I recently got lightroom due mostly to the buzz, and I spent a few hours in it. I'm still looking for one, single thing it does, which ACR/Bridge doesn't do. I have all the same controls for RAW work, adjustments, editing etc, and bridge allows me to sort by all kinds of metadata, I can have presets, everything.

IDK but I've never used Adobe bridge or camera raw (outside of photoshop) but I can't imagine working without lightroom.

I thought Lightrooms biggest asset was it's cataloging ability. Canon 1DsMk2, EOS RP, Canon 17-40 f4L, 24-105 f4.0L ll, Canon 70-300 f5.6L IS , Sigma 85mm f1.4

I export a lot to the web (flickr/zenfolio/fb/costco(printing), so this is a real time saving.

It (LR) is less expensive to buy ($299), and to upgrade ($99) and is aimed at photographers. You need to give me OK to edit your image and repost!

Photoshop is more expensive to buy ($649 for CS5) and upgrade ($174), since it is aimed at the broader needs of graphic artists. Well, there's a valid reason. First one I've heard - I didn't know that.

First one I've heard - I didn't know that. You can buy a full Lightroom and get six upgrades for less than the price of one CS5 and one upgrade! If you have little in the way of graphic arts needs, I would not bother with Photoshop for that reason alone. You need to give me OK to edit your image and repost!
