The way it 'should' work is that I open a RAW file in PL, apply ViewPoint if necessary, then any other editing (including Nik plug-ins) within the PL workspace, and then save as a TIFF or JPG for printing with no need to export to another workspace (except in cases such as where Topaz Photo AI may provide further enhancement). Ideally, DxO would do what Topaz has done with their IQ suite-combine their key tools into one program.

This is a pain, as a 'normal' workflow would be to correct for perspective (e.g., what you could've achieved with a view camera or tilt/shift) and crop if necessary and then apply other editing. The reason I ask is that I have PL5 Elite and Nik4 (I'll upgrade these when the price drops to a reasonable upgrade level-DxO charges too much for upgrades, negating their advantage over Adobe's subscription model and the least they can do is cut the upgrade price to 50% of its current level to reward loyal customers!) and I've been frustrated that Perspective Efex (which I thought basically replaced ViewPoint, but apparently not) and the other Nik plug-ins can't handle RAW files (plus PE needs the original file to work). Please confirm if one can use ViewPoint 4 within the PL6 space as a first step before applying other corrections (such as tonality/color).
