Does Lightroom do everything that Photoshop 10 does? What is the difference between them?

From the website just listed by gwong1, this one paragraph says it all...
Lightroom is not for performing detailed raster-level editing, creating images from scratch, compositing multiple images, using layers, cloning & healing, adding text (except for watermarking), drawing shapes, editing objects out of a photos, or many of the other capabilities Photoshop has. However, many thousands of serious photographers use Lightroom very efficiently every day for 90% of their needs, and then pop out to tightly-integrated Photoshop for the rest (retouching and post-processing).
One big advantage is that Lightroom does have a bit better filing system to most photographers rather than Bridge.
Lightroom 4, does allow for more advanced manipulation and less need for PhotoShop but for certain corrections and process, you still need Photoshop or in a lot of cases, Photoshop Elements. Elements has become so powerful that a lot of folks are using it instead of PhotoShop-$699 vs $79 on sale.

A useful link from Scott Kelby and Matt Kloskowski. With 100 mini-videos, it will take a while to view them all, but it in the process it provides a good tutorial on some of the advantages of Lightroom. Focus is on the Library module, rather than Develop Module.

Thank you everybody for explaining it. That helps. I have Photoshop Elements 10 and, for now, I think that's all I need.
