Time wise opening Photoshop 7.0 and browser is much faster than Photoshop C3 and Bridge. I assume Bridge has a lot of options to load which makes it slower. (Also I think part of the reason Adobe broke them up was so it can say Photoshop opened faster since Bridge was then a separate program.and Adobe needed space to update the programs by adding more features). I don't do assignments any more and still shoot slides mostly. I do "art" type photos that I sell and open up a whole photodrive of pictures (originally each photodrive was a 30 gig hardrive) each time I open Photoshop. I basically do pictures that stand on their own though a lot of jurors look for bodies of work (for various reasons) so I beginning to change my portfolio presentations. You have a different work flow altogether.

are large, the full size display takes a while, especially if you're
