I do agree that the AI look (valid for both topaz and dxo pureraw2) sometime is disturbing, having details and NR here and there and missing uniformity.

That's why often i still use X transformer like you did (even with the added artifacts it can generate).

Using “Smoother” with all Iridient sharpening and especially NR off (set to none),  I don’t see any artifacts that I don’t get with any other demosaicing methods

Anyway the starting discussion was about plain LR vs others solutions, and about showing that X-trans can generate much sharper pictures that ones in DPR database, being competitive with other system, and at the end of the day even Morris is using ACR+topaz.

The raw from Morris isn't the best to show the differences imho, subject is big in the frame and details are quite large (in pixel terms) and defined (contrasted). With my kind of subjects (humans being, in studio, framed half body) differences are striking in fine detail and skin sharpness, i find the DPR test scene a much better example to show differences between process.

There are a lot if processing workflows today, just find the best for you.
