P: Combine Lightroom and Photoshop

Adobe please combine Lightroom and Photoshop to make an all-in-one photographers' tool. It is infuriating to work on a file in Lightroom and then to edit that file in Photoshop only to lose the previous Lightroom steps / history when the file is saved back into Lightroom.

    Not to mention but Photoshop was build 30 years ago for graphic designers. A small percentage of Photoshop users are also photographers.

    They're completely different concepts (non-destructive metadata editor vs. pixel editor) Brian, so even if they could combine them, you'd still hit the same issue depending on the tool you used. They have added many Photoshop-like tools into Lightroom, like the spot healing and local adjustment tools, but there are pros and cons to each approach.
