In a nutshell, Lightroom is a workflow application combining the operations of photo management (importing, sorting, tagging, ranking, and organizing) with tonal editing, cropping, presentation and outputting for higher level editing. It is designed specifically for the photographic endeavor, not as a generalized tool that works across the broader spectrum of graphic arts needs like Photoshop/ Photoshop Elements. In adopting Lightroom, Photoshop becomes a complement for higher level editing functions (compositing, selective manipulations, etc.).
