For now I am relying on DxO PL4 to help me with Lens corrections.

For noise reduction I try and see what DeepPrime does but 50% of the times I simply don't even use PL4 noise reduction.

Produce a TIFF from PL4 and apply Noise Reduction (and if needed AI Sharpening) using Topaz tools.

The above produces very pleasing results when pictures of family/people are involved.

Have not been able to take many landscapes of late but I do use PL4 DeepPrime NR and also ClearView setting in case of landscapes only. ClearView actually takes care of micro contrast and tonality much better than sliding around micro contrast manually.

Good idea. I have Clearview set at a pretty low level (20) by default, but perhaps I should use a higher level of that for landscapes. I've been treating it like dehaze in Lightroom, and only bumping it up when the image is a bit hazy to start with.

For context in PL4 this is the tool layout...

Can dig out some samples later in the evening...
