Highlight recovery, colour temperature and so on all work as you would expect with the resulting DNG files. You get a lot of detail in the files and yet, you are able to keep most of the benefits of using a raw file. It’s a bit slow on my Parallels setup too, but not unusable slow. Also, as it’s a demo, it currently watermarks files, making it kind of useless for actual work at this stage. The biggest benefit of course is you get to bypass Lightroom’s occasionally problematic demosaicing algorithm when it comes to using X-Trans files, while still being able to use most of the features of Lightroom as you would with a standard raw file. Some things are a bit different but I’ve only done a little testing so far. l was expecting to lose access to the Film simulation colour profiles, but they all work fine, even Across and Classic Chrome. In particular you lose automatic rotations. Secondly, by using this method, you do loose a couple of things when you go back to Lightroom, but so far it seems to work properly.

First of all this is still beta software and the full feature set isn’t complete yet, from what I understand. It’s important to note a couple of things. Luckily, there is an easy work-around, and so, one copy of Parallels desktop later, and I was ready to test it out. I was really intrigued when I read about this, but I didn’t have a PC to try it on.
