Fujifilm X-T2 Processing challenge
« on: February 04, 2017, 17:04:50 »
This is a shot taken with the X-T2 and 90/2 at f/4. With so many RAW converters out there I thought it might be fun to see how your converter of choice does. It is a challenging file as the houses in the far distance are tricky to get details out of.
Here's a link to the file in my Dropbox:

Please post 100% crops as well.

Quick pass - Irident Developer Windows Beta - Lightroom, minor sharpening and clarity with brush on the far shore.  Irident sharpening low, LR sharpening 5, Adobe Standard Profile



Cropped



Obviously further processing will enhance the far shore

Here it is ran through both Lightroom and Capture One 10. I went through each one pushing and pulling until I arrived here, a bit moodier, not trying to match one version to the other except for overall brightness. While I did adjust individual colors hue, saturation, and lightness a little bit, I suspect the main difference in color interpretation between the two was in LR I raised Vibrance and lowered Saturation and in CO there is no Vibrance so I only desaturated.

(You may want to view the 100% crops in a new tab at full size)

1 - Lightroom
2 - Capture One
3 - Lightroom 100%
4 - Capture One 100%

My attempt, developed in Iridient. Please note this is just a RAW edit starting point, I would probably do more to this image in another program.

I used the Fujifilm X ProNegHi v3.3 preset,
Exp -20, Fill +10, Contrast -10, Shadows +15
Vibrance +15
Clarity +10
Iridient Reveal sharpening (0.55, 200, 4, 0); Noise reduction 3.5 (2,0,2,0,3)
Default lens corrections

Translated in CC to a 16 bit Tiff file (at neutral settings without changes), otherwise DXO - 10 can't read the file.

Template - Landscape - General
Colorrendering - Color Positive Films - Fuji Velvia

Moved to CC for crop and automatic downscaling
No extra manual sharpening done.

Amongst those results presented so far, Iridient seems to deliver the better output. Interesting. Hopefully this RAW converter will be available on other platforms (Windows, Linux) in the near future.
