It effectively lets you use Iridient’s decoding engine in Lightroom. This way, when you import the resulting files into Lightroom, you’re bypassing the Lightroom RAW decoding process, but you are still able to use the files as if they were raw files. This process converts the RAW data to RGB data but retains the advantages of using a RAW file, such as highlight recovery and so on.
IRIDIENT DEVELOPER WINDOWS SOFTWARE
The software converts Fuji X-Trans RAW files to DNG from the native RAF, and during the process demosaics the images using Irident’s own engine. Iridient X-Transformer is an application from the makers of Iridient Developer. I’m a firm believer in using what works for you, so don’t just take my word for it and try it for yourself.
I am not involved with the developer of this software in any way, so it doesn’t matter to me if you don’t like it or don’t see the need to use it. It’s much better that you make up your own mind about whether or not the software is worth it for you, as it’s as much about personal opinion as it is about anything else. Please note that I’m travelling at the moment and so I don’t have access to my complete photo library, so I can’t post any comparisons, but you can download a trial version and try it for yourself.
So here is an extract from my X-Transformer book where I outline what the software does and why you might want to use it. I had thought that most people understood what the software did, and why you might want to use it, but as that doesn’t seem to be the case I thought I would clarify it a bit. I got a number of questions after posting this, with a number of people still unsure as to why one would want to use this software in the first place. I recently posted a video about processing a photoshoot that I did with my Fuji X-Pro 2, and in that video I used Iridient X-Transformer to convert the files to DNGs.
