Recently, I was very excited to learn the developers of Iridient have released a new program called Iridient X-Transformer which is currently in beta and for Windows only, but there will be a Mac version in very soon according to the developer. Then I quickly realized that I could not get the same colors and contrast that I was used to in Lightroom, I conceded defeat and went back to Lightroom, and did additional sharpening in Photoshop in the meantime.

I finally decided to borrow my girlfriends Mac and play around with Iridient, I was immediately impressed with the incredible detail in the files with no worms, it seemed glorious, and I thought about buying a Macbook. The most common raw processor recommended for X-Trans files was the Iridient Developer, the only problem with this is that it was limited to Mac, and I am on Windows. After deciding that Adobe was to blame, I went on the hunt for a raw processor that could handle X-Trans files properly. To put it bluntly, Adobe sucks at sharpening X-Trans files. The results with these settings are not great, but it is the best I could muster out of Lightroom with the limits on the Detail slider. I was surprised to see that I had to change the detail from 100 to 5, but this adjustment was where the worms were coming from, any amount over this instantly creates a nasty mess. After hours of testing, I finally settled on the following settings: Amount: 60, Radius: 1.0, Detail: 5

With the X-Trans III sensor (X-T2 and X-Pro2) a Detail setting of 100 produces massive amounts of worms and artifacts when zoomed in farther than 100%.

Previously with the X-Trans II sensor (X-T1, X-E2, etc.), it was common to use a small radius of 0.5 and a high detail of 100 which produced relatively good results. Once I identified this problem, I went on the hunt for the optimal Lightroom settings to get a clean raw file. The ‘worm’ problem is a common one with Fuji raw files processed in Lightroom or Camera Raw Adobe has failed to fine tune their raw processor to work with X-Trans files properly due to the different sensor array than most cameras, which have the Bayer array. I failed to adequately examine the files at more than 100% zoom, which at this zoom level the files looked fantastic, at 300% it was a different story. In my review of the Fujifilm X-T2 I remarked that the files were extremely sharp, while commenters pointed out that if you zoom in closely, there were worm looking artifacts and blotchy areas, especially in foliage. I will be writing a post about how I sharpen my X-Trans files now soon, so please subscribe to be notified. I did not like the results of Iridient after using it for some time. I went back to Lightroom and now only use a small amount of sharpening in Lightroom and finish it off with different sharpening in Photoshop. I didn’t like the way it processed the tonality of the images and I didn’t like the workflow.

It can’t have been easy over the past little while, as I am all too aware of myself, so a big shout out for getting a new version out.UPDATE: I have dabbled with many options since I wrote this, I moved to Capture One Pro for a time which produces incredibly sharp results. It’s been a challenging time for small independent developers, and I hope people continue to support Brian and co. Sony: A7 IV, A7R IVA, A7R IIIA, ZV-E10 and ILME-FX3.Iridient Developer was also updated with new camera support including:

Improved luminance and color noise reduction algorithms.

New option to automatically taper sharpening strength based on image ISO.

New Sharpening Masking adjustment to allow for more selective sharpening of edge and detailed areas.

A new preferences dialog for the Lightroom plug-in that allows for customization of the file name suffix/prefix and sub-folder when using the plug-in.

The ability to save settings presets to file.

Here’s a rundown of what’s in the new version:

Luckily my fears were unnecessary, and there is now a new version (Version 2.01) which brings support for all of the recent Fujifilm cameras as well as native Apple silicon compatibility. Some users had also written to me expressing their concern.

It’s been quite a while since we got an update to Iridient X-Transformer, and I was beginning to get a bit worried about the future of the software.
