IS LR now or is it intended to be better for photos and have the same or
better features than PS?

Perhaps this will help:

Photoshop is a program capable of creating art. Able to do extreme alterations to photo images.

Lightroom is to a photographer what a darkroom and enlarger used to be to photographers last century.

Lightroom 2 has some modern day improvements to what you can do during the process of developing digital images and enhancing them for printing. Basically it is a "Photographer's tool".

Photoshop could be a digital artists tool and can be used at the point where Lightroom has no further ability to work. Use it then to recover near disaster images or make art photos like this: http://www.brisbaneweddingphotographers.com/images/child-mother.jpg

That's a very nice rendition,

Look good and that could be done in Lightroom also with the vignettes tool.


but how much is it due to PS as opposed to the skill of operator. I couldn't reproduce that in either PhotoPlus, PSP 9 or Elements 6 and if I owned PS you could probably add that to the list. I can do a reasonably good job at correcting what I shoot but I'm no artist. My guess is there are books or web pages that could be helpful.
But Douglas, I think you've missed a wider message here. The op seems like a nice enough guy but he has a query a day ranging from what camera he should buy to the lens that would do his purchase justice and now to what software he should use to manipulate his yet to be taken images. So I think responses are for discussion among the responders rather than seriously answering a unique query. In fairness to the op, the ensuing discussion generated by his posts can be a mixture of provocative and informative, your post is the latter.
