Lightroom v. Bridge
This topic comes up like tulips, except a bit more frequently. Well, Kelby and Kloskowski have created 100 videos, not 10, not 20 but 100, listing and demonstrating the reasons why Lightroom is superior to Bridge when it comes to handling and processing raw files; and so it should since it was designed for photographers whereas Bridge was designed to, well, bridge all of the Creative Suite apps.
For the record, it doesn’t matter to me if people use Lightroom or Bridge for processing raw files, or a non-Adobe product. I just found the list interesting. Hope you do as well.

Chromatic aberration correction enhancements in Lightroom and Camera Raw
I have been asking for years and years for automatic chromatic aberration correction in Camera Raw. Well, it has finally arrived, and is currently included in Lightroom 4.1 RC2 to begin with. It will be included in a future version of Camera Raw 7.0 that will accompany Photoshop CS6.

After chromatic aberration removal
They say you wait for a bus and none arrive and then two arrive together! Not only have Adobe added automatic chromatic aberration removal but also lateral fringe removal. This option is a bit of a holly grail but Adobe have found it.
Eric Chan has published an excellent article on the Lightroom Journal site that explains the feature in detail. Well worth reading. Be ready to wipe the dribble from your mouth as you read it! Click here if you have your tissues at the ready.
Photoshop CS6 and support in Windows
Adobe are not going to support Photoshop CS6 in Windows Vista, though it will now be officially supported in Windows XP and, of course, Windows 7.
