Lightroom and Bridge

Lightroom is designed for efficiency and ease-of-use, simplifying the photographic workflow while maintaining a high quality, non-destructive image processor. Bridge is a file browser, and acts as “the bridge” between Adobe’s Creative Suite applications. Bridge can be used across a variety of businesses, and its abundance of features makes it seem overly complex. However, Lightroom, as it is meant to cater specifically to photographers’ needs, removes this complexity while at the same time maintains power, flexibility, and quality. Another disadvantage of Bridge is its inability to view images that are not located on a local drive. Lightroom again makes up for this; since it is database driven, it is able to work with such “off-line” files. Being a database gives Lightroom other advantages. Accessing and searching for information about images is faster, and the creation of multiple databases is supported.
