If so, I'm having a hard time understanding why?

Thanks Cindy....I am trying to see why to go to either of these when you can do the same things with PSCC? Thanks for your take!I use them all the time for NEF. Although I have Lightroom, my computer tends to be very slow with it, and I don't use its organizer. So I use Camera RAW for editing. Sometimes I will simply open Bridge and do my editing then close it without going to PCC.
If I've done editing in Camera RAW then head to PCC, there are times when I go back to Camera RAW for a few touch ups. Even Scott Kelby has done that in his videos.
Okay well now this is a different question...Thanks Cindy....I am trying to see why to go to either of these when you can do the same things with PSCC? Thanks for your take!
I absolutely agree. From a purely editing standpoint the Develop module of Lightroom is, for all intents and purposes, Camera Raw with a modified user interface. There are a few things LR can do, such as presets, that can not be done in ACR. To my way of thinking there are much bigger differences between Lightroom and Photoshop than there are between Lightroom and Adobe Camera Raw.[MENTION=13090]Horoscope Fish[/MENTION], Paul....it seems most of what you said can be done in Lightroom....agree?

Hey Vixen...thanks for chiming in. My intention was not to slam PS and/or ACR. I have both too, but am trying to decide on what the upside is for using ACR and LR., I just didn't want to complicate things by using ACR when I already understand most of LR. I just didn't want to duplicate and waste time in my workflow. I had never really understood PS, etc. until I watched about 12 hours worth of videos on it this past week. I am a lot more comfortable using PS now after understanding layers and masks much better. My goal is to be able to use PS and either ACR or Lightroom (in which I watched another 10-12 hours on to get even more acquainted with that program) in my workflow.and not everyone uses Lightroom neither. I don't because I use PS and ACR
I would say that your knowledge of LR is going to severely flatten the learning curve of ACR. If you choose to use one, the other or both is up to you of course but I'd say knowing LR as you do will be a huge benefit either way. I think the details of your workflow will work themselves out as you become more accustomed to using ACR/Photoshop.Hey Vixen...thanks for chiming in. My intention was not to slam PS and/or ACR.

yes....that is exactl what I was referring to!Bridge does a great job of producing proof sheets which is what I use it for. Are you referring to PS Camera Raw? It has quite an extensive suite of routines to work with RAW images. I have tried NX2 and to be honest, I have found PS Raw to be more extensive and I don't have to use 2 programs to get the same results
