If my RAW image is well exposed it needs only minor adjustments to exposure and contrast, some cropping and some sharpening. Why do I need to use Photoshop for that? I do not clone out power lines. I do not make objects fly. I do not stitch images to create panoramas. I do just a few simple things which are completely analogous to what I did when I had an enlarger in a darkroom. For that, Lightroom is perfect and you do not need Photoshop. And you do not need any books either. I have stopped buying computer books altogether. There are free resources on the Adobe web site and elsewhere on the web that are more than adequate when I have a question.
