@ruthenium@ , thanks for the information about DNG being made as a standard RAW format. That makes a lot of sense now. However, as an end user I really would like to have the "download as DNG with corrections" option. I guess we can't have everything in life. Any idea when this option is going off of Photo Lab? PL 9 (Elite version) still offer this.
Sreedhar.
My understanding is that this feature was removed with the update on March 17 to version 9.6 (the latest is now 9.7).
You may have an earlier version if the option of exporting DNG with corrections is still there.

Gary, are you sure you "can not use the acr superresolution technique" on a tiff?
At least on my win11 system, acr superresolution is not available on a tiff file.
I do use gigapixel- and it works well. The adobe super resolution model is just easier and fits into my workflow seamlessly and quicker. Not a big deal, but I hate to change my workflow for no real reason

Is it possible your tiffs are 16 bit vs 8?
I just recently realized that a ton of my old tiff files are unreadable in my favorite fast file viewer, and I think it might be because they were all 16 bit color per channel. Just a thought. In my case it explains why some tiffs open and others do not.
16-bit TIFs have been around for decades. I'd be really surprised what software cannot see it. FastStone, Irfanview, etc. are free and can view simple 16-bit TIFs. Maybe if they have some layers or extar complxity there could be limitations.
Whether the software can upres is a different issue.
The "new" dxo export does not let you select an 8 or 16 bit depth. The only dng choice is no compression and high-fidelity compression. I suspect they are 16 bit.
Again, I am surprised that they removed dng with all their corrections because dng is now a "standard" file, yet they can use a proprietary compression.
