I'm a long time Canon/Sony user but for a number of reasons I decided to move to the Olympus platform. Previously I could select a Canon/Sony image in LR and run it through an external editor such as Topaz DeNoise and the finished product was returned to LR as a tiff file. I do this with the ORF files and it returns as a tiff file, but no apparent processing has occurred. In this case the noise is not removed. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem.
When we had the stand alone topaz versions I remember it not rendering on the return back to lightroom. Can't remember what we did, maybe taking it into development tab and back? Or in library tab clicking to 100, 200 percen and back to fill frame?.
It will render with adjustment but can't remember.
Mine come back as xxxx-edit.tif files. My Lightroom puts them back near the original .orf files maybe you're might be bringing them back somewhere else in the folder?

Yep for some reason Topaz may put the returned Tiff in the filmstrip next to the orf, and the orf is still on the screen, so you have to find and click the tiff. For me it's always to the left of the original in the filmstrip.
Honestly, if you're using LR, the denoise filter is pretty darn good on it's own. I use ACR through Bridge, which is the same processing engine with a different UI, but the output is identical. Save yourself a step.

Thanks but the LR denoise filter is a blunt instrument. I'll use it when it produces an acceptable result, but DeNoise gives me the ability to fine tune things a bit.
Charlie is your lightroom current and have DeNoise AI ?
The latest and greatest is good. But if your lightromm is older it's best to travel through Topaz.
