I have used a trial version (downloaded free from their web site). It's not post processing software in the same way as Photoshop. It's designed to correct lens aberrations, such as chromatic or spherical, for instance. The software is dedicated to particular camera models, and specific lens flaws (there is no such thing as a perfect lens...yet). Functions include de-fishing fish eye lenses, or removing vignetting. If you shoot with ultra-wideangle lenses, or suffer severe chromatic aberration using super-telephoto lenses, then DXO could well be the answer, but some correction is possible using full versions of Photoshop.
