"I use Lightroom's RAW system when the material works with it, but some images – and particularly ones with a lot of green detail like foliage – call out for a better RAW development more like the JPG engine in the camera. To the rescue comes people like Iridient, Photo Ninja, and even Capture One I think is good with it now. X-Trans can deliver like no other sensor I've used BUT it's not something for the casual shooter I don't think. These cameras (except the X-A1) require a more skilled photographer to get the most out of them. Taking the time to learn how to do that is very rewarding."
I don't understand this assessment. If the software can read the RAW file, then all the parameters should be editable.. in LR, Iridient, or whatever.
I see no difference at all when I use LR or any other software/plug-in. The only wildcard was my Sigma DP2 w/Fovean sensor.. that was a totally different animal.
I looked at the greenest shot I took recently, and it was shot with legacy glass.. not coated as today's glass.. and I liked what I saw. Not too saturated, not *off* at all.
