You learn something new every day. I did not know Adobe was giving away Bridge. I have been a fan of Bridge since version 1 in CS2. I till use Bridge 5.7 for it's excellent scripting - though the ACR module is out of date. Thanks for the info.

Leighton,
There are other image editors that are available. I use linux often, and the imaging solutions there also have windows and mac os versions. Gimp is almost a complete photoshop replacement, and Darktable is an almost complete Lightroom replacement - both have windows and mac os versions. These are far more sophisticated than on1, and have a bit of a learning curve, but are free. Another less involved solution are both owned by Corel. Aftershot pro v3 is a bit like Lightroom and photoshop blended, but I think it may be linux and windows only - not sure (the 2nd is Paintshop pro - a bit like NEO with ai). I know of many many other programs that I know pros use regularly. Photo Mechanic, Acdsee is another popular one...not trying to confuse the issue, just trying to offer options. Each of them started out with one really strong feature, and then over the years mature into serious well rounded image editors. Capture One was just strong at RAW files, On1 purchased Genuine Fractals resizing code, Acdsee made the fastest thumbnails etc.

Yea, I've tried them all. I like Capture One, but when they switched to all pro versions, the price went up more than I wanted to spend.
One thing I have found out is Adobe Bridge (which is free) works really well with Luminar as a DAM substitute. You can set bridge to open in Luminar as the default which makes it even easier.
