I have just purchased a new computer and have Adobe 6 creative cloud suite running. I have both Bridge/ACR and LR5.3.
I have never used LR and am currently evaluating whether I should go that way. I know all the develop module sliders do much the same as ACR, I am just trying to decide if I want LR to control my cateloging or contine on my own way.
Bridge works fine though- not an issue with versions...john
