There seems to be a tone of cool acceptance that “DxO just can’t do that” but I am not sure why that is the case. On the subject of having to export, and then work with DNGs in order to work with the final version of denoised images, the mere fact that there is no way to do this in any way in PhotoLab implies (to me) that there is a major issue relating to missing functionality in PhotoLab that DxO would do well to address. I tend to find that I can apply way more sharpening to an image that has been processed with deep prime, but there is no way to preview this other than the deep prime preview window which is a touch small for my needs. I agree that you can see the effects of lens sharpness on a raw file if you zoom in, but the sharpness is being applied to an image that has had a different denoise algorithm applied to it, so the results are not representative of the final image you are using (for instance) deep prime. However, I am able to see the results of Lens sharpness applied to my raw files when viewing them at 75% zoom and above on mt 28" 4K monitor. However, first exporting those optical settings to a DNG and then applying additional edits to that DNG will allow you to see those settings accurately at all zoom levels as you edit….
Many programs show sharpness and other settings applied to images at lower zoom levels, but to accomplish they are actually extrapolating the data which might look good to your eyes while editing but is not really accurate. The ability to view some edits below a 75% zoom may seem like a limitation, but it is part of DXO s insistence that what you see is not compromised. You will quickly discover whether or not this approach works for you. I use this technique quite often.I suggest you try it with an image or two. That is DXO’s recommended approach to getting around your issue… As I indicated, the Unsharp mask is the exception. You can see all the optical adjustments you applied in the DNG export including Lens sharpness and PRIME or DeepPRIME denoising at every zoom level as you continue editing. The purpose for doing this is to apply further edits directly to the DNG file from within PhotoLab. This is not about editing the exported DNG files in Lightroom or any other program, although you could do that if you wanted to.
