#Iridient x transformer windows full size#
The comparison I posted at the head of this post shows very clearly just how much of a difference there is (click on the image to see the full size version). Over the last year or so I had been thinking that Lightroom had caught up a lot and maybe there wouldn’t be a whole lot of difference between X-Transformer results and a native Lightroom import.

Once X-Transformer has produced the dng file you are free to import it into any raw processor you like which supports the dng format – for example Adobe Lightroom. What it does is de-mosaic the Fuji raw file and store it as a dng (Digital Negative) file. Iridient X-Transformer isn’t a full-blown raw processing package.
I had been checking the Iridient Digital web site for any further news of a Windows release for several months and then just as it seemed like nothing was ever going to happen I seem to have missed the notification by about a week. This was exciting news for me as I found it galling that despite much improvement over the last couple of years Lightroom still didn’t seem to render Fuji raw files as well as Iridient did. Last year I read rumors that Iridient were working on “something for Windows”. As a keen amateur photographer (ie – not somebody who makes a lot of money out of photography) I was not going to switch back to using Macs again just to be able to run Iridient Developer, no matter how much better it might make my results.

The software was only available for Mac OS and I switched back from Mac OS to Windows several years ago now. Impressed as I was by the results I was seeing being obtained using Iridient Developer it was sadly not for me. This seemed all the more remarkable as Iridient Digital is a “small” company, indeed to the best of my knowledge a “one-man band”. Iridient seemed to create cleaner, clearer, sharper renderings of the same image. I have often been astonished by the apparent difference in the rendering of Fuji raw files between Adobe Lightroom and Iridient Developer. Back then I was a Canon shooter but for the last several years I’ve been shooting more and more Fuji to the point where as I write I’ve not shot using my Canon gear for over a year.Īs a Fuji shooter I have been aware of the raw processing software “ Iridient Developer” for quite some time. I use Adobe Lightroom as my raw processing software of choice and I have done so since it was first released.
