Can't Send an ACTUAL RAW FILE to a Plugin in Lightroom? I'll Show You How!

When one uses a plugin with Lightroom, Lightroom insists on sending a TIFF, PSD, or JPG file. One can't send the Raw file. In this video, I demonstrate a workaround by sending a Raw file, from Lightroom to Topaz Denoise AI. What I demonstrate in the video, works not only with Denoise AI but with any app that will work as a standalone application on Raw files.
