I know the obvious question, but honestly, why doesn't Adobe package Lightroom in with their master suite collection of the other adobe products? I know its a stand alone software that does the similar thing as bridge, a bit a lot better without crashing every 30 mins. It just seems like they included everything in the Master, minus that one software, which just seems so cheap to just throw in anyways.

If I'm spending dough on master collection, I'd want it all. I do like the archival capabilities and seamless view to print conception with the software. I love doing graphic design work with print/marketing support on top of my web development stuff.

Anyone knows if Indesign really changed that drastically with CS4? I could just get away with getting the production suite instead and bare to use CS3 programs.

CS4 bridge is stable. Lightroom's cheap, go buy it if you want it :p

I want it all, that's my problem. I don't have enough capital at the moment to buy both CS4 master suite and LR2. That's good that CS4 bridge doesn't crash every 30 mins like CS3 version.

Never had CS4 bridge crash on me yet. All in all CS4 is a great upgrade from what was out before - if only for bridge( which now functions like a cut down lightroom rather than a poorly executed browser). Oh and ACR is excellent as is the non destructive editing features they added.

Did i say it was great?:p
