![]() In my hopelessly dated RAW Converter comparison, I concluded that Capture One delivered superior results. A year later when Lightroom 6 came out, I left little doubt that Capture One produces cleaner images with better detail. Honestly I’m not sure, but version 12 of Capture One does have some additional niceties that have made the switch easier, and Phase One’s commitment to Fujifilm cameras really helps. The other big change to my workflow is I’ve gone RAF-only for my personal photography. One big reason for this is Capture One’s interpretation of Fuji’s Film Simulation Modes and lens correction profiles are so good, I don’t feel the need to capture both RAF and JPEG. ![]() Unlike Lightroom, Capture One imports my RAFs with the Film Simulation Mode I captured the image with applied automatically. Have you heard about these things called presets? This gives me the best of all worlds I can make creative choices while I’m shooting, I can totally change my mind about those choices later, and I don’t have a second set of files I need to reference what I was thinking when I captured the image.Īnother big reason is exposing to the right with the ETERNA Film Simulation Mode is a fantastic way to get the most out of your exposures, but that’s another article. I never got too deep into the preset world in Lightroom. There were just too many, and many seemed dreadfully overpriced, all too similar 3 and would break or not adapt when Adobe updated their rendering engine. I feel like that market has settled down a little, and the better quality preset shops have added (or are starting to add) Capture One versions as well. It can be easy for presets to become a crutch, but they can also just as easily be a starting point for discovering your own style. #Editing fujifilm raw files with iridient developer pro.Mine does as do Lightroom and likely any other DAM in use. Your method for file management then doesn't require special thought about exporting to Iridient which is good. I have contingency plans for when it stops working I think it's still the model for others to copy and still use it. Unfortunately Apple sees the future being iOS iPhone driven and 3 years ago they discontinued Aperture. This is what Adobe tried to copy with Lightroom. These programs are sophisticated and crazy expensiveĪpple created a good (great) DAM for images called Aperture which was affordable, starting at $300 and by V3.0 down to $79. Corporations and institutions have used this type of software for years to manage anything and everything digital. There is a class of software called Digital Asset Manager. I also don't use Lightroom but as so many do I thought to mention it You can get trial of the standalone LR I believe. ![]() Basically you start at the top and work your way down the list of tools if and when you need them. There's nothing complicated about using LR at all. I process as usual to export as jpg or as tiff to PS. I don't use LR's cataloguing - I have too many old files inc scanned files. I use Iridient X Transformer first in the same way but use "Open in external software" from my browser, FastStone viewer (free) the resulting DNGs are placed in the same folder I highlight one of the DNGs to import all the files from that folder into LR. Iridient I just highlight the RAW files and drag them into iridient (apple mac) the previews load and i click on each thumbnail then I mess with exposure, fill, shadows mid's etc, WB, crop then go to the OUT tab process the image it saves as a JPEG while keeping the RAW as is. Perhaps I just don't understand how to set lightroom up from import RAW image to save it as a JPEG that I can print, email and or post to other web site for a someone to purchase. Maybe it is me but it seemed really involved to work with where iridient at least on the surface seemed easier. There are a couple of tips you might want such as how to load the presets and how to set up your DAM software (Lightroom?) if you use one. ![]() It strikes me that Iridient is a great RAW processor but perhaps not overly newbie friendly. I tend to not use them much and I suspect that's common.Īh ok, thanks, the iridient page is a bit rough around the edges to me but I will play with itĭo a search from within the page for Presets, The date of the latest presets I see is march 27 2015. Individual presets are not labeled with the film simulation names. The presets are listed as being for specific cameras but as they work with the software they'll work for whatever it processes. They're called Presets and are downloadable from the Iridientdigital page. ![]()
