Same here, the subtle purple in the flowers is almost completely absent on the right Note the lost color detail in the foreground on the right - Where's the green grass fringe? The Adobe conversion often fails to differentiate fine color detail and just smears all the color together (especially at higher ISOs). The general color is basically the same, but the subtle color detail is different. You won't see a difference in the histogram using the same profile as the the Adobe DNG conversion, but when you look at fine detail, it's there. Also, your settings in Lightroom matter, you may not see much of a difference at default import settings, but they will become more apparent with more optimized settings (make sure there isn't too much Color NR applied - for starters, try 8 instead of the default 25 for Color NR at base ISO. I don't recommend using the Iridient color profile at all, it may prevent you from changing the color profiles later. Some of this would certainly considered pixel peeping and won't always be obvious when viewed normally, but there can absolutely can be a worthwhile improvement with some well processed images at normal viewing size. ![]() If that change is for the good or bad, I am not certain because I haven't compared enough to have an opinion yet. Additionally, a histogram is the way to observe a change in colors and Iridient does change the colors in it's default. I see a difference in those two files, but I haven't see it in mine, Erik. ![]() I may play around with the options on Iridient to see if I can make it do something that isn't in the Adobe DNG Converter, but for now my take on this is that Adobe DNG converter is free and faster so I see no advantage in the Iridient X-Transformer. Since Adobe is a little faster, I think I will use it. The Histograms between the two of them did not move. I went to the color option in Iridient and changed it from "Iridient V2" to "Adobe CC 2018." This made them identical. The Iridient files blues were a little lighter. The only difference between the two is a blue element in the histogram moves slightly between the two. I took a few shots and converted them with both utilities. Adobe's converter seems about 24% faster. X-Trasformer gives you a lot of control, but much of it is redundant with Lightroom (though they do turn off Lightroom's mods that would have been applied for me). Adobe gives you no control over the conversation other than file naming. Since then I've been comparing the two raw converters. Since it was only $40, I picked up a copy and replaced Adobe's DNG converter with X-Transformer. When I posted here about this, I learned of the Iridient X-Transformer. My solution was to use Adobe's free DNG converter and import the DNGs into Lightroom. It can’t have been easy over the past little while, as I am all too aware of myself, so a big shout out for getting a new version out.When I got an X-T3 I lost my ability to import RAF files into Lightroom 5.7. It’s been a challenging time for small independent developers, and I hope people continue to support Brian and co. Sony: A7 IV, A7R IVA, A7R IIIA, ZV-E10 and ILME-FX3.Iridient Developer was also updated with new camera support including: 5 adjustment levels (up from 3) for sharpening and noise reduction adjustments, plus elimination of the “default” option that mostly caused confusion.įor more details visit the Iridient Digital website. ![]() Improved luminance and color noise reduction algorithms.New option to automatically taper sharpening strength based on image ISO.New Sharpening Masking adjustment to allow for more selective sharpening of edge and detailed areas.A new preferences dialog for the Lightroom plug-in that allows for customization of the file name suffix/prefix and sub-folder when using the plug-in.The ability to save settings presets to file.Support for X-E4, GFX 50S II, GFX 100S and X-T30 II.30-50% faster processing for most operations on the M1 family of Macs.Here’s a rundown of what’s in the new version: Luckily my fears were unnecessary, and there is now a new version (Version 2.01) which brings support for all of the recent Fujifilm cameras as well as native Apple silicon compatibility. Some users had also written to me expressing their concern. It’s been quite a while since we got an update to Iridient X-Transformer, and I was beginning to get a bit worried about the future of the software.
