(1) the approximate coverage of the full frame in the following two examples I've attached three test shots I made this afternoon to illustrate the results I get from my default import capture sharpening: If you're not using the latest rev of Lightroom, perhaps that's the reason for the artifacts you're seeing. What version of Lightroom are you using? From what I've read, here and elsewhere, Fuji reps have been helping Adobe refine the X-Trans demosaicing algorithms in LR and Camera Raw. So I don't often feel the need to sharpen the Fujifilm images aggressively. On the other hand, I've been very favorably impressed with the focus accuracy of the two Fujifilm cameras I have used-the X-E2 and the X-T1-as well as the quality of the Fuji lenses. The files from cameras with Bayer-pattern sensors seem to be more accepting of aggressive sharpening. I've not seen this, myself, although my experience has been that raw files produced by the X-Trans cameras neither require nor can tolerate much sharpening beyond the amount I automatically apply during import (i.e., the sharpening-amount slider set to 25 and the sharpening-detail slider to 100). I really don't understand what goes on under the hood during a raw conversion, but apparently the use of non-Bayer patterns such as X-Trans may require changing some entrenched post-processing habits. At least that seems to be true with respect to detail inevitably, the default settings of both programs produce differences in color and perhaps other characteristics of the respective images. With very little effort, I'm now able to perform capture sharpening with Lightroom that is essentially indistinguishable from what I was seeing with Iridient. The results of my initial tests of Bridgwood's technique are quite promising. I'd prefer to avoid the extra overhead of having Iridient produce a TIFF, however, and the other day I stumbled on an interesting article by Pete Bridgwood which suggests, among other things, that moving the LR sharpening-detail slider all the way to the right - something it had never occurred to me to try - works very well with files from the Fuji X-Trans sensor. I've been using Iridient Developer to convert raw files from my FujiFilm X-E2 for critical work until now because no matter how much I fiddled with the sliders in Lightroom, I just didn't feel I could capture as much fine detail without introducing artifacts.
