Lightroom should catalog psb files, just as it does psd files. I have many psb files that are not over the 65,000 pixels per side or 512 megapixel limits, but are larger than the 4GB limit on psd files, and it would be nice to see them in Lightroom.

Hmmm I'm a working professional photographer and can't stand a black interface. :shrug:

They did botch the UI change but I'm not sure that a black background is the number one feature.

yeah adobe why would you take out the most important function of your software. rule number one of software development NEVER TAKE ANYTHING OUT ONLY ADD THINGS!

editing concert photos REQUIRES you to have a black background not only the full screen preview but also the interface itself to be black. my interface has been set on black for 15 years. and now i get a new computer and new version of bridge and you take that BASIC FUNCTIONALITY out?. why would you take out the number one functional element of your software? arent you photographers (rolls eyes really really hard so much it hurts).

put it back in NOW. like TODAY 2-25-2019

I'm not arguing that we need a better UI. Just the given reason.

I do product photography for a living and you can't rely on looking at the image against a Bridge window.

? Yeah you can. If the background is actually 255 white, then the subject in the image (model, product, etc.) will just be floating on the image backdrop area of Bridge. The fact that you cannot set the image backdrop to be 255 white in Bridge v9.x is the problem. No one wants to open all their images in PS to verify that the subject is on a ground of 255 white. I mean, my studio only runs 3 on-model bays 3-4 days a week and I still have to review ~1500 selects before I pass to retouching. I can't imagine having to open that many files in PS just to look at them on a white image backdrop to make sure the white in each individual file is good. That's why I still have all the computers in my studio running Bridge v8.1

You realize that you can't actually see whether a background is pure 255?
Open a file with a white background in Photoshop. Add a Levels adjustment layer and drag the black slider all the way to the left. Duplicate. Now look at 100%.
Anything not pure white will be obvious.
