It is for editing, organizing, and basic corrections. LR can export your photos anywhere to archive files, websites, print, e-mail. You don't ever have to go into PS unless you are doing major corrections or creative artwork. I have both and use both, but I use LR much more than PS. I like Martin Evening's book on LR.
