I think whatever Topaz module would not take a raw file. Therefore the choice would be how to export the LR or CameraRawFilter result as Tiff, Jpeg, of PNG in order to obtain better result from post processing with whatever Topaz module. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Topaz will work in a TIFF or DNG. I use it as a plug in with light room, just make sure it’s set to open a 16 bit TIFF rather than a JPEG. As for when, usually it’s the second thing I do. First I crop, then Denoise if I need it, then sliders, although if I’m making big exposure adjustments sometimes I’ll do that before Denoise.
