It takes minutes to process the files (latest Intel Core i5 processor 9th Gen, but no dedicated graphics) and the result is disappointing. I tested it and I advise against using it.
#IRIDIENT X TRANSFORMER SETTINGS UPDATE#
In Adobe‘s most recent update of Lightroom they added the „enhance detail“ function. Especially when you’ve used the RAW compression on Fuji RAW files. Sometimes I add a little sharpening in Lightroom too, but with increased masking to about 65-70 so only some areas oft he pictures will be affected.īe prepared for the fact that DNG files are much bigger than RAF files. As a result you’ll get perfectly sharp pictures in Lightroom that are ready for all your other post processing routine. Which also means – no more wormy artifacts. That means you do not have to do the sharpening in Lightroom any more. What we have basically done here, is that we have done all the sharpening already in the conversion process. The conversion process is relatively fast and will create an additional picture (DNG file) in Lightroom automatically (save in the same folder as the original file). My personal RAW options are displayed below.Īfter you have done that select the RAW files you want to convert. Start Iridient X-Transformer and set up your RAW options. Iridient X-Transformer is a utility that can be used to convert Fujifilm RAF images to DNG format using Iridient Digitals high quality RAW processing. This video is a bit long but hopefully you will get a good idea of what each setting.

X-Transformer can be downloaded and used as a free trial version. Asking the question can you get better results using Iridient Transformer compared to Lightroom on its own.

The Software will do a conversion of the Fuji RAF Files to the more common DNG Files. Using Iridient X-Transformer, the overall ability of post processing Fujifilm RAW files will be enhanced. Fortunately there is another practical way to get rid of the post-sharpening worms in Lightroom and to even bring in a little more dynamic range in Fujifilm RAW files. You could argue that you could just move to Exposure or Capture one but in fact most of us are already used to certain post processing routines in Lightroom. If you overdo sharpening the picture looks more like a painting than a digital picture. When sharpening RAW files in Lightroom you will recognize wormy artifacts when zooming in. There seems to be a much wider dynamic range and especially the sharpening is much better. Other RAW conversion software like for example Exposure from Alienskin or Capture One do a much better job in processing the Fujifilm RAW files. The RAW conversion of Fujifilm X-Trans files in Lightroom is a bit of a let down. It is noted for its ability to process Fujifilm X-Trans raw files. Beside all the advantages of shooting RAW with Fujifilm cameras there is unfortunately one major disadvantage.
