I will leave you on images processed with such workflow.Iridient Developer 3.8 has been released with Fujifilm X-H2 support this is a major update, and you can download a copy here. Losing about 15% of image quality for personal life shots and gaining portability, looks, fun factor and social integration turned the X-Pro2 I was using these past months into my favorite and highest recommended daily life documenter. I feel my Fuji photographs get very very close to my Nikon's by about 85%.

Install the Lightroom Plug-in by finding the option in Help -> Install Lightroom Plug-in If the Xtransformer plugin is already installed in Lightroom you can skip to step 4

Not only this way uses a single core of multicore CPUs, it is also the slowest. This method is favorable for quick conversion but does leave quite a mess in the Lightroom library. The Lightroom Method (converting from within Lightroom) In Lightroom, be sure to set sharpness to zero or software default before proceding with your usual Adobe Workflow. Proceed with the photo culling method of your choice (I use Photo Mechanic, you can use Bridge or import all converted files into LR) and import selected files into Lightroom (or Adobe Camera Raw) Once finished, go back to the folder that contains the Fuji RAF files and delete all RAF files Go for a walk and wait for the converter to finish Import/Move the Fuji RAF files into a folderįind the folder that contain the Fuji RAF files Make sure your computer isn't doing anything important (the software will drastically slow your computer down during conversion) This method also allows multiple files to be converted simultaneously using all the cores of multicore CPUs and is faster than the Lightroom Method. I found that method to be the most effective, clean and ideal for neat file management.

In this part of the blog, I'll show you how to use the converter through simple steps.

In the xtransformer converted DNG file on the right, each pixel is given space to display information. The orange handle of the shovel almost bleeds into the brick wall behind. When inspecting the RAF file on the left, we can notice a lot of smudges and over-sharpening artifacts in the center of the image on the tree trunk and branches. This first image of the apartment buildings is shot at 1/125 f8 to remove camera shake and hints of lens softness.

I have included more images in the zip file for further personal comparisons.

For the sake of this page, I have compressed them, but they can be found in max quality in the zip file. Here are some examples (you can download the raw files HERE for personal use only). Since X-Transformer rearranges the Xtrans color array into a typical Bayer array, the resulting digital negative will appear in Adobe softwares without the usual artifacts. This generates the 'waxy watercolor' effect that many would notice on foliage and fine detail. Therefore, Adobe is prone to skip colors and create voids of information that will need blending later on. Since Fuji's Xtrans sensor array is different from that of typical Bayer camera sensors, the sequence of colors is usually confused by the Adobe Camera Raw engine. Since C1 offered marginal improvements to my results at the sacrifice of a steep learning curve and inferior 'file stretching' abilities, I chose to continue working with Lightroom. As such, C1 and C1 Fuji is one and the same. Last time I spoke with the Fuji representatives, they told me Fuji simply paid Capture One to have the name appear next to the software name without much optimization. While I can understand its use for absolute images, it lacks the workflow speed and intuitiveness of Lightroom which I use on a daily basis for a living.

When shot at Auto DR + Auto ISO + Exposure compensation Zero, the resulting file allows an insane level of flexibility with full highlight and shadow recovery (unlike my Nikon NEFs which only allow shadow recovery).

While Fuji JPGs are pleasing to most Fuji users, I prefer exploring the full potential of the Fuji raw file in order to reach a level of visual fidelity to the content I chose to capture.
