I do get it, you're just not paying attention to what I'm saying. Lightroom imposes extra steps on me if I don't want to use the Auto-Import feature and the default file organization. I can't just point the file browser to the folder I want to work on. You're missing the simple fact that with Bridge, I don't have to Import in the first place, I want to work on files in a certain place, I just go there. Lightroom's organizational features (the Library and how you interact with it) get in my way rather than making my life easier and you're stuck with using them. So Lightroom adds extra steps (Import) in order to gain features I don't want (the Library) but can't get away from (The Library once again). Lightroom is good software, but it doesn't work for me. -- M.
