You can do both with either.
Welcome to the forum!
Lightroom would be first choice because it has digital image management features too - library mode. Lr has many other useful features that you are likely to use too which Ps doesn't.
If you get subscription version you get Photoshop anyway but you need to learn to walk first. To get any real benefit from Ps takes years of experience. The only thing Ps will offer over Lr which you might need is cloning. Ps also has greater depth of adjustments but is 'destructive' layers can be useful but you need a good understanding before getting int that stuff.
Adobe Elements would be my first choice for someone dipping their toes into digital editing for the first time. Cheap. with 90% of Photoshop functionality. Once you have enough photos to warrant organising, a shift to LR might be recommended. Apart from retrieving photos from your database quicker, I don't see the advantage of LR over other editing packages?
Am I missing something else fundamentally better in LR than PS?
