Lightroom :: Switching Between V4 And Bridge CS5?
May 18, 2012
I've been using bridge the past 2yrs, currently CS5... and looking to switch to Lighroom4.
Thing is, I'll probably use bridge from time to time, and already started rating stuff in Bridge. I noticed when I opened Lightroom that the star ratings were there which is great, but, in Lightroom I setup a copyright and applied it to a group of images which when in Bridge I'm not seeing.
When doing star ratings, keywords and copyright tags... do the files/images saves that info? I don't want to spend the time cleaning up my system in Lightroom, to find out that when I burn the files to discs and use on other systems or in Bridge the info doesn't carry.

When switching from the Library to Develop module, there's a several second delay. However, when going to the Book module, LR4.1 will beach ball for a good 15-20 seconds. Other modules (Slideshow, Print, Web) are better, but....
My spec's: 2010 15" MacBook Pro, 2.4Ghz i5, 8gigs of RAM, 500gig 7200rpm HD, nVidia 330 with 256mb of video RAM.

I'm using Lightroom 2.6 on a Mac G5. I've got 93.36Gb of photos ( 9,000 RAW files plus their sidecar files) on a 500Gb firewire 400 drive. I'm upgraing to a 1TB firewire 800 external, and my file is (I believe) on my internal hard drive under users somewhere.
I can piggy back the new and old externals, or copy my photos to the internal and then transfer to the new drive when I connect it, but I have no way of connecting both firewire drives to the computer at the same time.
What's the most effective and easiest way to transfer my catalog and photo files from one drive to another and have Lightroom find them and sort everything out?

Almost every time I switch in and out of Lightroom 5.2 running on OS X mavericks cursor and keyboard control freezes up for around 10-30 seconds. Other applications including LR still continue to work during this freeze up but the mouse cursor will not move and I just have to sit and wait for a little while and everything will resume normally after this delay.

I recently updated Lighroom 4.1 to 4.2 successfuly, but now any time I go into the Develop module, Lightroom pauses, then crashes and forces me to quite the program. Is this a bug than needs to be ironed out, or is there something else going on?

So, this might be a silly question. I have lightroom on one monitor and when I drag it over (the program window) to my other monitor it pops (changes color) after about 1/2 a second. There is a shift in color. I'm wondering if it is the monitors ICC profile or something weird like that? Both of my monitors are samsungs (different models) and they are both using the Samsung natural color profile.

In Library mode, when I'm switching between all my photos, there is a fade in fade out transition as it switches to the next photo. Can I get rid of this transition? I would like to just switch to the next photo without any fancy transition.

I'm a huge fan of Full screen mode (pressing F) to review my image large without UI clutter.However often the image in Fullscreen looks quite different from what I see in normal mode within Develop. The full screen image is brighter (by about 0.5EV) and lacks contrast. Exporting the image and reviewing externally shows that it is faithful to the version in normal Develop mode.
Originally I thought this was due to visual perception where the dark border made the full screen version appear brighter, but this isn't the case. Using Lights out mode with all tabs collapsed and then switching to Fullscreen also exhibits the difference. Further I've taken screenshots of both modes, put them in layers in Photoshop and the difference is very noticeable switching between them.
I'm not sure if nobody is noticing or using Fullscreen or if it's somehow unique to me? As it stands, without being able to trust Fullscreen mode showing a faithful image it's rather useless as a review tool.

I'm running LR5 on Windows. I've got the grid view on my primary display and a second display showing the loupe view.
If the focus moves to another application (i.e. a small notepad window on the primary display) then I can still see LR with its grid view in the background behind notepad on the primary display however the loupe view on the second display disappears and I can see the desktop.
Is it possible to configure LR not to automatically hide the 2nd display when the input foucs moves to a different wiindow? I'd like to be able to continue displaying the image on the 2nd display while I'm doing something else on the primary display.
I've not been able to check but I've a feeling this is new behaviour in 5, I don't think 3 or 4 did this.

When I change to process 2012 on an image that has been worked in 2010 I'm seeing a big change in the image, much brighter, less contrast. Any way to closely preserve the old look while updating the process?
Also wondering what the new 2012 process brings to the image, aside from access to the new tools. Will I see a better (or just different) rendering of the image from older files?

Sharpening applied in develop module is not shown when switching back to library module. It looks the problem occurs when having size to "FIT". With 1:1 there seams to be no issue. Export also looks fine in 1:1.
I use Mac 10.9.1, LR5.3, Nikon NEF 24Mbit from D600.
I hope this is a way to get support from Adobe.

purchased the 5.5-upgrade to 6.0 Designpremium. Everything seems to work properly except the bridge, wich won't start as stand-alone - works only as Mini-bridge inside photoshop.
While trying to start the bridge from photoshop ("go to bridge") results in a bridge's crash...
In my former installations (5.0 and 5.1) everything was ok ...

I am new to Lightroom. I have been using Bridge and Photoshop since CS3. I have my own system to name and place folders into Windows My Pictures. I also do Batch renames for images in each folder I upload, including a name and date on the folder of images, which is placed in a folder that is labelled by year. This works nicely for me. But when I open Lighroom and try to import by going to my C drive, and finding the folders, it does not import where I would like it to, does not carry over the information, and in fact, makes a duplicate folder in Windows My Picture. How do I get it to import exactly what I have done in Bridge?

After opening Bridge CS6 (and using mini Bridge), there are no thumbnails showing. I've pointed Bridge to just one folder with less than 5 photos in it and it cannot even display them. I'm running a recent Mac Pro with 16GB RAM and kick graphics card.

Is it possible to import metadata into LR3 that I've created in Bridge CS4? Another thread here said it's possible, but there was no explanation on how to proceed.

I am having trouble with my metadata description / caption box when exporting to Photoshop CS6 and saving for web and devices. Once I save for web and view the image in Bridge all the necessary fields are transferred from Lightroom except description / caption field.
Below are the steps I have followed thus far.
> Tick Automatically write changes to XMP in cataloge settings
> Tick the box in the basic info field and caption sub field in Edit Metadata Presets
> (Command, E) Edit a copy with Lightroom Adjustments
> Resize then (Save for Web and Devices) in Photoshop CS6

I was pleased for the first time ever to see some yellow labels created in Bridge retained after an import into LR.
But before I got too happy, I then noticed (and this is why I'm writing), that the red labels I created in Bridge are not there only the yellow ones.
Anything I can do to have LR show all the colors?

I'm having serious problems with Bridge after the ACR 7.4 update, and I am considering simply abandoning Bridge altogether (assuming 4.4 doesn't foul up this nest as well!). I have important Presets in PS ACR. Can these be exported to LR?
I also have Collections in Bridge I want to keep. Can this be exported to LR?
Hopefully, this can be reasonably accomplished. If so, it becomes a point in favor of the Cloud subscription.

Having organized, edited and rated my photos using Bridge CS4 but recently started getting seriously into LR3 I still want to keep that file structure, either in a transitional period or indefinitely.
I normally use Bridge to import the photos, then spend some time creating sub-folders (one folder per event), organizing them. I'm hoping that I can add those (already organized) folders into LR, but can't figure out how. I see how I can import the photos, but I don't want that as I want to keep them all in the same location (they're all organized on the hard drive as I want them), just have LR "see" them so I can further edit and rate them. How do I do that?
I also want LR to understand and see the edits I've made to my RAW files as well as my ratings, keywords etc.
Are there other things I should keep in mind when having my photos work with both Bridge and LR?

I have highlighted the Caption box and entered the information in the field shown below then Synced Metadata and saved. When I export the file to Photoshop CS6 and save for web and devices as a jpeg the description field shown below comes up empty. All other ticked fields translate from LR to bridge just not the caption/description field.

I am saving the metadata in LR4 (as I normally do with LR3) and not all the adjustments are registering in Bridge CS5 or Adobe Camera RAW.
The develop panels (i.e. tone, presence) in LR4 have obviously changed and don't exactly match the current Adobe Camera RAW adjustment panel and so I am noticing that all the topmost develop tools such as Tone (Exposure, Contrast, Highlights, Shadows, Whites, Blacks) and Presence (clarity, vibrance, saturation) are not registering/landing in Bridge.

I just watched a few Lightroom 4 tutorial videos and it looks like exactly what I have been waiting for. I have been using PS for years but only accidently discovered Bridge on my hard drive a few months back and it happens to be exactly wha I had been looking for to organize my 1000s of SCANNED family pictures.
Today alot of programs are coming out for pictures downloaded from digital cameras (which I plan on eventually getting back to having had my own darkroom in my "youth"). So, I am wondering if this is true for Lightroom. Can i use it for scanned pictures and will it import all the metadata I have been entering into my photos in Bridge? Certainly the photos have to be cleaned up a bit and that may have to be done in PS but I like the way LR4 flows. I have looked, years ago, at Flicker,etc....too remedial.
