The Fuji colors are a great starting point and I know it will take me a while to achieve that look in Capture One. It's also a lot more barebones without any of the built in Fuji color profiles and stuff. Anyways I gave it a try last night and while I don't mind learning new software, I don't know if I like the workflow/UI.
#IRIDIENT X TRANSFORMER VS SYLK MAC#
For some reason I thought it was Mac only.
(I've tried the NR in the tool itself and using LR's after and all combinations thereof.)Īnother user informed me yesterday that Capture One is on PC. My main issue is the noise reduction is worse when using the tool but I guess that just means I need to take less noisy pictures overall.
Thanks for the write up i'll give Iridient X-Transformer another try! I've been through it with various settings and tutorials but maybe I just need to tweak it a little. There's a webinar recording here of a great video explaining that workflow. If you're not intimidated by learning a new program, I've heard Capture One handles Fuji files better. My workflow is probably not as fast as it could be, but I've been super happy with the results. Then I render out new JPGs for posting / sharing / whatever. If I feel I need more sharpening, I usually leave the amount between 20-25, up the radius to 1.2, bump the detail to around 40-50, and maybe increase the masking a bit. He also has an eBook guide, here.Īfter I have the new DNGs, I edit those to my liking. I think I've messed around with the settings a bit since then, but the basis came from this video from Thomas Fitzgerald. Then, I send all those through Iridient X-Transformer, which automatically sorts them as need be, and adds them to the same quick collection. I go through my photos and select the ones I'd like to edit, basically my selects, and add the RAFs to a quick collection. Then, I import everything into Lightroom. I shoot JPG + RAW, then dump everything into sorted folders on my desktop. I was considering making a video about my process, but wasn't sure there would be any interest, but I can write out a basic guide for you here. Imagine doing that for 2000 pictures?Īny updated guides or maybe word from Fuji or Adobe on working together on a better Raw conversion process for the X-Trans sensor? Sometimes it is night and day better than in Lightroom sometimes I get better results just tweaking in LR, but man that work flow is even more tedious. Am I missing something here? It's a pretty tedious process to get every single picture just right through selective masking brushes and such.Īs for sharpening in Photoshop, the results are mixed. You end up sharpening almost the whole image when you only want to sharpen certain things and with the "wormy" effect being so prevalent obviously setting the mask higher would prevent the most worms. Most have you set the sharpening mask detail to like 10 for everything but that obviously doesn't work for all pictures. The presets that have been going around don't seem to work either. Not only are they imported in much nosier than normal but the noise reduction adjustments don't really seem to work either. Iridient X-Transformer doesn't really seem to sharpen any better than manually adjusting the settings in Lightroom and it makes the images really noisy for me. These guides are a few years old now and don't really work well for me: I know a lot of people recommend the Iridient X-Transformer tool/plug-in, really generic adjustment settings in some blog and forums postings, or exporting to Photoshop to sharpen there.
