LR is also a catalogue program.
They work in tandem with each other but start with LR, I process tens and thousands of photos a year and they all go into LR first, and perhaps 1% will go into PS for more advance stuff.
Ive always managed my photos myself in Windows explorer folders as I find it makes it easier to back up/recover

Like you do with film, you can process the negative for print, no matter how many print you make, the negative stays the same.
Also, you can go back every step, no matter how many or how old.
how is it on file space?
The "catalogue" size grows with your photo collection. You can always save and back it up.
I only use photoshop for the occasional shot where I reckon brushing in a Google nik plugin is a good thing, or for retouching (it's far quicker to retouch in photoshop than Lightroom because it works at pixel level). But that's really rare - two photos out of 400 required that for me so far. And they didn't need it... I just like to use it to convince myself I'm not being royally screwed with subscription plan, which will go up in price soon...
The only other thing photoshop is great for is enlargement. I print at 20x30" or 30x45" sometimes (or equivalent in cropped ratios) which is massive. Photoshop has a clever tool to resize, resharpen and noise reduce when enlarging.
I always like to buy software outright, even it costs more upfront.
Been looking into both and PSE might actually be better for my needs as it gives me a bit of both worlds.
This looks interesting, Ive used CorelDraw with work before but not PSP.
