I also discuss the limitations of the software and what to expect (see extract above) Chapter One: Using X-Transformer This is an important technical basis for understanding how the software is able to do what it does.
In the introduction, I talk about the software and what it does.I also provide an overview of how Raw files work, the difference between a Fuji and standard Raw file, and how the DNG format works. Here is a breakdown of what’s in each chapter: Introduction It also contains a set of bonus Lightroom presets which are designed to work with some of the suggestions included in the book. The guide is not too long and is 39 pages, broken down into 3 chapters and an introduction. Please Note: This guide will not receive further updates in its current form.ĭetails of the chapters, and what’s included This guide aims to provide you with a roadmap through those options and provide you with some recipes to get you started with the software.Ĭurrently Written To support up to version 1.6.x of X-Transformer. While it may seem like a simple application, the number of parameters available make for a lot of possible options when using it. Noise reduction is optional and can be adjusted (low/med/high) or disabled.This guide is designed to help you understand and get the best results from using Iridient’s X-Transformer Software in Conjunction with Lightroom to process Fuji X-Trans raw files. The noise reduction processing in Iridient X-Transformer shares much in common with the latest noise reduction available in Iridient Developer and is specifically optimized for RAW image processing. The lens correction processing in Iridient X-Transformer uses the same high quality resampling algorithms as Iridient Developer. The lens correction stage is optional and lens correction information can also be passed on through DNG opcode metadata and left to later processing stages or ignored altogether. Corrections are based on native Fujifilm lens information specified in their RAF metadata. Automatic lens corrections for distortion, chromatic aberration and vignetting.Sharpening is optional and can be adjusted (low/med/high) or disabled. Iridient X-Transformer features advanced sharpening based on the very highly regarded "Iridient Reveal" sharpening algorithms featured in Iridient Developer. The algorithms are identical to the latest "detail+" and "smooth" options in Iridient Developer 3.1.2. There are two interpolation options, one for a more detailed rendering and a second smoother, lower artifact version. This processing is always applied by Iridient X-Transformer and cannot be disabled or undone.
This transforms the camera sensor's X-Trans or Bayer color filter information to produce a full color RGB image. The key RAW processing stages that can be applied by Iridient X-Transformer during conversion to DNG include: I haven't tried it myself - i must admit yet, but i'd like to buy this Tool at months end. DNG Format Converter - but with the famous Image Quality, and getting the most out of your RAF Files like Iridient Developer for Mac. I haven't tested it out yet - but just wanted to inform you - Brian Griffith from Iridient Digital kept his word, and released the 1st Beta (Beta 1) from his X-Transformer Conversion Ultility, it's basically a Fuji.
