So here is the deal, I already have CS5 and am getting it figured out fairly well. However, I was talking to a friend of mine who is trying to start a photo business and we had both noticed that a lot of pictures we both really like were edited in Lightroom, not Photoshop. We downloaded the 30 day trial of LR and are both hooked, but also totally confused. CS5 seems much more capable (except for noise reduction, why does CS5 have such horrible NR compared to LR's amazing NR?), but LR is so simple to use. What confuses us most about LR is the whole import export thing. I understand import, and that what you do in LR stays in LR, but what about if I have to do something more and use PS? Do I then have to re-import the PS'd version into LR? If I actually knew what I was doing how much less capable is LR then PS? What about having two computers, will LR sync between them and keep them both on the same page?
Any observations would be greatly appreciated by the both of us!
Thanks!

P.S. Keep in mind we both already have CS5, so were considering LR as an addition, not an either or. The reason I ask about syncing between laptop and desktop is because when I'm on trips I'm obviously editing on the laptop, but at home I edit on the desk top, hence the organizational issues between them.
