Many folks would do basic raw conversion and global editing in a program like DXO or LR, and then move to PS for local adjustments and finishing. DXO does not do layers and the ability to do local edits is limited. It also has all of the basic editing tools to adjust tone, WB, etc. These tools are designed for use with raw files. It has specific modules for many combinations of camera bodies and lenses that are intended to correct lens distortion, correct for sharpness, reduce vignetting, etc. DXO optics pro is really designed as a raw development tool. Very powerful but, IMO, not very transparent. Layers can be blended in many different ways, the opacity of individual layers can be changed, etc. And you can use external programs such as those from Nik, Topaz, On1, etc. PS has lots of selection tools for local adjustments. Then there are several additional adjustments that can be added as layers. In PS you can use the camera raw filter to do all of the basic edits to photographs that editor is the same as the editor in LR. It works directly on the pixels, though you can copy layers and use it non-destructively. PS is a comprehensive layer based program for graphic design.
