[QUOTE="MikeFromMesa, post: 1735769, member: 305741"] What I mean by using a browser as a front-end for an editor is a setup something like that used for most workflow tools. For example, Lightroom presents a film strip that allows the user to select one image after another, each selection bringing that image up for editing. It is a quick way to process through images. Similarly Dxo's Optics Pro and CaptureOne also allow the user to select photos to be edited in either a filmstrip (single screen setup) or a full-screen browser display (multiple screen setup) and users can click on the next image to be edited. Click on image -> image shows up in editor -> user edits image -> user clicks on next image to be edited. I was trying to find some way to do this for an editor that does not have this "front end" selection tool. One possible solution is to use Photoshop Elements Organizer which can be setup to allow the user to select an image and then call an editor to process that image. That presumably would work but I do not have a current version of Elements and don't want to buy one just for this "front end" functionality. In any case I hope that clears up what I am trying to do. As to the workaround, I appreciate the effort you took to detail it but the whole idea is to simplify editing and all of the steps necessary to save, load, edit and re-save images seems to defeat the whole purpose of the exercise. Still, I am grateful that you took the time to respond. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
