Here is an images of Ham Rock and the LA Sal mountains in the background. This is in Arches National Park. Image was taken in 2013 using the SD1 Merrill and the 24-70 mm DG lens.
I find that I am using the Sigma Add-in to process a lot of my Merrill and Quattro files and am very happy with he results. I like being able to do all my X3F processing in a single software. I think both of the images below are acceptable and be tweaked slightly to almost exactly match.
The first image was processed in SPP and export as a Tiff file to Photoshop for further processing. The Tif file was then processed in Camera Raw and slightly refined in Photoshop.

The raw file of same image was was imported directly imported into Photoshop as a PSD file and further processed in Camera Raw and slightly refined in Photoshop.

Let me know what you think
I think there is way more detail visible in the photo processed in SPP . . . even too much maybe. I think it looks slightly over-sharpened. Otherwise I like both. I think I would prefer something in between these two, now that I've seen the one from SPP, and know there is so much detail in there. If I hadn't seen it, I might be perfectly happy with the image from PS.
Thanks for the Comments Scott: As I explained to Ted, above, the default sharpening in SPP does over-sharpen. I plan to post a black/white version of PDF image on the June monochrome thread tomorrow. I added a modest amount of sharpening using smart sharpening in PS. It really looks good!
If I turn down the sharpening in SPP I am sure I could achieve the same result processing the Tiff file in PS. The reason I like the Sigma add-in to PS, it allow me to do all my processing in one software program.
