[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 251060, member: 9240"] I would think the normal progression is the other way, from LR to PS. I am not at all familiar with Bridge, but my understanding is that if you're already using that as your organizer then for the most part LR is superfluous. The have introduced some functions in the LR5 Develop module that are above and beyond just the Camera RAW functions it formerly carried, but I don't know that it's enough to justify purchasing it [B][I]if you're using Bridge[/I][/B]. If you aren't, then as a workflow manager and catalog organizer it's essential - for me at least. Just be aware, unlike Bridge it is setup by default to store RAW adjustments in the catalog, so if you start moving images around on your own, outside of LR, you will break the links between the RAW file and the edits, so it's a commitment (you [I]can[/I] set it up to use sidecar files by default, so if you've got a bunch of them already just make sure you do that before importing anything).
