Whats the difference. Do you use both?

Just to clarify, not to be argumentative, between the choices of Lightroom and Photoshop that is exactly correct. There are alternatives, however, that allow pixel-level editing without the cost of Photoshop.... If you do no pixel editing then Lightroom is adequate. If you want to be able to EDIT at all, then Photoshop is necessary.
I checked out LR when it first came out and just couldn't warm up to the process, tried again recently with the same results.
Basically , if i were looking for a cataloging program it might be fine, but i already have my work flow down and don't want to change.
Do use PS, but also a lot of third party software as it makes my life easier. Have to be in the right frame of mind to sit at the computer and I find that not helpful with the learning curve that PS needs. Software needs to be used on a regular basis to make sense for me, and so OnONe, Topazlabs and Nik make my life simpler.
I have both, I have Lightroom only because I have to have it. A lot of people I teach use it so I need to know it's ins and outs. For the most part except for a couple things, I hate it. Even as an Organizer. I can organize and do everything I need to do in Bridge (Sort, Tag, Metadata, rate) and I do it my way. I have a very organized mind and I want things organized my way not how Lightroom wants them. The whole import/export thing just pisses me off.
Love Photoshop, been using it forever can do things quicker in there than any other program. Does EVERYTHING I need, from RAW to layers. I don't have to... OK, I do this here, then I go to this program , then this program...it just gets done and I can move on
Like how the DAM book suggest, I edit everything I can in Lightroom, then edit the best ones in Photoshop, saves time.
