It's not really in Bridge, but ACR called from Bridge. I do the equivalent from 
FastStone. I did try it a little, and it 
is indeed nicer than when I last tried it. Doesn't appear to be pure LCE, but 
does nice things.

Ah, no. I would have to create new action(s), as the existing ones would then 
over do it.

It appears that I am one of the few who regularly use PS Actions. I use them 
ALL the time, on every image. If they 
weren't there, I might have forgotten how to use some important tools.

They are also wonderful for processing several similar images. I turn on 
recording of a new Action, do my thing, then 
stop recording when done. I can then repeat exactly the same editing on other 
images with a click. If I make a mistake 
and backtrack, that's all recorded, too, but individual steps may be deleted 
after recording, to clean up.

Ah well, one could hope. :-)

Why thank you!

Driving me crazy. So much great stuff lately that I have trouble taking it all 
in, let alone making the comments that 
appear in my head as I browse.
