| In Lightroom you resize when you export.
File>Export and in that dialog box you can set all your export parameters: size, file type, where to send the file and you can even run PS actions via droplets on it after it's been exported.
It is one of the slickest things about the very, very many slick things in Lightroom.
Additionally, you can crop to a specific aspect ratio or size which is a really great feature, too. This is found in the develop module using the shortcut R to activate the crop tool.
Bear in mind, once you do that (let's say you want to crop to 4x6) upon exporting set your export dimensions to long side 6, short side 4 and you'll be set. Be aware of your ppi when exporting.
Lea Lightroom right now has a free public beta for the new version 3.0. Bridge is more or less a browser that comes with Photoshop and though useful, not nearly as capable as either Lightroom or Aperture.
The beta is a public that does not require a purchased version of lightroom in order to work. I downloaded it and some things it does very well. Some of what I like also might be in more recent versions of photoshop too. One thing I didn't see is a way to resize an image in Lightroom. Anyone know if that can be done???

I see Apple is releasing Aperture 3. Does anyone use this software or has Lightroom or Bridge or some other program taken over? I hear little about Aperture it seems.
