Profiles go missing when using Topaz DeNoise 2.0, Lightroom Classic

1. The moment I select Photo/Edit in Topaz DeNoise, the regular stored camera profiles (Adobe RGB, etc, and more importantly, my custom camera profiles see attached snippets) disappear. In the LR Basic menu, these are replaced with a few generic profiles. I created a copy of the original image when starting Topaz DeNoise, so there's a two image stack, one TIF and one DNG. The original DNG has the camera profiles available OK, but the TIF doesn't. So... what do to? I need to continue editing the image with the camera-specific color-calibration profiles.

2. How do I select the Radeon GPU? Presently DeNoise is running in the basic Intel HD GPU which is relatively weak in comparison. When performing DeNoise processing, both the CPU and Intel GPU are pegged at 100%.

Overall, I'm really pleased with the results of using Topaz with Lightroom both! Great products...

Camera profiles are only available when editing raw files. TIFF and JPEG files have the External Editing Preference setting applied or when exporting the 'Color Space' setting applied is applied. The color space profile is embedded.

Two years on and now DeNoise processes RAW files and exports a DNG, and that's great. The resulting image is better than if you export the image as a TIFF to DeNoise.

Problem is, this causes the same issue described here. The exported DNG file, from DeNoise, has something wrong in the metadata (Per Topaz) that causes Lightroom to not recognize it as a RAW file like it does it's own created DNG.

Anyone have any idea how to fix that metadata, or what part of the metadata Lightroom is looking at that makes it think this DNG is not a RAW file?

Or, does anyone know how to, easily, color match the processed DNG file to match the RAW file without being able to use the camera profile?

I am not sure exactly how to do that since if the first application to use the raw data is Topaz DeNoise AI and will apply a profile as part of the process of denoising, sharpening and saving the raw.DNG image.

It is the same reason camera users ask why Lightroom changes the color and tone of my raw image, it does not match what I see on my camera screen.

I did the following test a short while ago using an Olympus ORF raw image from May 2005. The image is imported into LrC and the only settings applied are as shot WB and Adobe standard profile.

The procedure followed, DoNoise Preferences as shown on the screen capture, In LrC Develop Module select the raw .ORF image thumbnail in the filmstrip and drag to the DeNoise displayed at the bottom of my iMac display. DeNoise. DeNoise boots with the image in the display and immediately start the denoising and sharpening using the RAW mode, see the screen capture. On completion, I save the RAW.DNG.

The new image is saved in the same folder so I synchronize it to import to LrC. See the screen capture of the comparison, left is the DNG and right is the ORF.
