Similar to what others have stated, but I add: - get as much of the color/tonal adjustment right in the RAW processor as possible (Not necessarily finished, but present as much data as possible for Photoshop to process later.)
- set the cropping - sharpen and do selective tonal editing in Photoshop You might try Lightroom 4.1 beta as well, it's available free from http://labs.adobe.com It allows you to use the same set of controls for TIFF, JPEG, and RAW conversion processing. Lightroom 4.1beta will read *ist D/DS/DL, etc PEF files, any of them converted to DNG with DNG Converter, or K10D DNG files. It can also output and read Photoshop files.
