Is there an easy way to get photos from Lightroom CC to Adobe Bridge?

Why? LR develop module IS Bridge.

According to Dave Cross and course I'm taking from him it is easier to print contact sheets from Bridge than it is from Light Room. So I thought I would give it a try if I can get my photo sent to Bridge from LR.

Close, The Library module is akin to bridge, the develop module is a souped up version of Camera Raw.

I have done this a few times to get to Bridge. There may a better way, but this is all I know.
Open LR and PS. Select pictures. Press Tab and Command. At this point, PS and Bridge apps are displayed. Select Bridge.

Hi collhart: Thanks for the suggestion. Does this copy or move the photos from LR's catalog?

I may be wrong here but it sounds like you think that all your photos are located inside Lightroom. This is wrong. Lightroom only contains pointers to where your files are located. In the same way that the Sears catalog does not contain the items but does have links to where they really are. If you make changes outside Lightroom or add/change/move the files then the links will be broken. Open Bridge and navigate to your photo collection and you will see all your photos inside Bridge. You can then do your contact sheet printing and close Bridge. Reopen Lightroom and nothing has changed.

NOTE: do not do any processing inside Bridge as Lightroom will not be aware of what you have done. Setting up a contact sheet makes no changes to the individual photos. If you do, then you will have to synchronize Lightroom to let it be aware of the changes you have made.

I gave you some bum info. When you open Bridge look in the Folders on left-hand side. From there you should see your picture/Lightroom folder. Open that and then you can highlight the ones you want.
I am sure there is a better way to do this. I very seldom use Bridge. There are people here who are real experts on the subject. Best of luck.

It does not work that way.

Bridge will look at the folders, and the imges contained therein. Bridge will not see the edits performed by Lightroom because those edits are still in the catalogue (which Bridge cannot read, or the XMP files which again Bridge cannot read).

You need to export all the files to a folder which is then visible to Bridge.

It is not difficult to produce contact sheets from the Lightroom Print Module. If the OP needs help on this I will be pleased to help if the question is posed in the Post Processing forum.
