Hi Jeremy,
Just to make clear there is an ongoing discussion about this to find the best solution.
That said, can you tell me in your workflow what you are doing in LR or Bridge as the intermediate stage before PS.

Just as Jeremy I prefer to use the Bridge. The thing that I use in the bridge is ACR to prep my images as far as possible. After that I use the image processor to save in the desired format together with an action. What I really need is the ability to run actions while processing.
I normally have a batch of a couple of hundred images. I run 1 which is exemplary for most of the images through PS. I record that as an action. I turn to the bridge and process the whole bunch with the image processor as well as that action I made. After processing I go over the images and enhance those that need it further by hand.
I would be happy as well when I could invoke an Photoshop action in Phocus which runs before actually saving towards JPG/TIFF/Etc... ! (it is scripting language so it should be possible as long as someone has PS installed) No MFDB software has that functionality which totally baffles me.
Currently I convert most images to DNG and run them through the bridge. Fortunately I don't need DAC with them and I am very comfortable in PS/ACR for color correction, etc..
I totally agree with Jeremy that it would be very beneficial to Hasselblad to get full Adobe support. Many people I hear are scared away from the fact they feel they have only the option to go through Flex or Phocus or go an alternative route with 1 extra step and loose something apparently valuable (DAC).
