Blink tests on the shots show the difference close up. The full frame shots have to be downloaded to get the animated gif to work.

Are these at default sharpness settings, or carefully optimized settings?
To me, the Topaz images look over sharpened and the Lightroom (Classic?) images look under sharpened. My images from LrC never look that soft.
As an ex lab guy, I will say that sharpening for print is very different from sharpening for monitors, and each print size requires a different degree of sharpening.

Direct these questions to Bridges. They are not my images: I was using his examples from page 1, just putting them into the blink test to make the comparison easier.

Wellp... its prolly a matter of some personal taste. But I'd say:
Yes to
1) creeping on the windows (lol, I said that because who's windows are those?)
2) the other brick shot
On the fence:
the light (maybe your right on overshot?...but not much)
No to:
3) both bird shots. Maybe its just a bad shot to start with, and Topaz is trying to fix, but can only do so much.
