p.1 #1 · LR/CS3 question...


Ratings that I apply to files in lightroom are not showing up in bridge. Does anybody know if there is a setting somewhere I can change to make this work?

Why are you bothering with Bridge if you are using LR?

because Lightroom doesn't do everything important that Bridge does. try doing an HDR or panorama stitch from Lightroom. it's a lot messier than selecting the images and launching Photoshop from Bridge.

Are you saving the metadata out to XMP? You just select the files and do a save. That'll push the ratings, settings, keywords, etc., to the images' sidecar files and allow them to display in Bridge, too.

In Lightroom, rate your files, (hit the "P" key), then in the Library mode,go Edit>Select By Flag>Pick and then your picks will display. Click "Export" find a sub-folder to put them in, and proceed with Bridge, but I do not think the flags transfer from LR to Bridge, you have to segregate them in a separate folder.

I believe CTRL-S in windows also forces the write to the xmp file

There's a choice in preferences that will write out xmp data, too, but picking that makes xmp files for ALL your images.

LR 2 will do HDR and stitching with PS, BTW.

I don't see how you can say that. Have you ever tried? Works seamless and flawless for me with both HDR and stiching. What important things does Bridge do that LR doesn't? Maybe you can educate me?
I'm open.
