Photoshop has become more of a graphic designer's tool.
Always has been in my opinion and experience.
When I first got into digital in the late 90's the only Photoshop courses
available were for graphic designers with almost no emphasis on digital
photography. I was simply using Photoshop to optimize my images that had
been digitized onto Kodak photo CD's.
I doubt I'd ever switch to Lightroom as I'm able to do all I need to with
Photoshop and the Bridge and wouldn't look forward to learning Lightroom.

workflow with Photoshop and Bridge, but if you find yourself regularly
needing the features of Photoshop that Lightroom can't do there are
probably shortcomings in your photographic technique that need
addressing more than software. If you're going to have one tool for
photography Lightroom is the best choice. If you can afford both then
get both :)
Shortcomings in photo technique; well, quite probably but we won't go
there
today. I was more concerned with how LR would deal with repair of damaged
photos, but having had a look at the videos that George recommended, I am
really surprised at how much LR can do. I really want to buy rather than
rent (right term?), so I'll grab the latest version and see where we go
from
there.
