![]() My point here is not to brag, but to point out that my the system I am testing this on is not underpowered at all. I have an enthusiast grade CPU, the Intel I7 5820K, which runs 6 cores and 12 threads (the software sees 12 cores, not 6) that runs at 3.6Ghz, but I have mine overclocked to 4.3Ghz. But I wanted to share my experiences with it today and talk a bit about how I have worked it into my workflow to allow me to continue to use Lightroom.įirst off, this software chews up your CPU, no way around it. It is not perfect, but I would not expect it to be issue free, it is a beta release after all. The software is currently in Beta, and I recently downloaded it and have been playing around with it. Which you can then use in Lightroom just as you would a RAW RAF file, with the benefit of not having the sharpness issues that an RAF file imported into Lightroom would have. How – you might ask? Iridient X-Transformer, an RAF to DNG converter that utilizes the Iridient Developer engine to convert your RAF files into Adobe DNG files. But what if I told you that there is now a way for Windows users to get the benefits of Iridient Developer while continuing to use lightroom? ![]() Iridient Developer is one of those alternatives that is known to handle Fujifilm X-Trans files better, at least in regards to sharpness. ![]() Yet still, many continue to use Lightroom not out of some loyalty, but simply because learning a new processor is a pain in the rear end and most of us don’t have time for that. Adobe has made strides in their X-Trans support, but one key area that continues to frustrate Fuji-X shooters is the sharpness or lack thereof in the Lightroom files. It is just simple, easy and intuitive, but as we all know with Fujifilm X-Trans files it has some flaws. Ė4-bit edition of Windows 10, 8.1, 8 or 7.Love it or Hate it, Adobe Lightroom is one of the most popular image processing and management solutions for a reason.Ė4-bit Intel 圆4 compatible processor with support for SSE3 (Intel "Prescott" or later, AMD Athlon 64 rev E or later).Iridient X-Transformer supports Fujifilm RAF images from the following models: Noise reduction is optional and can be adjusted (low/med/high) or disabled. The noise reduction processing in Iridient X-Transformer shares much in common with the latest noise reduction available in Iridient Developer and is specifically optimized for RAW image processing. The lens correction processing in Iridient X-Transformer uses the same high quality resampling algorithms as Iridient Developer. The lens correction stage is optional and lens correction information can also be passed on through DNG opcode metadata and left to later processing stages or ignored altogether. Corrections are based on native Fujifilm lens information specified in their RAF metadata. Ěutomatic lens corrections for distortion, chromatic aberration and vignetting.Sharpening is optional and can be adjusted (low/med/high) or disabled. Iridient X-Transformer features advanced sharpening based on the very highly regarded "Iridient Reveal" sharpening algorithms featured in Iridient Developer. The algorithms are identical to the latest "detail+" and "smooth" options in Iridient Developer 3.2.3. There are two interpolation options, one for a more detailed rendering and a second smoother, lower artifact version. This processing is always applied by Iridient X-Transformer and cannot be disabled or undone. This transforms the camera sensor's X-Trans or Bayer color filter information to produce a full color RGB image. The key RAW processing stages that can be applied by Iridient X-Transformer during conversion to DNG include: They have detailed information regarding the format on their website here: The DNG format was created and is publicly documented by Adobe. This program converts Fujifilm's proprietary RAF image data to the openly specified DNG image format. Iridient Developer is widely regarded as one of the highest quality RAW processors available. The Iridient RAW processing routines have been in active development for over 12 years for use in Iridient Developer and have been optimized and refined over the years for the best possible image quality. Much of the core RAW processing, sharpening, noise reduction and lens corrections featured in this program are shared with Iridient Developer a more full-featured RAW processor that is available only for macOS. Iridient X-Transformer is a utility that can be used to convert Fujifilm RAF images to DNG format using Iridient Digital's high quality RAW processing algorithms.
