For those of us who are tied in with the Creative Cloud Suite I would say that Adobe Bridge makes more sense as a digital asset manager versus Lightroom simply because it makes photo management less of a chore, and perhaps more reliable, while maintaining a core level of functionality and familiarity. In short, Adobe Bridge is the dark horse in the competition of digital asset managers. This only scratches the surface and, yes, there are some features in Lightroom that are not in Adobe Bridge, but the similarities are enough, and the improvement significant enough, to make it a worthy alternative. I found that it would be difficult to go back).
For me, this feature is worth the price of admission alone (that’s almost hyperbole, but not really. No more having to synchronize folders in the event the state of the folder and its content changes, like Lightroom. Same goes for rating photos, filtering photos, and creating collections, among many other similarities.Īdobe Bridge also auto-synchronizes folders by virtue of its management system being a reflection of files and folders adding or deleting files or folders in Finder or Windows Explorer will be immediately reflected in Adobe Bridge. The exact same engine that drives Adobe Lightroom. It’s true that Adobe Bridge is a ‘Window’s Explorer’, if you will, for your photographic assets, but included is the ability to edit your photos using Adobe Camera Raw.
It precedes Lightroom by several years and has much the same functionality as Lightroom, however it seems that Adobe Bridge is seen as this extension of Photoshop that acts more like a viewer rather than a legitimate Digital Asset Manager - which is a shame, because Adobe Bridge may very well be the answer to a lot of photographers problems.
One of them is losing Adobe Lightroom in favor of Adobe Bridge.Īdobe Bridge sits in an interesting place in Adobe’s Creative Cloud lineup. I’ll grant you that sharing photographs and its mirrored XMP sidecar file is not as elegant as the all-in-one Catalog solution, but I can tell you that what you lose you more than make up for in gains elsewhere. If sharing a photograph with someone, as long as you pair the photograph with its XMP sidecar file, all photo edits and related metadata will come with it.
