Lightroom vs Capture One vs Iridient X-Transformer vs...

[tuxx]

Hi all,

 

I am new to the forum and new to the Fuji family. Being an owner of an X-T20 and trying to find the best possible workflow quality wise, I decided to do some tests.

 

Test 1

 

I got the RAF files from this dpreview test:

 

https://drive.google.com/drive/mobile/folders/1_Y56xvg5GnKaoUkbubiRYe_G8xt_Csti

 

and I exported tif and dng files from:

 

- Lightroom Classic CC 7.1

- ‎Capture One 11.0.1

- ‎Iridient X-Transformer v 1

 

Trying to focus on the demosaicing part of post processing, I disabled sharpening, noise reduction and lens corrections. Everything else is in default settings and with default color profiles.

 

You will find the test files for ISO 200/800/1600/3200/6400/12800 in the link below:

and some information about the settings used:

Test 2

 

I got the same file but only for ISO200/6400 and I applied various IXT recipes, famous in Fuji user community:

For more details about the recipes:

At this stage I don't want to bias you with my findings and this is the reason I will not express any opinion yet.

 

I hope that you will find both of the tests useful.

 

Regards,

 

Mike

My link with the original raw files was wrong. The correct one is the following:

 

https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/image-comparison?attr18=lowlight&attr13_0=fujifilm_xt20&attr13_1=fujifilm_xa3&attr13_2=fujifilm_xt10&attr13_3=fujifilm_xa2&attr15_0=raw&attr15_1=raw&attr15_2=raw&attr15_3=raw&attr16_0=200&attr16_1=200&attr16_2=200&attr16_3=200&normalization=full&widget=1&x=0.2904523245011226&y=-0.6235835920841285

The files were removed due to the lack of interest.
