Actually, when I stitch together camera images to create one huge pano of a landscape I do it all at once, all 6 to 8 images. And, yes 1.4 GB PSD files. Going to PSB helped slightly back then. Final images converted to JPGs.
It works better that way on my current PC with 32 GB of RAM. With my old now long dead laptop with only 4 GB it was a challenge and I often had to do it piece meal.

I often shoot as many as 6x6 rows for ultra-pan photos, using a 35mm lens on a Nikon 850. For your close-up work, you might be using a 105mm macro. I take a few test shots to see which ISO, shutter speed and f/stop are the best, and then set the camera to those settings on Manual, to ensure uniformity of exposure. I then check carefully to avoid camera tilt for each shot, make sure there's plenty of overlap to help PS blend the edges accurately, correct for the lens' distortion in LR, adjust the light values in the most important frame and then copy those settings precisely onto each of the frames in LR. Then export all NEFs to PS and send the jpgs to automate in photoshop. (all of this with only 16GB of RAM). Finally, the resutant image has to be carved out of the irregular oblong image by the rectangle tool to create a perfect rectangle in PSD which then has to be re-exported as a JPG. I hope I haven't just told you what you already know well. Good luck.

Since upgrading from my long-ago bought D80, I have acquired a D500, D850, and D5. I also have a nice assortment of Dx and Fx lenses. However, I was always extremely satisfied with the flexibility of my first lens, the Dx 18-200. I would love to have a lens equal to that first one, that is, around 18-200mm, but in an Fx format. Is there one available from Nikon? If not, I may have to resort to other lens manufacturers. Thank you.

If this is not the AF-S f/2.8G lens, then I'm afraid I'll have to back out of this. The photos you presented do not show the full writing on the barrel, but I'm pretty sure, this is not the lens I thought you were offering. If I'm wrong, please clarify; otherwise, feel free to place it back on the UHH Market place.

Isn't the D90 a DX camera? Is this lens for a full sensor camera like the D850? Was it usable on your camera?
Also, I'm having issues with Paypal. They seem to be set up to accept my paying with a credit card and advise against a bank account except with people I know well, like close friends or family.

OK. Please set it aside for me. Is this returnable if not as advertised?

You probably want to consider the current Topaz solution of a RAW first in Topaz, outputting a DNG that is really only a 'wrapper' of instructions over the RAW. Then, import that DNG into LR (or PS) and continue editing.
Does LR classic read and process DNG’s exactly as it reads and develops NEF files?

As a seasoned user of the Topaz system, which way do you find the most effective to reduce noise?
1. Send the NEF to Topaz NR, and only afterwards, load the updated NEF to Lightroom OR
2. Develop the NEF in Lightroom, export as a JPG and then treat the JPG with Topaz NR.
Thanks.

A walk around Central Park yielded a few nice images
