HOW FAR DENOISING AND SHARPENING SOFTWARE HAS COME IN FIVE YEARS

I recently purchased DXO Photolab 6, after being a user of DXO11, then DXO Photolab 4. I was just going through some older photos that I took and processed using DXO 11 in 2017 to see what the latest software could do insofar as reducing noise and sharpening. I found an April 2017 RAW photo that I took of elk in the Seattle, WA area at 7:39PM using my Nikon D500 with my Nikon 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G AF-S VR NIKKOR ED Lens. Needless to say there was very little light at that time. I found a jpf of that RAW image file which I had processed using DXO11 software to correct any camera/lens deficiencies, then followed up with Adobe Camera Raw (auto) to quickly correct the image, which I saved as a jpg. Today, I took that 2017 RAW file and ran it through Photolab 6 using Deeprime XL noise removal, then followed up with Adobe Camera Raw (auto), then I used Topaz AI Sharpen software (Motion blur - very noisy module) to compare the results. All I can say is the software has come a long way. Attached is a screenshot of the two jpgs.

The a7R V is the fifth iteration of Sony's high-end, high-res full-frame mirrorless camera. The new 60MP Mark IV, gains advanced AF, focus stacking and a new rear screen arrangement. We think it excels at stills.

Topaz Labs' flagship app uses AI algorithms to make some complex image corrections really, really easy. But is there enough here to justify its rather steep price?
