I wouldn't do this for shots that really need selective sharpening like portraits, but I will when batch processing lots of vacation photos of landscape. However, I do very little to most of my images and Lightrooom and find it is ok to add low sharpening in X-Transformer as long as I just assign a color profile, crop, and adjust shadow and highlights in LR. I believe the recommendation to turn off sharpening in X-Transformer is based on the workflow best practice of sharpening at the end. Use these settings that someone here posted before. However now I use Capture One instead so no more need to convert the files since it does about as good a job as Iridient When I used X-transformer + LR I converted all the RAF's and then imported the DNG's in to LR.

You can probably still get worms if you apply too much sharpening, though.Ģ. The watercolor effect is almost non-existent with X-transformer. The whole point of using X-transformer is to get rid of the artifacts and to retain more details in your photos. E.g do you bulk convert all RAF to DNG before import or do it in LR? Do you keep or delete RAF files after conversion? For Mac users, have you automated your workflow using Automator or Services?ġ. as x-transformer Lightroom plugin users can you share workflow your best practices & suggestions.

The RAF / Iridient DNG files coming out of the X-T3 for my needs are awesome.Ģ.

I have two questions for existing x-transformer plugin users.ġ. Spoiler alert for new users: using Iridient in LR is simple and seamless. Paul Elliott's youtube video provided a simple comparison of Iridient vs Lightroom RAW conversion and how to install the plugin in lightroom. The lack of X-T3 RAW support in Lightroom at the moment led me to try Iridient X-Transformer based on the rave reviews in this forum.
