Great book recommendation, Adam. And another thing to point out about 
the Bridge program is the fact that when the Raw images first come up 
they open with Photoshop already having made what it "thinks" are the 
right adjustments. And I don't know about you, but I'm finding that 
those auto adjustments - unlike the "auto" functions in the Image 
menu, tend to be so close to right that it really speeds to Raw 
workflow.
