So Lightroom is only "half-the-man" as PS?

I was confused about the differences.
If I am understanding you correctly, thank you.

Great card! The kids must have been thrilled!

Basically LR is a watered down version of PS with a 'GUI' interface :)

A slightly different view on Photoshop, I think it's well worth the time and effort to get proficient with it (even if it's a slow process). We all share a passion for photography and LR definitely can take our pics to another level. Photoshop can do all of this AND bring your creativity to a new level. I'm still honing my PS skills and I still have a long way to go. Thanks to countless youtube videos and this forum my progress is coming along well. As a "for instance" @carguy had a thread with an awesome idea for trading cards for young sports players. I was able to take my daughter's soccer team photos and throw them into PS to create personalized trading cards of my own. PS is great for editing and enhancing photos but it can also do so much more. Once you get a handle on it you can really amaze yourself at some of things you can do.

I think it's more accurate to say Lightroom is Adobe Camera Raw with a modified GUI, image cataloging and management functions.

With Content Aware tools, layers, masks and so forth, Photoshop is a different beast altogether.
