Tony CooperOther than the cataloging/library features they are very similar animals even down to using the same RAW processing engine. Once you consider PS comes with Bridge, you just have a slightly different workflow to learn to gain similar benefits from either LR or PS.

photoshop is an extremely capable image editing app but it lacks some of the stuff lightroom has.
Tony CooperFor most photography oriented folks LR is all that is needed. Once you add in a need for major cutting & pasting, then PSE or CS6/CC should be added. Also, if you are doing any compositing, PSE won't cut it, then the LR5 + PS CS6/CC workflow option is the way to go.
And vice-versa. LR lacks some things PS has. The better system is having both LR and either CS or Elements.

depending on what you want to do, that might matter or it might not. also, a non-destructive workflow is quite a bit harder with photoshop because it's not designed for it. it's possible but it takes a lot of effort.
It takes some care, but not effort. "It's possible" suggests that it's very difficult, and it's not at all very difficult.nospam
photoshop elements is a terrific way to get started and it's about $50-60. it's more than enough to keep you busy learning for a while. in the event you outgrow it, then you can get photoshop cs/cc.
