When looking at Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and Adobe Bridge it is at first difficult to understand why they are different. But, after reading about each of the programs it becomes clear that each program has its own purpose. Bridge is used as the connection between the many programs in Adobe's arsenal. You can take an image from Photoshop to Illustrator through the use of Bridge. Because it is used with every other program, it can seem complex to those who don't know what all of the features are. This is where Lightroom comes in. Lightroom has many featured and tools but simplifies them and makes them more efficient to the user. Unlike Bridge, Lightroom allows the user to see more information about the images being used. Also, because Lightroom is database driven, an image does not necessarily have to be "on-line" to be used. These databases also make it easier for the user to organize their images based on clients or their own organizational needs.
To conclude: Lightroom does most of what Bridge does, but does so more efficiency, speed, and ease. This makes the user spend less time on the editing process and more time taking more pictures and completing more images.
