Lightroom is like a 'lite' version of Photoshop, but it also offers image organisation features that Photoshop lacks. One is not technically better than the other - they are intended to be used for different purposes, often in unison.nnTypically, a Lightroom user will only use Photoshop to edit or manipulate images in a way that Lightroom cannot. Similarly, a Photoshop user will use Lightroom in order to organise, cull and add keywords to a library of images.
