Iridient n transformer3/15/2023 So it appears that DXO has some kind of a lookup table that specifically excludes Fujifilm X-Trans files. I’ve tested this with several different X-Trans file formats. But actually, PL4 does accept those files – as long as they are tagged with another camera brand’s information during Iridient’s conversion. What I don’t understand is why PL4 can’t handle a DNG file created by 3rd party DNG converter – such as those from Iridient X-Transformer. (I believe the reason is that the level of effort required to build parallel code to allow the processing of non-Bayer files is uneconomical – based on potential sales.) I totally “get” DXO’s position that they will never, never, never allow PL to process native X-Trans RAW files. I do most of my digital photography with Fujifilm X-Trans cameras. You don’t get the most advanced PL features, but I still find the software to be very good, though a different look and feel than PhotoShop (which has a relationship with some of the processes used in pre-press workflows).ġ. I have to use a different camera brand/model to save in the metadata to get those DNGs past PL’s filters (PL does not accept linear DNG files that are tagged with some camera brand information). I use PL 4 and like it a lot, but I convert my RAF files with Iridient X-Transformer. To make some of the advanced PL features work for X-Trans might require DXO to build an entirely parallel set of code, for what is still a pretty small market share (though a larger percentage of Fuji X-Trans users might be Pl customers – when compared to the rest of digital photographers). I think the reason is that PL digs into the native RAW formats and they are all BAYER arrays. And since the X-Trans cameras came out, this has been a repeated theme.
