For most photography oriented folks LR is all that is needed.

Tony Cooper
Depends. If "most" is all photographers, then LR is probably sufficient. But, when we talk about "photography oriented" people, the thought is of people who take the photograph from capture to best representation. Then, at least Elements should be part of the post-processing package.

Not to downgrade LR's "Develop" module, but I think the photographer who wants to finish the process is handcuffed without PS in some form.

nospam
finish what process? lightroom can do a *lot*, without any handcuffs.

Tony Cooper
What is a "lot"? What are you, in kindergarten? A "lot", if it doesn't include what you want to do is "not enough".

more of your usual idiocy.

a lot means just that, a lot. since you fail at english, that means a wide variety of tasks can be done with *just* lightroom, no photoshop needed and without any handcuffs (unless that's your fetish, in which case, go for it).

nospam
most people aren't going to composite multiple images,

Tony Cooper
Composite? Composites have nothing to do with it.

of course it does. compositing is one of several things that is extremely difficult if not impossible to do in lightroom, but very easy to do in photoshop.

You ever heard of Layer Masks? Other processing involving Layers?

of course, and some of what can be done with layers and masking can be done in lightroom directly without needing either. not all, but the point is that photoshop is not always needed.

nospam
but those that do can get photoshop elements or cs/cc and use it with lightroom.

Tony Cooper
Naughty, naughty. Snipping to delete pertinent commentary.

wrong.

My post included:

"Depends. If "most" is all photographers, then LR is probably sufficient. But, when we talk about "photography oriented" people, the thought is of people who take the photograph from capture to best representation. Then, at least Elements should be part of the post-processing package."

again, no.

even photography oriented people (whatever that actually means) can be well served by lightroom, which is why it's so popular.
