Lightroom is a stand alone product from Adobe that organizes photos and allows for non-destructive editing of RAW image. Photoshop is a more comprehensive editing program that has a lot more editing tools, but isn't as robust from an organizational stand point.
I use Lightroom and Photoshop Elements and 98 percent of my images are edited only in Lightroom. It is only big clone jobs or things like that that I take to Elements.
