More and more, I'm using just BreezeBrowser and bypassing opening Bridge before jumping into Photoshop. Just curious if others using BB still use Bridge, or is BB proving to be enough? The only thing I miss in BB is that I can't open multiple files at once. BTW... LightRoom is my RAW processor.
I'd be curious to hear your thoughts & opinions... thanks.

Hi John For viewing and rapid deleting would like BB better than Bridge, I use PhotoMechanic. Just use PM for the initial editing, then finish in LR ... but before viewing will select all and create one to one jpegs so the images open up fast !!
Can't think of a better editing (for final selection) than LR, lots of features !!

John, I use BB and process in Photoshop. Never open Bridge.

Thanks for the replies guys!
Robert - are you using Lightroom as part of your workflow?

Not presently though I do have it and want to start using it.

Hi John, I use Downloader Pro then BB Pro. Delete the chaff, then batch rename the keepers. Then import into Lightroom and use it to organise/keyword/develop. That workflow works for me as BB is so much quicker at culling, and seems silly to import a whole bunch of stuff into Lightroom (which takes time to create previews, especially if 1:1) that you are going to delete anyway. When you are in BB you can use Ctrl-Z after selecting up to four images to compare them at 50%, 100%, 200%, etc. Very handy for checking focus/sharpness on a bunch of identical shots - is that what you mean by opening multiple files at once?
Cheers,
