Let's be honest: I can improve my version of the DAZ. If I want to.
It works for me.

found it in the DAZ Forum regarding DAZ Studio 4.12 :
Removed the "OptiX Prime Acceleration" option from the Advanced page of the Render Settings pane when NVIDIA Iray is set as the active renderer
- The option is no longer supported by the integrated version of Iray RTX 2019
And btw I think I know why, because on sickleyields page on deviantart there was a statement that only few persons got a performance boost and because Optix runs in the VRAM it can cause a fallback to CPU render and make the render slower. Many reported problems with scripted queued renders and Optix.

Fucking hell. 'We've got something loose in our code and our memory manager is weird, so let's remove a useful feature from our program, users can get by without it'.
Then I definitely won't be upgrading, I've got the OptiX really boosting my rendering performance using a lot of free RAM.

And this is why I don't do postwork for lighting.
There's just no way I can add red lighting for the highlights without it simply blowing every highlight up.
I'm currently rendering the next version. Lighting done 100% in Daz and I'll just add the ellipse in photoshop.

Mask for the right highlights / tint over the mask?
I've done an eye reflex here in two minutes, red in colour.

Tried with gradient maps and color ranges but it didn't work.
This was much easier. Created the lighting in Daz, and simply had to match it on the neon-like-elliptical-thingy.
Far from perfect but good enough considering it's literally the 2nd time I'm even attempting doing postwork. The image you referenced was the first. What I do not like with this workflow is the attention to details and all the work I'd need to make it proper as opposed to just flat out rendering the damn thing. And there's a LOT of details I should fix here before I'm feeling good about it.
Hair shine for example, eye reflections, the legs look like they're clipping and so on and so forth. But I DO like the hazy look it gives. Iray wouldn't do such a good job if that was a prop light, nor would I be able to have a color gradient in the light.

I just didn't initially understand what you wanted to do with the image as a result of post-processing in Photoshop.
In general, post-processing can save a lot of time and make it easier to work with light in DAZ itself, when many subtle lighting effects you see already after the rendering is finished.
Which I always do:
- Canvases. Standard set: Beauty, Environmental lightning, Light group, Depth. From the last canvas, you can easily make a quick mask for both background and foreground, meaning you don't have to waste time picking up DOF.
- Quick character(s) mask, render without light sources on all-white backdrop (255-255-255). Convenient for working with layers in Photoshop.
- Quick mask on light sources or emission canvas. This allows you to then correct the 'overlight' of light sources, which often get unnatural colors in DAZ.
