Just wondering what kind of workflow you use between Lightroom and Photoshop.

I love that Lighroom is non-destructive but there are things it just can't do, or at least I don't know how to achieve the same results. Such as removing the "Fog" with Unsharp Mask. I also like the "Adamus sharpening". Do you just apply Adamus Sharpening in photoshop when you are exporting photos(on, say a copy of the original)? Do you create copies and start littering your Lightroom database with 2 copies of everything? Do you just do the photoshop stuff when you're going to post online? Things like Unsharp Mask, do you use an alternative method in Lightroom or just do it to all photos before adjusting in Lightroom? Or do you just use Lightroom to keep track of files and destructively edit them in Photoshop instead?

You can apply some sharpening in Lightroom (under Details), but I usually do as much as I can in Lightroom then export to Photoshop for cloning, layering, sharpening etc. I usually only sharpen when I am exporting or printing. Just my 2 cents (from very much an amateur)

I use lightroom for going through all my RAWs after shooting and using it to change white balance, exposure, etc. so mainly as a RAW editor and jpeg exporter. I know photoshop has a great one as well but I think that lightroom has such a good work flow, it's clear that adobe put a lot of testing and took a lot of feedback because everything is so much quicker and more pleasant in lightroom, but as soon as I need to do something more than overall filters, I send it straight to photoshop.
