Here is what Jeff Schewe says:

"Lightroom is a workflow app dedicated to working with and storing 
raw image files (primarily). Photoshop is a pixel editor...ideally, 
you need/get both. The dividing line is, do you do a lot of stuff in 
Photoshop? Retouching, image compositing, image manipulation? 
Photoshop. Shoot a lot of raw and generally need to only tweak white 
balance and tone/color, Lightroom. Not sure? Get both and figure out 
what is best after you get it...Adobe has a 30 day return policy."

I would download both trial versions and work with them a month 
each.  Then decide.  Have fun! ;-)
