OK, so there are good reasons to have the ability to control tracking and FEP separately...  I'll set up that way.


As for Topaz.  I haven't used it yet on Anything from the Alpha 1, so all my information is from my Nikons.  BUT, they should be analogous. 


In my experience, Denoise AI is significantly better than anything I've been able to do in Lightroom.  I've been able to get very clean D500 images shot at ISO 6400 and even 8000.  Other people have had reasonable success at even higher ISO values, though I try not to do anything  really crazy.  I can say with confidence that for higher ISO images on which I've used it, it has been far superior to either Lightroom or Photoshop.


The second part of the effort is Topaz Sharpen AI.  It's somewhat flakier than Denoise AI, and occasionally does a poor job, but for the most part I can images that are perceptibly sharper and better looking than sharpening in either Lightroom or Photoshop.


I've been using both for the last couple years and they've made it possible to regularly process high ISO images with better results that Lightroom and/or Photoshop alone.  I'll try to pull a high ISO Alpha 1 image tomorrow and play a little and see what I can show in here.
