I believe that this is because it all embeds the original raw file as well as the demosiaced version. Do you have lots of hard drive space?ĭNG files created by Enhance Details uses a lot more hard disk space than files created with X-Transformer. If you can’t then it pretty much rules it out. Unfortunately, because of the system requirements, some people simply can’t run Enhance Details.
So, then, should you still use X-Transformer or Enhance Details? Well, it depends on your answers to the following questions: Q1. If you don’t already use X-Transformer, then don’t worry about this post.
If you don’t know what this is all about, check out my previous coverage of “Enhance Details” in Lightroom. It’s also pretty subjective, but more on that in a minute. The answer might seem like it should be straight forward, but it’s actually a little complicated and it depends on a few factors. Lightroom appears to handle DNG format files having a “tif” extension just fine and there is no option with External Editing to use DNG or other RAW formats.Do you still need to use X-Transformer? That’s the question that I’ve been getting asked pretty regularly since Adobe launched “Enhance Details” in Lightroom and Camera Raw. The DNG image format is based upon the existing TIFF file format and DNG files share much of their core formatting and metadata with TIFF. Despite the image file extension in Lightroom being “tif” the image format will now indeed be DNG.

Once the conversion completes in Iridient X-Transformer, the image will immediately update in Lightroom to reflect the newly processed image. Do you want to process the RAF and overwrite this TIFF with the converted DNG?”Ħ – Click the “Yes” button in the Iridient X-Transformer dialog to convert the image to DNG. Again the actual option here has no impact beyond the intermediate file save time and no compression should be fastest here.ĩ – From the Preset popup menu (back at the top of the section) choose “Save Current Settings as New Preset…” and give it a sensible name like “X-Transformer”.ġ0 – Click the “OK” button to save and close the Preferences dialog.Īt this point you should see something like this.Ĥ – Choose “Edit In -> X-Transformer” from the Photo menu or the image contextual menu (shown by secondary clicking image).ĥ – Once Lightroom completes its own processing and has sent the intermediate TIFF file over to Iridient X-Transformer, you should see a dialog that says, “An associated RAF was found for this TIFF image. Simply leave as is.Ĩ – In the Compression popup menu choose “None”. Choose 8 bits to speed file save time.ħ – The Resolution setting does not matter at all. No need to worry about the actual bit depth here as the intermediate file will simply be overwritten. My guess is you won’t notice a notable difference in speed regardless of option selected here.Ħ – In the Bit Depth popup menu select “8 bits/component”. Lightroom internally is based on a color space similar to “ProPhoto RGB” so perhaps that option may require a bit less processing time on export, but I have not investigated whether this has any notable impact at all.

No need to worrry about sRGB not covering the full RAW color range as the color space choice here will have no impact on the converted DNG image produced by X-Transformer. The program will typically be located in the folder at “C:\Program Files\Iridient Digital\Iridient X-Transformer”.Ĥ – In the File Format popup menu select “TIFF”.ĥ – The Color Space popup menu option does not matter. Here are the steps in Lightroom to setup “External Editing”:ġ – Choose “Preferences…” from the Edit menu (or key combo Ctrl+comma).Ģ – In the Preferences dialog select the “External Editing” tab pane.ģ – In the “Additional External Editor” section click the “Choose” button to the right of the Application text and select “Iridient X-Transformer.exe”.
