If it's a critical photo, I'm using something other than Lightroom. But even then, Lightroom is not doing a good job.īottom line, LR isn't capable of producing the kind of results on the 24Mp x-trans sensors that C1 and Iridient Developer are. Better results can be had by setting it very low - under 15 or even under 10 and sharpening from there. I keep seeing it hinted at here and didn't realize where it came from. Most of the time, and that's really always for me, it enhances and increases wormy artifacts. I don't recommend the detail method seen in the link above. I tried moving the detail slider between 85 and 100, wormy artifacts are still present at 3:1 and the color differences still make Iridient worth using in a Fuji workflow. There's almost no difference once you do that.ĭoing that, the results are extremely different than C1 and Iridient. It's well known that LR's detail slider should be set between 85 to 100 as it changes the sharpening algorithm and gives results similar to Iridient and C1. Iridient Sharpening (v3 Detail+ X-Trans, Iridient Reveal, No sliders were moved from default) Imported RAF, sharpened using each program All of these photos have just been sharpened their respective programs. I can't believe the color/contrast differences before editing any of those sliders. Just another crop of the same photo to show the color difference. The Iridient file looks like it has already been edited, but this is just the RAW processor at work.Īt 3:1 we can see the wormy artifacts in the LR file much more so than in the Iridient file. Please note the color differences in the sky and building. Both images are similar sharpness and at 1:1 wormy artifacts aren't a big issue. These are RAF files straight out of camera and thrown into each program and sharpened. No color/contrast editing has been applied for these images. Please don't start a Fuji vs Sony flame war, this isn't the purpose of this thread. I have since left Fuji for Sony for various reasons but I figured this post might help someone. I am also really surprised at how Iridient processes the RAF file. I used to think this was only for foliage but the wormy artifacts can start affect any image. I am sure most people know by now that LR doesn't handle RAF files too well.
