X-Transformer seems to be very well multithreaded, so if you have a multicore or multi- processor computer, it will use all available CPU resources.

As soon as you add images to it, it will start processing, so be sure to change your settings first. You should set your settings before you do anything else, and then add your images to the software. Here are some more tips for using X-Transformer, in no particular order Apply Settings First Lens Correction Options: Check All Three.Lens Correction:Include as DNG metadata.RAW Process: Smoother (I find this works best if you’re applying sharpening - otherwise the images appear over-sharpened).Here are the settings that I use in Iridient t X-Transformer By applying a small amount of sharpening during the conversion process, you can keep your settings fairly low in Lightroom, and in most cases, the defaults will work. In my experience, the third option is the best. A third option is to do a low level of sharpening and noise reduction in the software, and then do another level in Lightroom. Alternatively, you can set sharpening and noise reduction parameters in X-Transformer, and turn them off in Lightroom. You can do no processing during the conversion, and then do all the sharpening and so on in Lightroom. Approaches to useīecause of the variety of options and settings, there are many different ways that you can approach using Iridient X-Transformer. You can also choose to add lens correction, or just embed the data in the DNG file and let Lightroom handle the process. You can decide just to demosaic the files or, apply various degrees of sharpening and noise reduction. The software lets you set lots of settings to apply during the decoding process. It effectively lets you use Iridient’s decoding engine in Lightroom. This way, when you import the resulting files into Lightroom, you’re bypassing the Lightroom raw decoding process, but you are still able to use the files as if they were raw files. This process converts the RAW data to RGB data but retains the advantages of using a raw file, such as highlight recovery and so on. The software converts Fuji X-Trans files to DNG from the native RAF, and during the process demosaics the images using Irident’s own engine. If you haven’t used it before, or come across it, Iridient X-Transformer is a new piece of software (currently still in beta) from the makers of Iridient Developer. However, if you’re looking for somewhere to start, then have a look, try the recommendations, and judge for yourself. As always, I based these on my preferences, and so, you may prefer a different approach. In this post, I’ll outline the settings that I’m now using and some other tips for using the software. After lots of testing and trying various combinations, I’ve come up with what I believe is the best approach to take if you prefer natural looking images. Any thought welcome.Now that Iridient X-Transformer has been out on the Mac for a little while I’ve had a chance to play around with it for a bit. It was certainly good for LR, but for C1 I've no definite idea about necessity. I would like to hear opinions if Iridient transformer is still necessary when using C1. I haven't seen the Iridium settings tools being outrageous better, I use iridium for the core business only to interpret the Xtrans data. It is all bloody time consuming enough working in LR or C1 so that I really don't need another page of Iridium settings to deal with, so I keep the iridium settings fixed as lean as possible. So I don't use it to play with it's settings for varying pictures, I've found my general preferred Iridium settings and done with it. You ain't got a preview when you play with Iridient settings, it's so cumbersome to fool around with it, there is no flow in working with it. So far if I want smoother I'll use post processing for that. Please share a clue if you have one, thanks. MORE DETAILED did not showed me pixel peeping problems in various shots, to be honest I have no idea why SMOOTHER exist. So I only had to bother about Iridient MORE DETAILED or SMOOTHER. Therefore I choose to have only 1 setting in Iridient that seems to work for all, and leave the rest of tasks to LR or C1 or PS. If you start to jockey around with setting in Iridient differently for different kind of pictures, are you really going to keep track of what you do in iridient compared to what you did in LR or C1 or PS? Sometimes I feel like it did nothing at all? Iridient could do a better job in finding/treating CA. For all purposes I have only 1 setting no matter what program follows.:
