There are, after all, many additional processing steps that contribute to (or detract from) the final quality of the image. But I decided that there was not enough gain to persist with testing. I suppose if I tried many more images it might have become clearer why/when O-T was superior. But I did not see this in every image I tested. ACR) demosaicing showed me I could sometimes get noticeably better micro-contrast from O-T. Careful comparison - pixel peeping - of O-T demosaicing with LR (i.e. I tried out the Iridient O-Transformer a month or so back. If you're interested, demo versions are available for O-Transformer and Developer.ĭisclaimer: I have no interest in Iridient Digital other than as a satisfied customer. The RAW conversion is at least as good as Lightroom, without Adobe's subscription cost. The price of both is lower than DxO PhotoLab, especially if you include the cost of DxO's annual upgrades. O-Transformer (or Developer) may be appealing options for some photographers, however. So I purchased DxO PhotoLab and uninstalled Iridient Developer.

Earlier this year I tried DxO PhotoLab, which IMO does a noticeably better job on Olympus files than Iridient, particularly for noise reduction and sharpening, plus I can also recover more of the image at the edges. My primary reason for using Iridient Developer was to disable Olympus' built-in lens correction so I could recover more of the image at the edges. In my experience Iridient Developer did a good job on my Olympus files, but I didn't think it was noticeably better than what I could do in Lightroom. I am a longtime user of Iridient Developer. Lightroom and/or a pixel editor is still required with both O-Transformer and Developer, as there's no local adjustments or retouching tools in either version. It lacks many of the adjustments available in Developer, including cropping and exposure adjustments. O-Transformer batch converts ORF files to DNG, applying a choice of two demosaicing algorithms, plus optional noise reduction, sharpening, lens correction and chromatic aberration removal. I guess they've had a lot of success with X-Transformer as they've now released similar "Transformer" versions for Olympus, Canon, Nikon and Sony.

Developer is regarded as one of the best RAW converters for Fuji X-Trans files, and a while ago Iridient released a scaled down X-Transformer version limited to Fuji files for a third of the price of Developer, and which runs on both Mac and Windows (the full Developer version is Mac-only). Iridient Developer is the "full" version of the RAW converter that works for all RAW files from all cameras.

It's available for Mac and Windows for USD $30. I just noticed that Iridient Digital has released a version of their RAW converter for Olympus ORF files: Iridient O-Transformer.
