![]() (And posting comparison images would have been nice.)įor a more competent but still limited - no portrait or low light shots - comparison, see eg (Iridient did well in this test, but no better than the free Rawtherapee and not as well as PhotoNinja - neither of which you tried.) And not only that - just for the subjects, shooting conditions and settings that you tried, which you haven't specified. It just means that you prefer it, given your tastes. And then you concluded that the app you preferred to Capture One is the best out all the apps available, most of which you didn't try? This isn't even a good reason for anyone to think that Irident is better even that Capture One. One of which is notoriously not the best. So you compared against exactly two other apps. Having said that I will go ahead and buy it to support them. I hope they can stand against the giants like Adobe. I am declaring my opinion because before I have tried this I was really curious about the results. It is sharper, cleaner and overall better than both. I have just tested Iridient Developer vs Lightroom and Capture One Pro and I must say that the result from iridient is amazing. I couldn’t help thinking to the multitudes who, at the times, debated the best camera, the best lens, the best developer and the best paper process ( which I am sure HCB and Gassman used) and secretly ( because if you said this openly they would flame you) chuckle. ![]() The pictures were, as always, stunning as images but not at all all that sharp as one would have thought or supposed. ![]() I remember many years ago when I lived in London I went to see a nice exhibition of original prints ( made by the great alchemist of the darkroom Pierre Gassman ) of the work of Henri Cartier Bresson. I understand that these matters are, of course, of the outmost importance in the long and dark winter nights spent in front of the computer screen processing pictures. Sometimes it seems to me that at some point the only macroscopic difference is the microscopig visibility of thin hairs being split in eight parts lengthwise by us debating things like this. However Iridient Developer and Capture one pro() seem to have an edge over Aperture.īu then again how far does one want to go? I too like Aperture which is one of the main reasons for me not to upgrade to El Capitan which would erase Aperture ( and doesn’t even inform you of that before you do it as it previously happened with Yosemite which is incompatible with Acrobat and erased it) but I have seen tests where there seems to be a definite advantage over even the latest version of LR. I was discussing this yesterday with a friend of mine. It can’t have been easy over the past little while, as I am all too aware of myself, so a big shout out for getting a new version out.IMO Apple Aperture (discontinued) or RAW Therapee (free) deliver even better results and are visually better than LR and the Fuji jpg regarding fine detail. It’s been a challenging time for small independent developers, and I hope people continue to support Brian and co. Sony: A7 IV, A7R IVA, A7R IIIA, ZV-E10 and ILME-FX3.Iridient Developer was also updated with new camera support including: ![]() 5 adjustment levels (up from 3) for sharpening and noise reduction adjustments, plus elimination of the “default” option that mostly caused confusion.įor more details visit the Iridient Digital website.Improved luminance and color noise reduction algorithms.New option to automatically taper sharpening strength based on image ISO.New Sharpening Masking adjustment to allow for more selective sharpening of edge and detailed areas.A new preferences dialog for the Lightroom plug-in that allows for customization of the file name suffix/prefix and sub-folder when using the plug-in.The ability to save settings presets to file.Support for X-E4, GFX 50S II, GFX 100S and X-T30 II.30-50% faster processing for most operations on the M1 family of Macs.Here’s a rundown of what’s in the new version: Luckily my fears were unnecessary, and there is now a new version (Version 2.01) which brings support for all of the recent Fujifilm cameras as well as native Apple silicon compatibility. Some users had also written to me expressing their concern. It’s been quite a while since we got an update to Iridient X-Transformer, and I was beginning to get a bit worried about the future of the software.
