Hi, can anyone advise if it is possible to import all the edits done in Bridge, into Lightroom? Or am I going to need to re edit everything?!

 

Here's hoping someone knows a way!!

 

Thanks, Rae

No. You cannot "Edit" images in Bridge. Bridge is basically a file browser for 'local' files, not an editor.

Once images are imported to Lightroom, they are in the 'Cloud' and under the total control of the Lightroom apps.
