Lightroom Enhanced Details for Fujifilm X-Trans Files Tested – Fuji Users Beware, Wormy Artifacts Fixed?

Last week Adobe launched the new “enhance details” feature, which, according to Adobe, will improve details in your images by up to 30%!

The feature is also supposed to demosaic Fujifilm X-Trans images better, and we have a first feedback about it here.

The testing continues, and overall will can sum it up like this:

helps against wormy artifacts
slow and processor intensive, creates new DNG files, hence do not apply to many images, but better select only important images or images you want to print big

Now let’s get into the specific reviews.

Tony Northurp – LR’s Enhance Details: Beware Fuji users!

processor intense feature
creates a DNG file with triple size of original file
in most situations with most cameras, you won’t notice any difference or only little difference
Fujifilm files are indeed less wormy and jaggy
for X-Trans files, the enhanced details feature can process colors in the images incorrectly, or in some cases improve colors.
for X-Trans, enhanced details is hit or miss
in general enhance details is better for Fujifilm files, but don’t trust it blindly and check the results

thomas fitzgerald – A Look at Lightroom’s New Enhanced Details for Fuji X-Trans Users

it resolves all the issues for X-Trans, no more smearing in fine details, no more edge artifacts and wormy artifacts
it does a better job than X-Transformer, but you should still use X-Transformer if you have an older and slower GPU
for achitecture, foliage, green it’s recommended to use “enhance details“. Less if you photograph people
