Speaking of the Adobe Bridge and Adobe Raw converter. I recently had a chance to install PSCS2 and check out the RAW conversion. I have been using Capture One LE for some time now and all I can say is "Adobe Raw sucks, C1 rocks." Maybe I'm missing something, haven't explored every possibility yet, but can anyone who has used both please tell me if I'm wrong, or why they think Adobe Raw is good? I did find that Adobe Raw has some nice features - if you like to work on one raw file at a time. But for serious work on a whole bunch of raw files, it is just a pain in the arse. Capture One on the other hand is very easy to use, has lots of features too, and just makes it much faster to make preview files and process the keepers. One more thing - is there any possible use for the 'Bridge'? I mean it's more or less a useless go between, why bother? What is the use of the Bridge, I don't get it. -- Jim Davis, Nature Photography: http://naturephoto.easternbeaver.com/
