I was really intrigued when I read about this, but I didn’t have a PC to try it on. ![]() Luckily, there is an easy work-around, and so, one copy of Parallels desktop later, and I was ready to test it out. It’s important to note a couple of things. First of all this is still beta software and the full feature set isn’t complete yet, from what I understand. Secondly, by using this method, you do loose a couple of things when you go back to Lightroom, but so far it seems to work properly. In particular you lose automatic rotations. l was expecting to lose access to the Film simulation colour profiles, but they all work fine, even Across and Classic Chrome. Some things are a bit different but I’ve only done a little testing so far. The biggest benefit of course is you get to bypass Lightroom’s occasionally problematic demosaicing algorithm when it comes to using X-Trans files, while still being able to use most of the features of Lightroom as you would with a standard raw file. Also, as it’s a demo, it currently watermarks files, making it kind of useless for actual work at this stage. It’s a bit slow on my Parallels setup too, but not unusable slow. You get a lot of detail in the files and yet, you are able to keep most of the benefits of using a raw file. Highlight recovery, colour temperature and so on all work as you would expect with the resulting DNG files. The only thing that didn’t work was that the auto rotation of files wasn’t properly detected, but other than that everything was fine. I think the resulting images are a little different than exact straight conversions, but either way I’m really impressed with the limited testing that I’ve done so far.

I wish I was able to try it without the watermark, or on a Mac, but all in good time I guess.įor now here are a few examples. NR and sharpening can vary from image to image and especially with ISO, but that’s the case without X-Transformer too. ![]() I batch processed them on windows, then brought them into Lightroom for processing.
