Does anyone have experance with both Lightroom and Photshop? What are the advantages of Photoshop vs Lightroom. I like to shoot in RAW if that makes a difference.

They compliment eachother imo. Lightroom is a great tool for color cirrection, cropping, etc. Photoshoo is good for drastically modifying the image.

Like Jordan said. Lightroom works perfect with RAW files. In addition you import all of your photos into Lightroom - by whatever designation you prefer. You can tag them, organize, etc. In effect it takes all of your photos and puts them in one central location.

I import almost all of my photos by date and then tag then as needed. Some are imported by folder depending on what they are.

I don't actually use Lightroom to it's fullest potential - but you know, someday.
