![]() I use LR when I've gone of vacation and have taken hundreds and hundreds of photos and I want to keep them and refer back to them etc. I use both Lightroom AND Bridge but I use them for different purposes. Sticking my neck in here from a bunch of great answers, but I do want to point out one other dynamic. This is what my screen might look like: with multiple Bridge window open and LR in the background. There so much functionality in Bridge that I wish LR could do. So, I have a bunch of window open and I drag and drop everything. I have so many, I don't want collections and I can't look at the my pictures and graphics at the same time in LR, so I do this in Bridge. The scrapbook graphics are a little different. I can save them all to a new folder on my hard drive or use LR to just drag and drop them into PS as needed. I make all of my adjustments in LR, they are ready to be used. I start in LR, making a collection of the photos I want to use. I can use Lightroom to view everything, but honestly, compared to Bridge, LR sucks at this. I have all of my images in Lightroom, photos and scrapbooking supplies. Let's say I want to make a digital scrapbook. I save out copies of images I need for other things and toss the copies when done. I finally learned how to use Lightroom the "right way". If anything bad happens to my LR catalogue, I would be sad, but it's OK, not devastating. I am in control of where everything is and how it's organized. Importing and organizing and storage - belong to Lightroom. If anyone uses both together, kindly let me know how you guys organize your pictures so that you can see them in both. Does it mean I have to copy/paste my pictures in another file structure, though it's already existing in the LR catalog ? If yes, I would have a problem with the storage.My LR catalog only has date folders (2016, then 2016mmdd for each different day), so it's not that detailed compared to what most people use as a folder structure in Bridge. My only concern now is how to organize my photos in Bridge? I saw that people usually have a very detailed and nice file structure, consisting of different folders with proper names (type of photo, country name, etc.) so that they can find their pictures very easily. Now I'm keen on using Bridge too, especially because I'm learning Photoshop and I heard it's a good app to organize the files and then from that app, open them in Photoshop. I have been using Lightroom for quite a while and all my pictures are cataloged within Lightroom. ![]()
