My current archive of raw files is nearing 6TB and this past year, 2016, it grew by over 2TB in large part due to the fact that C1 doesn't support compressed raw files from the X-Pro 2. His explanation was very technical and thorough. Yeah, Brian directly answered my question on the dpreview forums. Or just buy more storage, storage is cheap. Yes thats expected, Brian explains why over at the Dpreview forums. Tifs can be compressed I think but that seems a bit pointless to me! Same happens with Sony files I have worked on in the past. If you edit a RAF file in Photoshop to do smart sharpening you will end up witha tif that big. I want to shoot compressed to slow the pace of my growing raw archive but unless I can figure out why the DNGs are so large this workflow will not be a viable option for me. I was hoping to be able to shoot compressed raws and use Transformer to produce DNGs that C1 can use until C1 supports compressed raw. None of the settings I tried changing had any effect at all on the final size of the files. Is everyone else seeing that sort of size for final DNGs? In doing a bit more experimenting I noticed that Transformer is creating ~75MB DNGs from my ~26MB compressed RAFs. I believe someone said it is actually DNG data just with the tif file extension and LR still processes it fine. I believe the TIF file is basically identical to the DNG, no color or WB has been applied so it is just as flexible as the DNG.

This accomplishes that and gets the output from IT back into LR automatically. You are trying to get IT to use the original RAF. The tif was created seconds before from LR so it isn't really destructive editing. The question then is whether it is safe to delete the original RAF after importing/ converting to dng with Irident. The Irident dng files have (compared to an Iridenet created Tiff) the advantage of still being entirely flexible in terms of WB, color profile etc. The difference is probably half way between the 16MP X-Trans and the 24MP X-Trans converted by LR (which I have been using for 95% of my FUji files since 2012). Hm, I don't know yet but maybe in the future I will try to systematically process all RAF files to *.dng first, at import stage, and then edit as usual. So Irident program will overwrite the Tif? So that's destructive editing then. It will then overwrite the Tif that lightroom created so that it is already in the LR catalog. However, Iridient is smart enough to see that Tif file and find and load the DNG instead. I'm pretty sure it's down to IXT sharpening as I don't get the same when using PhotoNinja. I have to wonder if there are noise redux flags in the RAF that LR is silently respecting and Transformer not, which leads to a potentially much noiser look from Transformer because of htis. I'm wondering if this has to do with LR 'respecting' possible RAW flags dealing with NR, and Iridient not.įor instance, LR and C1 read RAFs differently when it comes to distortion, with LR applying some unseen distortion control that you can actually completely disable in C1 (and other raw programs). I guess I could load up another raw converter and look at two files set to NR=0, but I'm way too lazy for that I'm curious as to whether this is possible with noise reduction. I do too, but the problem is Fuji (along with others) still embed raw flags into their files.įor example, I have lens correction completely disabled, yet LR still reads the embedded lens profiles in the raw and applies them.without me being able to do anything about it. I know I turn NR to a minimum in the menu for the XT2, so there should be virtually no noise reduction hidden within in my RAF files. Lr CC/PS is excellent for portraits, people, street shots anyway.

Normally for very low light/high ISO shots we are not dealing with landscapes, high frequency foliage/issues but more street scenes, portraits, people and functions and there is no need to convert with IXT.

This is very powerful and as mentioned earlier in the thread, PS Smart Sharpening is quite sophisticated and can do more than Lr. My work flow is Lr CC in combo with PS and plugins. I think it is important to note that IXT is superb for about 90% of shots, but at high ISO's the work flow still need to be tested and adapted to. It's easy to lose sight of what an amazing step up this all is compared to the day when 400 ISO film was fast! Even the Lightroom version was actually still really good. In my above long post it would be easy for someone to miss an important point: the 6400 ISO image still looked amazing. At the end of the day, we now have some great tools in the tool kit for processing X-Trans files.
