I just acquired the third part of the trilogy, which in addition to the built in features of Lightroom provides me with an abundance of pp cropping, de -noising and sharpening tools. It is not clear to me in what order O should use these tools, or does it matter. Thanks.

It is recommended you deNoise prior to Sharpening; no use sharpening the noise. Also a good idea to do both prior to using GigaPixel.

I wish Lightroom would send the raw file instead of Denoise. Going straight to Denoise pretty much subverts cataloging in Lightroom.

Thank you. Makes sense especially since when you save Giga Pixel you cannot save it directly into Lightroom (at least I have not found a method).

I import everything into Lightroom first. If you are working on a Mac, from the Lightroom grid view you can drop the images(s) onto the Denoise icon in the dock to open them. When you are done, you can save to the source folder and then synchronize that folder. For some reason, the Windows procedure is differentand more complex, but unfortunately I have not studied it.

It’s no problem in Windows either. It’s just that going through Lightroom it sends a TIFF to Denoise. I’d love if it sent the raw file.

In the video I referenced above, the head of product development for Topaz goes thru the raw workflow for Windows computers. I wish it was as easy as the Mac workflow I discussed. He indicated in the comments that they are looking to make the procedure easier in future revisions

Set up Gigapixel as an Edit In selection and it works nicely...
