[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 507132, member: 9240"] OK, so we're stuck on semantics. Bridge is still invoking Adobe Camera RAW, it's just doing it specifically and not as a step before opening it in Photoshop, which is what the [B]Open Image[/B] button will cause to happen, as you said. The [I]exact same thing[/I] happens if you're outside Bridge and simply open the RAW file in Photoshop. Given that I don't have Bridge installed on my laptop (nor do I want it installed) I was unable to give specific dialogue, but suffice it to say that you're not "opening the image in Bridge", you're "opening the image in Adobe Camera RAW", which is what essentially what I detailed when I assumed the "Open" in Bridge was specific to Photoshop. Yes, you could argue that if you don't click on [B]Open Image[/B] that you've not used Photoshop and done precisely what Lightroom does with the Develop module since a sidecar file will be created and Bridge will (I am assuming) update the preview to reflect that. The difference, in my eyes, is that ACR is not integrated with Bridge, Bridge merely provides access to it. Again, semantics. ;) [/QUOTE]
