The database portion of LR3 is far superior to the current
versions of Bridge. One demo I do when
giving a presentation is to make a Smart Collection using Bridge. I push the keystroke to get it started and
then open LR3. In LR3 I make the exact same
Smart Collection. I press the key to get
it going and almost instantly the Smart Collection pops up. I then switch back to Bridge, and it's still
plugging away trying to build the Smart Collection. The speed at which you can find images is a
huge plus in favor of LR3.
The general layout of LR3 is another plus. Where Bridge has everything hidden in menu
after menu, LR3 has everything needed for the Library organized into
panels. Start from the top and work your
way down through each panel and you're done.
Nothing has to be searched for.
It's all right in front of you.
Keywording, ranking, rating, collecting images are very
straight forward. If you want to keep
track of your images, grab a copy of Lightroom.
If you're interested in the Develop Module and have either CS5 or PSE9,
stick with what you have.
