Rafael, I'm curious as to why you decided to abandon Lightroom. Can you enlighten me?

It just seemed too "library filing" by category oriented. Labeling selects vs rejects .... etc.

 

I don't do that kind of thing I either keep the shot or throw it in the bin.

I use the Bridge part of CS4 when I take raw images DNG's off a card. Since I up sample to 50 MB .... which I am happy to say the M8 quality handles quite well ... upsampling and opening as a tiff is done in the same move in Bridge.

 

My library is like this;

I just have my images beginning at 1001 and going up by number. I can pull for viewing images by spotlight searching them on my Mac The images appear grouped using a keyword search by embedded meta data. Grouping them ahead of time with a filing program like LR, ... I don't know if it is really necessary. The only time I pull shots from my library together is when I want to embed metadata into a new shot.

I will explain;

I take a shot of grand central terminal. I have an old shot of the same/similar in my files. I search and locate the old shot by metadata/ using keywords. open up the old shot> (this is important) open up File info see the old meta data Description etc/keywords etc. and my descriptions are l o n g ... I do a lot of the history and I research it well

Ok ....

this example is with PS CS;

once I close the old metadata I open up the new shot that has no metadata. Go to File info .... and touching the triangles on the new empty metadata fields of the new shot shows me the old shots metadata. I click on it and it comes into the new shots metadata. It's like cut and paste only faster

 

The above works well and complete in PSCS but in CS3 , commas, destroy the ability to click on the complete description. defeating the purpose.

So I keep CS and CS3 on my computer .... (now CS4 is on there also)

 

sorry to be so complicated!

anyway to get back to your question; I can't see how I would need LR.

 

Someone recommended Bibble and I thought maybe it has something that makes my workflow quicker.

Everything is done here one at a time ............Help!

I hope something helps answering your curiosity
