Some converters are definitely better than others, but it would require a small fortune, and a lot of time to acquire and test each of them in order to find out which delivers the best results.

Now that Fuji’s X-Trans sensor has been out on the market for almost 3 years, plenty of RAW converters have arrived on the scene to let Fuji shooters eke the most detail out of their sensors. 6.1 for X-Trans Best X-Trans RAW Converter Long Exposure Photography Tips Heavy Issues Mirrorless vs DSLR weight Adobe’s Fujifilm Camera Calibration Profiles Film Simulation Modes Compared Fujifilm Metering ONA Bowery vs. Extras Fuji Filter Thread Sizes Lightroom 5.7 vs.Reviews Fujifilm X-T3 Fujifilm X-H1 Fujifilm X-T2 Fujifilm X-Pro2 Fujifilm X-T1 Fujifilm X-T10 Fujifilm X70 Fujifilm X30 Fujifilm GFX 50S Preview XF 14mm F2.8 XF 16mm F1.4 WR XF 18mm F2 XF 23mm F1.4 XF 35mm F1.4 XF 35mm F2 WR XF 56mm F1.2 (APD) XF 10-24mm F4 OIS XF 16-55mm F2.8 WR XF 18-55mm F2.8-4 OIS XF 50-140mm F2.8 OIS WR MCEX-11 & MCEX-16 Extension Tubes VPB-XT2 Vertical Power Booster Grip Fuji MHG-XT Hand Grip Artisan & Artist Silk Strap LumaLabs Loop 3 Nucis Leather Straps.Lens Versus Wide Angle Primes Standard Zooms Telephoto Zooms 10-24mm F4 vs.X20 Interchangeable Lens Body Spec Comparison Fixed Lens Body Spec Comparison I wanted to keep this short because there’s so much talk around the web among Fuji users about this issue soo that’s my rant in short.Best X-Trans RAW Converter - Fuji vs.

įor windows users check out Photo Ninja (cross platform). If you are a Fuji X-series user with a Mac, I highly recommend checking out Iridient Developer -demo and try it if you haven’t already.

Better nonetheless.), Apple Aperture, Silkypix and now also a program called Photo Ninja.Īdobe has really suffered from the lack of real competition for years and because of that grown lazy in many aspects of improvements and innovation (don’t get me started on Adobe CC), but I hope this will change soon… Yes the X-Trans technology (detailed here ) is unique only to Fujifilm cameras and is a bit unorthodox… but how on earth can a one man operated company (Iridient Digital) make a much better RAW conversion algorithm than a multibillion valued company being synonymous with image editing for over 20 years? And it’s not only Iridient besting Adobe on this, apparently many Fuji users have gotten better results from Capture One (tried it, didn’t see as big a difference to LR compared to Iridient. More power to you my friend! But still… my beef with this is more in principle: You might say: “Ok Mr.Nitpicker, I shoot and post images to the web, don’t print large, and otherwise LR does the job just fine.” Great, I’m totally fine with that. But IF you print large/do commercial work especially with landscapes and/or product photography this stuff matters. Now I know there’s the argument that no one in reality pixel peeps/looks images at 100% and/or pushes their nose into a huge print while admiring it. The difference is huge between the two programs. Now again if you try to push the sharpening more it just makes it look worse.

Zoomed in 100% Lightroom conversion on the left, Iridient on the right. Now this is not an article or a review of sorts on technical differences between the programs and the unique “X-Trans” sensor of Fuji without it’s AA-filter and Bayer-less filter array (there’s a lot of articles and reviews about these already on the web) but here’s a couple examples of the difference in detail between LR 5 and Iridient Developer from the Fuji X-Trans sensor just for arguments sake (which we’ll come to later). I’ve always shot raw when possible and been adamant about having always the uncompressed digital “negative”, so this was an important issue for me. The thing that bothered me though was the rendering that Adobe Lightroom 4 (at the time, now version 5) gave me with it’s raw-files (or RAF in the case of Fuji).

It was an immediate love affair that came from the great ergonomics (I had no prior vintage manual slr experience that it now reminds me of), great image quality (at least in theory, more on that later) and being compact and light weight. I bought my Fuji X-E1 mirrorless camera with a 18-55 kit lens around a year ago while traveling abroad.

It’s not perfect, but nothing was so compellingly off or bad about the software that would’ve made me consider switching to something else (Apple Aperture, Capture One etc.) …until now… I’ve been using Lightroom since version 1.0 and been very satisfied with it.
