Lightroom Collection works in CS4?

[Kumar]

I downloaded trials of Lightroom and CS4. If I have a collection in Lightroom, can I use it in CS4 as well? Or do I have to rebuild it in CS4?

Thanks,
Kumar

No one knows? Or is it impossible?

LR is a database application and Bridge in CS4 is a File browser, so work very differently.
So no you cannot use your LR colections in Bridge, if that's what you mean.
However you can do smart searchs in Bridge, which are effectively collections, so you could duplicate collections that way if you wish.

Thanks. I've not really needed LR, since I have only about 2000 images, and they're all properly categorized, backedup, etc. Sp what you're saying is if I made a collection in LR, and did appropriate keywording, I could search for them in Bridge with those keywords, and then that would form a collection. Is this correct?
Thanks,
