They are not competing programs, they do very different, yet similar things. Lightroom’s catalog beats Bridge hands down, especially if you have a LOT of files. PS is best for compositing, manipulating images. Lightroom is a digital darkroom for processing photos, primarily from raw. One important note, EVERYTHING in Lightroom is non-destructive. No matter what you do to an image you can always get back to the original. I have started using Lightroom as the frontend to PS. When I want to work on any images, I locate them in Lightroom and from there and work on them in PS. What I really like, is that when I close the image in PS, it is entered in Lightroom as a new image rather than replacing the one I sent to PS. Again, the non-destructive philosophy of Lightroom. After a I finish a photography session, I load the images into Lightroom and start tagging them there, it is a lot easier there than in Bridge. If you can afford it get them both.

Is there anything I can do in Lightroom 4 that I cannot do in CS5 extended?
