Oh ok, yes we differ there quite a bit, for batch work I go through raw and if it is client work and they only gave me jpg I go through raw via bridge, even I can't do that I might go to Lightroom.

I personally dislike Lightroom , but maybe I have not given it a fair shot as my experience with it was fixing it and showing an old lady how to work lightroom - ironic since I have never worked in it.
