[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 615256, member: 13090"] Okay well now this is a different question... Personally I use Bridge as a file viewer, for culling (in Review mode) and ranking shots. To cull I rate shots either 5-Star (Winners!), No Stars (Mediocre but Worthy) or Reject (Really Bad). Once they're all rated, I mass delete the rejects and start processing the 5-Star photos; the mediocre-but-save-worthy shots get archived. From Bridge I can directly open one, some or all of my 5-Star photos in Adobe Camera Raw. Once within ACR the real workflow begins: Tone, Color and Artistic Effects. That's my 'flow in a nutshell and it starts with ACR. In ACR I straighten (if necessary) adjust white balance, work with the five exposure sliders and apply a lens profile to correct distortion and remove chromatic aberration. Some of that I could in PS, but the specific tools ACR makes these corrections fast and easy. Things like the lens profiles can't be done in PS to my knowledge. I also like that I can use the camera presets in ACR (Landscape, Vivid, Portrait, etc.) and/or use the WB Presets for Daylight, Shade, Fluorescent, etc. Another thing I really like in ACR is the "Visualize Spots" function (most every shot at least gets checked using it) and the "Adjustment Brush"; again because these are simple tool that work [I]quickly[/I]. Lastly, in ACR the color gets generally corrected so when I move into Photoshop I'm working with what amounts to a "clean slate" for applying artistic effects. [COLOR="#FFFFFF"]....[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
