>> Having no red eye in Lightroom is an abomination and even Adobe agrees<<

Again, what is this about no ”red eye” in LR???

”Using the Red Eye Correction tool in Adobe Lightroom Classic is a quick and easy way to correct red eye in your photos. Working in much the same way as red eye correction, pet eye correction in Lightroom Classic helps you cure unnatural pet eye colors captured in photos.”

Lightroom versus Photoshop is not an either/or choice.
Lots of apps have overlapping features.  It is a matter of workflow, convenience, and whether you need all the advanced dials and settings at that moment.
In comparison, I also use Premiere Pro which can do audio editing and special effects, but when I need to do heavy audio work, I'll round trip the file to Adobe Audition, and I think everyone knows that Adobe Aftereffects is much more powerful than the Premiere Pro effects.
But it is very reasonable to have some tools in both places.  Having no red eye in Lightroom is an abomination and even Adobe agrees - they promised to do it, just haven't delivered on that promise.
If they want to do more advanced controls like Peter is suggesting, that would be great, but after waiting multiple years for a simple thing, that is why I think most of us have given up asking and just want a basic red eye removal - anything more would be appreciated but unexpected.

Hi Andrew, several years ago I have started with the Photography plan with LrC and PS with 20GB Cloud, then I added the 1TB. Last year I have found that the Sync from LrC to LR (Mobile) is really a pain. To have it more convenient I have migrated from LrC to LR and pay half price now.
Yes, there are functions I am missing, like Color and Luminance range mask, but I hope that Adobe will implement it soon. The local Hue tool implementation is a good sign for me.

I agree! There is so much more that Photoshop can do that Lightroom either does not do well or doesn't do at all.

I guess that I chose the right one! I only use Photoshop and not Lightroom at all... I store everything on my PC, and I use Carbonite for remote backup of my data files, plus DropBox for some with whom I share, and I have website birdsbydave.com for approx 5,000 followers since it went live April 30.

I would like to have the Color and Luminance range mask in LR (Mobile and Desktop) and not this red eye removal tool if someone is asking me. I cannot remember a picture I had to remove red eyes except recently when a friend was silly enough to use a flash direct on his camera. Sorry to say this clearly. I own Photoshop Elements 2020 in addition to LR and the red eye removal tool there is really terrible. I do not want to see black eyes instead of red eyes. The only good solution was to select it and correct it manually for a lot of pictures.

Yes Dave, the $9.99 monthly Photography plan with 20 gigs includes Photoshop. The 1TB plan at the same price doesn't. 
I can't fathom why anyone would consider the latter plan.

I thought that included Photoshop as well...

Actually, it depends on the Photography subscription plan you have.  I chose the Photography plan with 1TB of cloud storage over getting Photoshop.  In addition, sending an image to Photoshop creates needlessly large image files and wastes disk space.  Fortunately, one can just create a local adjustment on the eye and reduce exposure and saturation, but a simple click of the mouse certainly would have been easier.
