these programs or is there another way to get these programs to recognize my files?
    When I try opening the raw images in Lightroom, the thumbnails say "Preview unavailable for this file"  ... when I click "import" an error message pops up that says "The files are from a camera which is not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom."
    When I try opening the raw images in Photoshop, an error message pops up saying "could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file."
    When I try opening the raw images in Bridge, it just shows an icon with the file name and CR2.
    Please help!!!

    Unless I missed an announcement, today, LR6 isn't available, yet, right?  Only Adobe employees and beta testers would know what LR6 does differently at this point and they're all sworn to secrecy.
    LR5 is available as a standalone version.
    PS-CS6 is available as a serial-number-licensed version.
    PS-CC + LR5 are also available as a Photography Plan subscription for $10/month with a minimum OS versions of OSX 10.7 (and probably 10.8, soon) and Windows 7.
    Bridge is part of PS, not a separate program.
    LR5 standalone and LR+PS-CC plan are both available on this page:  http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/software.html
    PS-CS6 can be found on this page:  Creative Suite 6 which can be found by searching www.adobe.com for Photoshop CS6 and clicking the Buy link in the on-the-fly search results.
    As with any new Adobe software, it might be wise to run it in trial mode for a few days/weeks to see if it works well with your computer, before purchasing and finding out you might need a new computer, first.

  • Can't get Camera Raw widow to open between Photoshop and Bridge.

    Okay, so I can't get the Camera Raw editing window to open between Photoshop and Bridge on my new computer. I used Migration Assist and synced up all files from my old computer, and the Camera Raw setting still works fine on my old Laptop. And even images that I edited/adjusted in Camera raw, they automatically pop up in Camera Raw on my new computer, but images that have not been openned in Camera Raw before, don't automaticlly open in Camera Raw editing window?
    How do I fix this so that all images open through Camera Raw window before in Photoshop??

    What kind of file format, raw or JPEG? If JPEG then you'll need to set your Camera Raw Preferences correctly to have JPEGs open in Camera Raw.

  • Had to pick a recover point to a week ago - can't find PhotoShop and Bridge but CC says they are downloaded.

    I have had mega computer issues today - had to recover back to a week ago and in the process lost my PhotoShop and Bridge - According to the website they are downloaded and on my computer...does anyone know how to uninstall if they don't show up, so I can reinstall them? They don't show up anywhere - it has been a very long frustrating day.
    I am using Windows 7 and before I had to recover everything, about my adobe products, was working great.  I just installed the trial versions on the 4th of October.  Thanks for your help!

    I think I finally found the place to uninstall both of them, going to try that and then reinstall.  If that helps I will come in here and delete this post.
    Actually since it took me a couple of hours to figure it out.  One of the reasons it took me so long is that I only found one other discussion question even remotely touched on this subject.  The problem was, the question was asked 2 years ago, and the instructions weren't in the same place.  I ended up going to the Creative Cloud screen, hovered over the right side of the screen and a little gear (settings) showed up and the only option available when I did that was "Uninstall".  I clicked on that and when it was gone, I was again given the option of downloading them again.  At least my day is ending with less stress than it started.

    Okay, you mean I can also assign individual team members to a support team by adding record in infotype 5131; and
    The data for a support group is stored in Infotype 5151 and 5152 which will be maintenance by administrator.
    How to interpret information using Infotype 5151 and 5152?
    Exp,
    1. The support group is assign for which requisition,talent group, application group, application, or agency
    2. List of member of each support group.
    As the only common field which can link both table is ROLE field. Which i think it is not unique enough to get information for above 2 items.
    Any comments will be greatly appreciated!

    What is the shortcut for eject in apple and pc keyboard?

    Easiest way with an Apple is to drag the item to be ejected to the trash, which then turns into the eject symbol.  Some Apple keyboards also have av eject key, the triangle on top of a horizontal bar.  You can also eject a DVD/CD by restarting and holding the mouse in the click position.
