Lightroom is my preferred platform for viewing, selecting, editing and delivering images, but occasionally, I need to open images directly into Photoshop, or view a folder of images in Bridge. In either case, the XMP data is the key to making a seamless workflow for that kind of circumstance. This Lightroom lesson explains how to use XMP data to allow a synchronous interaction between Lightroom, Bridge and Photoshop Camera RAW.

Hi Jared,
This was the perfect podcast for me, as I just started using Lightroom, but I still love what bridge has to offer as well. We are really excited to be having you speaking at our Syracuse PUG on August 9th, as well as your workshop on August 10th.
Again, this was incredibly helpful and easy to follow!
