The camera, lenses and software that I use are contemporary or in the case of the adapted one older. I am seriously thinking to take a break from all of this and step out the rat race. You buy a new camera with improved performance and you need a new software to extract all there is to extract from it. Part of this due to the fact that one needs updating as technology grows. I realize that being a commercial activity ( although some software is free of charge ) we are continuously bombarded with New! ”, “ Improved! ”, “ Updated!” products and that this is even more true of software as it is of hardware. I am already running the last version of the program and I find that using it in combination with the NIK ( now free) and some pixelmator gives me all I need.īickering on whether this program or the other are the best for doing what we do is not my favorite occupation. Thanks Jeremy for explaining this Aperture problem. I have PhotoNinja and will look at their results, too. Here's one post I bookmarked (and there are follow-ups): I have 140,000 files in LR already, so I'll have to use both.Īn Irish photographer and blogger, Thomas Fitzgerald, writes a lot about X-Trans post-processing in CaptureOne and shares a lot of good info. Yes, I know it's not the reasonably good digital asset manager Lightroom represents, but I'll figure out a workflow that makes sense. I will trial v9, but fully expect I'll buy it. However, threads like this make me eager to do some side-by-side comparisons of my own with my XE2 and X100T images. I had hoped to be using the software with XPro2 files but I sent that camera back to wait out the glitch-fixes and few of these companies work on the XPro-2 files yet. I bought a paperback book about this software just released by publisher RockyNook (author: Sacscha Erni). Iridient does have automatic lens correction and gives you also the possibility to choose the source : metadata (default) or LCP if available. In the past I have evaluated many different RAW converters and with Fuji RAF’s I’ll get the best results with CaptureOne, SilkyPix in second place. These test results do not say anything about the final end result one could achieve with the individual app. For instance the 16-55 f/2.8 is heavily relying on these lens corrections.įrom looking at the so called test results I also get the idea that the tests have been carried out with the default sharpness settings, not optimized per app. With Iridient omitting the lens correction functionality you can in many cases never compete on image quality, leaving in all kinds of chromatic, geometric, and vignetting distortions. Iridient does not have automatic lens corrections, something Lightroom and CaptureOne both have. I am not impressed at all with this so called test.
