I started with Photolab5 a year ago and have just upgraded to Photolab6.
I also occasionally take an image into Affinity Photo for further processing. I still - very occasionally - use Topaz Sharpen as I can mask and sharpen but a portion of an image, which I can't do with DxO. The Spot Weighted mode of DxO Smart Lighting is quite useful for adjusting the light weighting of an image as well. DxO is very good for sharpening/lens correction and I prefer it's DeepPrime noise reduction to Topaz, which I'd used previously for about 3 years. I've been processing images this way for slightly over a year now and like what this combination can do. I still feel more comfortable with the adjustment filters and brush in LRC, so am sticking to it for now. I make any further adjustments if needed, then export the file as a dng with all adjustments to LRC where I do further processing if required. In my workflow, I start with Photolab and employ presets which I've created which change the camera profile to linear, add a slight brightening tone curve, some lens sharpening/correction, incorporate DxO Smart Lighting in the Spot Weighted mode, and add one of the Denoise functions - HQ, Prime, DeepPrime or DeepPrime XD.
