Hmm yes, there seems to be a glitch in PL9 → see also here …
With some cameras it shows the right camera profile, with some the one from the last PL use and with some Default color profile.
I am aware. You’re taking about something completely different. This thread was about output sharpening. It doesn’t matter what you do in PL if the output sharpness is sub par.
If you are printing big and enlarging - my average size is A2 - then yes, no matter what make of camera, print sharpening can be essential because of scaling and pixel resolution.
Then there are the different sharpening modes in Topaz, like motion blur, refocus and two levels of lens blur for those lenses that can’t be tamed with a module…
Add to that that PL’s export only offers bicubic and bilinear resizing, with no fine control, and there is simply no competition. for Topaz enlarging with a variety of upscaling modes…
There is no way I could produce a good enough quality of file for printing at Picto labs to A0 size and bigger if I were limited to PhotoLab.

Agre Joanna!
The scaling in Topaz is also very appreciated by bird photographers I have heard. It also sharpens and denoises more gently than the more dedicated tools for that in Topaz.
I use it by myself when processing my digitized color slide pictures.
Sounds like “x is more than x” 
Misprint?
