I realized I did an R5 file and wanted to redo using an R7 file. When I import my RAW into LR, I have a preset that runs the lens correction.(along with some other settings, some I learned from you a couple or 3 years ago). I use the recommended function of Topaz to get a RAW into Topaz from LR using Plug-in extras. My understanding that uses the unedited RAW file. When done in Photo-AI I hit the button Save to Adobe Lightroom Classic and it returns a DNG to LR next to my original RAW file. Upon import of the DNG file, it ran the instructions in my preset including running the Lens Correction. Then I continue editing the DNG.

If I'm reading correctly, you can successfully apply the lens correction via an automated LR preset against the DNG returned from / provided by Topaz? It would seem this is the best of all worlds?

Yes, that is how it worked on the C-RAW file I tried.

I'm sure you can apply them, but those lens corrections may not work as expected after Topaz has messed with things. I don't use Lightroom and I dont move files around anymore since when you use the Topaz filter menu it handles the transfer for you. I'm not sure it even hits the disk at all and may be moving the images im memory because my disk usage doesn't spike when going to/from the Topaz filter.


"but those lens corrections may not work as expected after Topaz has messed with things."

About 4 minutes into the video, this is addressed:

I don't disagree with this approach, but the Topaz modules are now intended to operate first on the RAW file, outputting a DNG, where the DNG and original RAW should both be imported into LR, with the DNG considered the 'master' given the update instructions from Topaz wrapped around the RAW data content.
