I too work with my gear in a non-professional manner.

I only shoot RAW but also have incamera generated jpgs for reference and storage of an image. I see artefacts once in a blue moon, but typically perform the conversion in IxT for all RAFs I want to work with. Hence the use of IxT to convert to DNG and then import into Lr. There are so many discussions on this topic - greens/foliage can render strangely when developing AND oversharpening the RAF directly in Lr.

I use IxT and some even have it set as a plug in within Lr to process the RAF directly within the Lr interface. Both work really, really well with the DNG file. The output of an RAF file's DNG (when using settings you can customize) is then inputted into either Ps or Lr.

The PC version of software is merely a RAW converter - to DNG file format.

When going the Ps/Lr route which is what I do, check out Iridient Developer for MAC and Iridient X Transformer('IxT') for PC. Roughly 2 schools in this camp - Capture1 and all that comes with it AND Ps/Lr. Plenty of research to do on your part - or not. It is not perfect however and will no doubt benefit from future improvements and updates which are free for the course of the current year. On One seems to work for me but may not for other people. Imaging programs are, I feel, very much a personal thing. I have found that On1 has cut my processing time and I like the way it renders images and the way masking is handled, but I am still in the process of learning the program but so far I have not regretted buying it. I am as yet undecided on this matter but I have Iridient Transformer so if needed I can use that for any image which I feel might benefit.

I guess the acid test is how well On1 renders foliage and here I think it is largely a matter of avoiding excessive sharpening. If you want to print or show your image digitally, then of course you need to fine tune making use of the sliders or by applying a filter such as the dynamic contrast which works very well. Most photos can be fixed to a certain degree by one click on the Auto button in Develop mode. I am very happy with ON1 in its new reiteration and it is fairly easy to use ,I find.

The full version of Capture One is too expensive for me and I was not keen on it when I triialled it some time ago. Capture One Express is also an alternative but rather basic in its functions. I have recently moved over from ACDSee Ultimate 2018, largely because I want a program which will read compressed RAW from my XT3 and ACDSee has so far not caught up with the XT3 and seemingly has no plans to add compressed RAW. I am curious what editing solutions you are using and if there are any standouts for you.

Most of my shooting is as a hobbyist - so no intense professional work or anything like that. I don't really want to get into the multi-step processes some are doing with conversions to other formats and then into LR if I can avoid it. I currently have trials of ON1, Capture One (though it's just as expensive as LR) and the new LR (I think it's 8.1.). Before spending the $ on a new LR subscription I started looking into photo editors for Fuji and saw a lot of disappointment with the processing in LR, particularly around sharpening and the look of some textures (but maybe this has changed?). This version won't process the RAW files however. I recently switched to Fuji and previously I was using an older stand alone version of Lightroom. Hi everyone - I know this topic has been beaten to death online (which is partly why it's hard to find the most up to date info given updates to software etc.) but what photo editor(s) are you using to process the RAF files?
