Lightroom: Support Common Image Formats (EPS, GIF, PDF, BMP etc.)
Feature request: Please add Lightroom support for common Adobe publishing and Web image formats, such as EPS, AI, PDF, GIF, and PNG.
Many of us use Lightroom to manage client images in NEF, JPG, PSD and other formats. But the clients' associated images, which are used on their Websites and in their logos and publications, are invisible to Lightroom. If Adobe Bridge can display these other image formats, why can't Lightroom?
Even if Lightroom did not provide direct editing support for these other image formats, it would still be extremely useful if Lightroom could catalog and display them.
It would also elevate Lightroom from being "just" a photo editor into the realm of being a true Digital Asset Manager (DAM). Now that Lightroom includes basic video support - isn't it time to support all the common image formats that our other CS applications use?
Please vote for, as well as reply to, this request if you would also like to see Lightroom support these additional common image formats...

I guess it is because I primarily use LR as a Photo Asset Management and therefore can see value in exporting in the other common WEB formats.
And the other thing is that I also use Adobe Bridge for other assets.
Cheers, Don.

As long as no third party developer fills that gap, LR needs an extra conversion workflow by using third party applications, which is not very handy.
JPEG2000 may be not be this popular among photographers, but it is used in many institutions like museums etc, as it is known to have some huge advantages for archiving big data pools in an effective and error correction friendly way.
For the interested, some scientific insights about the advantages of JPEG2000 can be found here:

Export of BMPs would be nice also as sometimes to create a wallpaper or graphic for use in other applications it needs to be a BMP.

Lightroom: Support cataloging BMP files in Lightroom.

Lightroom is about image management and to miss off something like .png beggars belief.

Yes, it "beggars belief" that this basic image format support has not yet been included in Lightroom.
Thank you, and all the others, for your support of this common sense request. ...pt

Also Export to PNG should be possible.
