Thomas Fitzgerald is now recommending Capture One Pro as the absolute best. Iridient Developer is not as fully featured and hasn't had any significant updates in quite some time, so you're better off using it in connection with Lightroom."

The Best Way to Process Fuji Raw Files in 2020 I use X-Transformer but not LR or any Adobe products.

It takes the core processing engine from Iridient Developer and uses it to basically pre-process your RAW files to convert them into DNGs. " X-Transformer is actually really clever in what it does. So in a nutshell, Iridient Developer is a complete editing solution, while X-Transformer is designed to work as a companion to other software such as Lightroom" Doing this preserves a degree of editability of the RAW file, but allows you to use Iridient’s conversion engine to handle the demosaicing and should you choose, sharpening and noise reduction.
