Perform nondestructive editing - Enjoy robust support for more than 150 camera raw formats, and experiment with confidence. Adjustments you make to images in Lightroom won't alter the original data, whether you're working on a JPEG, TIFF, DNG, or camera raw file. Enjoy an elegant, uncluttered interface - Ease the learning curve and be productive quickly. Task-oriented modules whisk you through typical workflow tasks by putting just the tools you need at your fingertips."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/photoshoplightroom.jpg" /><br /><br />I'd recommend watching the <a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshoplightroom/testimonials">1 minute or so video</a> on the testimonials. Adobe is currently giving $100 off the normal retail price of $299 if you are interested. The software looks so nice, giving you the ability to adjust images in all kinds of ways. With this piece of software, I would say that digital lightrooms are really here. The only thing I would like to know is how this software plugs in with Photoshop itself.

It doesn't plug into Photoshop AFAIK - it's not meant to. It's a stand-alone RAW processing tool...

How would this compare to DxO, which I use periodically?

I'd say that Lightroom has a nicer workflow, but DxO can do things Lightroom cannot, such as correct wide-angle barrel distortion with lens presets.
