It depends on the kind of photography you do. Are you someone who shoots lots and lots of pictures and wants to spend as little time as possible on each picture at your computer? Then you are probably better off with Lightroom. On the other hand, if you love to work on a single image, pay attention to all the details, layer images on top of each other, add design elements, replace elements in your photo and so on, then I am sure Photoshop is your choice.



Maybe the following is a little to over-generalized, but it might help:



Lightroom: sports, weddings, travel, journalism

Photoshop: portraits, fashion, advertisement, fine art



For nature and macro photography, people like to use either of those I think.
