Check out Laura Shoe's comprehensive tutorial. It is well worth the cost. LR has many wonderful features, but one needs help in fully utilizing them. Go to laurashoe.com.

It is not you. It is a typical Adobe product. Everything in it is counter intuitive. It is a great program once you figure out the A-backwards way everything works. Just go slow and things will make sense eventually...except for their file management system, which really sucks. The rest of the program works well.

Recently I have been told if I have CS6, I don't need light room 5 because I have the same engine and basically everything else is the same except for the organization of pictures, not sure if all this is correct..
They are two products with two different primary functions, and a few overlapping functions.
PS is a graphic editor. LR is digital asset management software. LR's editor is powerful, however and is capable of 80-90% of the edits you'd want to do to a photo. Both employ Adobe Camera Raw.

Julianne Kost is fantastic. Adobetv tutorials (Julianne is a teacher there) are great if you are like me and prefer having someone show you how to do things. Another awesome lady is Erin Quigley at goaskerin.com. I am attending a workshop on LR5 with Erin on Little Cayman Island in March [have to go where the workshops are you know :-) , at least thats what I have to tell my wife] of course I am a Diver as well, so it will be an awesome trip. Little Cayman is where i met Erin the first time at a digital shoot out. Awesome place. Dive in the AM, workshop in the PM

I recently went from Aperture to LR5 and haven't looked back. I joined Lynda.com for one month and learned a lot from the tutorials they offer. It was worth the $25.

It does take some time but once you're comfortable with it you'll never look back. Not only will it recover the occasional "Oops" but it will transform your normal images.
