![]() ![]() This is what distinguishes the output of expensive (full-frames and Fuji) cameras from smartphones nowadays - the pixel-level detail. But in my case I am mostly utilizing the Iridient X-Transformer tool for its sharpness, which I can say without a doubt is an improvement over the Adobe RAF sharpness. I quite often find myself cropping images. So what is the difference between the files, well, it depends on what settings you have your Iridient X-Transformer set up to. I am just a pixel peeper feeling the need to justify the big investment into expensive Fuji camera with expensive lens for ability to crop images without loss of quality. Left: X-transformer, right: LR Enhance detailsīut in the end I admit the result is never noticeable in reduced-size final version. Also the meshy texture in the church window is better resolved in "Enhanced" version. I compared them at 100% but still, some watercolour artifacts are noticeable. LR sharpness and NR setting for X-Transformed file Then I tweaked sharpness in LR to try to match the "Enhance Detail" version as much as possible: Thank you for the great tip with using X-transformer as a plugin. You are much better off using LR sharpening and NR. For best results with IXT, don't use the default settings, turn off (set to NONE) all the Iridient NR and sharpening, it can really make a mess of things, especially at high ISOs. I then use X-Transformer for sharpening landscapes, setting sharpening to low or medium during conversion from RAF to DNG. You can use Iridient X-Transformer as a Lightroom plug-in and convert only selected files as needed - just like with Enhanced Details, easy and quick. Noise looks better in LR after Enhance details. I don't like how the noise in the Iridient photos looks. So I have to convert everything in Iridient, then import into LR. Because I cannot quickly and easily select which photos to convert, unlike in LR where I first import photos, then select ones to "Enhance details". There's another forum with slightly more information available (even the developer of IXT contributing) and I have asked this question there but no answer so far.Yes, Iridient X-transformer is much faster, with smaller files. I also doubt that vignetting and Distortion correction are working as intended - the dng files apart from CA always have a slight vignetting compared to the raf even when the box is ticked in IXT, and distortion is hard to tell, I suppose the lens that I was testing with produces very little distortion anyway but basically there's no difference whether this option is turned on or off. ![]() ACR (or Lightroom) does much better in this and the in-camera converter does even better obviously. The new 60MP Mark IV, gains advanced AF, focus stacking and a new rear screen arrangement. What is your experience with the Lens Correction / Chromatic Aberration setting? In my testing it did not do much. The a7R V is the fifth iteration of Sonys high-end, high-res full-frame mirrorless camera. Run Iridient X-Transformer to convert the RAF files (in the folder mentioned in step 1) to DNG, placing them in the DNG folder created in step 1. ![]() ![]() Exit LR (the next step can use lots of CPU and Hard drive temp space) 7. I have also run some tests with x-t10 files and it seems that we are on the same page here. Do not apply any auto settings (yes they can be done in Library) at this time. This is just a base starting point, prior to any further processing, but it makes a freshly converted X file look perfect. Please have a read, and let me know what you think! I think the results are wonderful, but would love to hear others opinions. I was searching everywhere for suggested settings, but it being such a new product I was unable to find any real direction. I did some rather rigorous testing over the past couple of days, to see if I can find an optimal starting point when working with Iridient + Lightroom. Masking adjust while holding the alt key to remove sharpening from areas without detail and shadow areas. I've just written up a new blog post here, outlining the settings I've worked out to get the most out of Iridient Digital's new X-Transformer conversion software. Apply ‘Texture’ to areas in the image with high detail using a local adjustment. ![]()
