The pop would only show up at night on such lenses and become unpleasant during the day due to a lack of tonal saturation and indecisive micro-contrast rendition. On the other side, some AF-S G night lenses I owned seemed to be in limbo between not corrected enough (still displaying harsh bokeh and haze near maximum aperture), too corrected or simply boring to use. Some of the best day lenses out there are manual focus and while I don't quite mind the practice, the amount of circumstances that need to align for them to be used at their optimal potential is quite higher than that of the convenience and spontaneity of a well calibrated and reliable autofocus system.

Such day lenses would also leave strong and visible purple fringing around the edges of highlights in most high contrast areas of the image, even during the day. This would impact the focus falloff drastically to a point of losing the ability of the lens to render out of focus foreground and background elements in a pleasing way.

Many day lenses would display some harsh bokeh due to strong circle outlining and would need to be closed down to soften the circles.

I was pretty happy with Lightroom, and very happy with the last update that greatly improved X-Trans support, but I have always wanted to give Iridient a try again.As I continued to shoot with my 30 or so lenses from the cover photo of this article, more and more flaws from lenses that were too far on either side of day or night kept showing up: I like to work across my multiple Apple devices using Lightroom and other products that sync my work through iCloud. I never found Iridient Developer very convenient for my workflow so I haven’t used it in a very long time. Yes, and no… I’m a Mac user for my creative work, so I could have switched to Iridient Developer years ago, but I greatly prefer Lightroom. So, does Iridient transformer beta 1 deliver? It is known for providing additional sharpness and avoiding the “worm/water color” effect that some people see when processing their RAW files in Lightroom. Iridient developer is considered by many to be key to X-Trans image quality excellence (Fujifilm X-T2, X-Pro2, X-T1, X-T10, etc….).
