Enlarged detail of the Iridient converted file. There were no changes to color, contrast or level. This image is derived from the same Fuji RAW file but converted into a DNG file by Iridient X Transformer before being scaled as a JPG file in Lightroom.

Enlarged crop of the above Fuji RAW file. Unmodified Fuji RAW file imported into Lightroom and exported as a Jpg. The final image was derived from the Iridient converted DNG and involved nominal adjustments to color balance, color temperature, contrast and saturation that are aimed a making a more pleasing final photograph. Since it is difficult to appreciate the improved sharpness when viewed on a small scale, IвЂ™ve enlarged a portion of each image that focuses on the LED lamps and rivets on the then new Stadler railcar. Here IвЂ™ve presented a comparison between the Lightroom interpreted RAW (scaled and converted to JPG for internet presentation) and the same file converted into a DNG file using Iridient X-Transformer. This image was made at the Champery terminus of a TPC branch that extends into the Alps from Aigle. I selected a photo that I made on trip to Switzerland with photographer Denis McCabe in April 2017. The ability to improve my interpretation of Fuji RAW files using Iridient X-Transformer made me curious to re-examine some of my Fuji photos from years gone by. These adjustments required less time than the five-minute walk from River Road to the North Conway Station. Notice I minimized the wire in the sky at top right. Finally, I boosted overall image saturation to make sky seem more blue, and lowered contrast to lower the impact of the photograph. I lightened the overall exposure, while lowering highlights to make the most of the sunburst, then lightened the shadow areas to brighten up the train. First I converted the Fuji RAW file using Iridient X-Transformer, and then imported this into Adobe Lightroom. I adjusted my exposure to maximize the sun burst, which resulted in underexposure of the main subject, which is GP35 216 leading the Snow Train.ДЄfter exposure, I walked back to my office at the North Conway Station to adjust the image for final presentation. This is enhanced by filtering the sunlight through the tree branches against a clear blue sky. By using the smallest lens opening, I caused diffraction of the direct sunlight that results in the sunburst effect. Working with my FujiFilm XT1 and 16-55mm Fujinon zoom lens, I set the aperture manually to f22 (the smallest setting). Instead, I opted for a sunburst silhouette. This was before I made the adjustments as described below. This is the scaled image but otherwise unmodified from the camera RAW file. The sun was directly behind the train, and if working with conventional theory for railroad photography I might have dismiss these lighting conditions as unworkable.

Yesterday morning, I photographed Conway ScenicвЂ™s Snow Train as it crossed the River Road bridge in North Conway, NH bound for Attitash.
