>>4189601PS is best used as a tiff editor. Use C1 or RT as to raw editor, adjust input profile, wb, basic global contrast adjusts, etc. Then export as a 16 bit tiff. This is where PS comes in. Local color and tonal adjustments are done via layers, you can also do local filtering effects, like sharpening and denoising.
There are other things that LR does, but PS does better. While LR does support soft-proofing and color managed printing, its painful to use. Printing multiple copies off roll paper, isn't possible. The heal tool in LR is far worse than PS.

>>4189738>if your editing lasts more than just a minute of two per photo and if you have to spend hours editing your photos and its not for fine tuning, detailing and/or retouching, then your photography is shitResizing an image for print takes longer than a few mins. Tiff editing in PS can take me as long as 30 mins per photo for my own fine art stuff, longer still for my pickier art repro clients.
>>4190548>Darktable made photoshop obsoletePS main purpose is for making local color, tonal edits and masks, and production LF printing from roll paper. DT doesn't do that. RT is better than DT anyways.
