Is anyone on the forum is using Dxo and Lightroom? Other than the lens/camera corrections in DxO, does it have any advantages over Lightroom?

I don't use LR. I use DxO since a couple of years. It's this software that brought me back to digital photography. I am on version 8 now.

(Only) if your camera/lens combination is supported by DxO does this s/w do the better job on geometric correction, dynamic range correction and chromatic aberration. In most cases, when I develop my RAW pictures I use the Auto function which carries out 8 automatic functions. Geometry needs hand work.

DxO misses a serious Organizer module. I use PSE10 for that.

There is a good review in PC Magazine (of version 7 though):

I am using DxO Optics Pro, but not Lightroom, I use PS Elements. I love DxO for the Lens Correction, it does a brilliant job with chromatic aberration. I have some non-Canon lenses which don't work with Digital Photo Professional.

I also use DxO for the perspective correction features which I find really easy to use.
