X-Transformer currently costs just £23.75 and is produced by a small, independent software developer. I pay a subscription to use Lightroom, it’s not “cheap”.

I think that Lightroom’s de-mosaicing of Fuji raw images is substandard and I’m not getting the full benefit of the image quality my Fuji cameras are capable of providing.Īdobe should be doing way better than this. Yes, the photos will take up more space but that might be a good incentive for me to be more ruthless with my “pruning” during the editing process. Process everything through X-Transformer before importing into Lightroom and I might as well stop using that compressed Fuji raw format on my X-Pro2 as there will be no benefit if converting to. The difference is clear so I think it’s time for another change to my workflow. I likely wouldn’t have used it to process this photo as I wouldn’t have viewed it as containing lots of intricate details – just a normal (and rather dull and uninteresting) street scene. I am now thinking that it would better to accept the greater file size and just process everything I shoot on a Fuji camera (99% of my photography) through X-Transformer. dng version is always going to be much larger as that compression is removed during the process of converting to. This photo was shot using my X-Pro2 and I use a (losslessly) compressed raw format so the.
I was originally planning to run all of my Fuji photos through X-Transformer as I stated in that original blog post but then I noticed how much more disk space the. dng file processed through X-Transformer whereas the version on the right is the default. No surprise then that the version on the left is the. To my eyes the version on the left is the clear (and clearer!) winner. Which looks better / sharper / clearer / better defined to you? The image on the left or the image on the right? Small section of a photo viewed in Lightroom’s compare loupe. Click on it to see it at 100% or I doubt you’ll be able to see what I’m talking about and particularly look at the lettering on the red “shop to let” sign, but also at the brickwork and the little Christmas tree. It’s not a great photo, I didn’t bother to process it at the time and I’m just using it as an example here. This is one small section of a photo I took in York back in November, looking along Micklegate from Micklegate Bar. Why? Have a look at the screen shot below. I’m now beginning to think that I should just run all my Fuji photos through X-Transformer regardless. Since then I have been using X-Transformer on a photo by photo basis where I think it will be of most benefit to the image. Just over a year ago I wrote about using a then new piece of software called Iridient X-Transformer which dramatically improved my results when processing photos from my Fujifilm X System cameras.īack in January 2017 Iridient X-Transformer was in beta testing but the results were impressive enough for me to purchase the software right away.
