My experiences with the shaky early support of XTrans have lead me to get to know and use several raw converters and C1 12 and LR 8.3 are both doing very high quality conversions now

Iridient developer for fuji files upgrade#

The new enhanced detail feature of LR 8.3 is really nice and I think if you're on 6.6 it might be well worth it to upgrade to 8.3. The current version 8.3 does very high quality conversions and when the XPro2 came out Fuji and Phase weren't getting along well and Adobe was doing better conversions than C1 (XPro2 was stuck in experimental support). Eventually support for XTrans was improved across the board as you might imagine but earlier versions of Adobe did have some issues that they've cleared up.

When I first started used Fuji X series with my XE1 C1 was providing some the best quality conversions along with Iridient and Silky Pix(source of Fuji's in camera raw converter). When the XTrans CFA was first introduced by Fuji nobody had support for it and the quality of initial support varied quite a bit. Neither will actually disable the embedded lens profiles. The same ACR engine is used by both Photoshop and Lightroom. Use Photoshop with ACR and you have that feature. But I have C1 and Iridient available if I feel an image might work better through those engines. I have different lenses for different purposes. To me the raw processing engines are just another tool in the toolbox. There is no reason Adobe could not offer the same thing. The one thing I do prefer about Capture One over Adobe is that I can bypass the baked in lens correction profiles and see the actual raw image. Adobe requires far less effort on my part to get from point A to point B. I tried switching to Capture One twice but could never get along with the interface which I did not find very intuitive. Testing the results with your own images with your own eyes for your own final output. Is one better? I refuse to answer that question on the grounds it might get me tarred and feathered. even adjusted to taste only, the images looked similar.Īre Lightroom and Capture One Fuji raw renderings different? Yes. My only subscription-based Adobe app is InDesign, which I was forced to use (and pay monthly for) when I installed MacOSMojavi. Even before this, worms were mostly in people's fruit. If you are using Lightroom CC, the worms went away with the upgrade that included 'enhance details'.

I dont get into any of the crazy maskings and everything so I can use C1 for free and not need Adobe anymore.

Plus C1 you can use Fuji express for free and it gives you plenty for processing your RAW images.

I feel like my images have a better overall sharpening of the file compared to LR and the colors I find are better in C1 as well. I found LR does cause the worms but you really only see them looking at 100% I think whatever real problems there might be with X-Trans are Fuji's responsibility to correct, not Adobe's or Phase One's. And when it comes to color, Capture One and LR each do a fine job of reflecting accurate color.

Iridient developer for fuji files software#

For my needs, the software that provides the absolutely best cataloging, including preview quality, is more important to me than a slight, hardly noticeable improvement in sharpness, contrast, etc. I will not be posting pics 'cause, bottom line, the differences between the three programs are so subtle that further processing can easily make the Capture One file look like the LR file, the LR file like the CO file, the Raw Photo Processor like the other two, etc. I did not try to make the images look similar but, guess what, even adjusted to taste only, the images looked similar. raf file I used for the test was adjusted to taste in each software product, converted to TIF and then adjusted again where/when needed. Since my copy of Capture One is pretty old and not programmed for proper support of X-Trans, this past weekend I decided to download Capture One Express for Fuji (a free download) and conduct a simple processing comparison between Capture One Express for Fuji, Lightroom and Raw Photo Processor. at least, not the kinds of problems that have been discussed over and over in this forum and others. I honestly haven't found any serious IQ problems with LR when processing X-Trans. I've also used Iridient Developer but stopped using it awhile back. I've been using Capture One and Lightroom for many years, with Capture One being the least used of the pair.
