I am not a professional but I have alot of photos I need to keep organized. I used iPhoto, but between it and Photoshop, there were some steps that just slowed down the process. Basically Lightroom is a combination of an organizational application with basic photo editing capabilities. It integrates well with Photoshop for more advanced editing.

So where you can drag and drop your favorite photos into collections you can also set these parameters and LR will do the organization for you. Love this feature.
