I have written a new comparison article showing why photographers need to consider using Phocus instead of Lightroom for the best color output from the X2D.

The Phocus image is always on the left side of the comparisons. You can find the full article here:
This is a series I am working on, to show how Phocus can still provide the overall best look to all X2D images. The downside being, you have to work with Phocus, which is by far the most out of date raw conversion software on the market. Sure it’s free to download, but I would no problem paying for a version that allows the photographer to work in much more modern interface and have a program which is much more responsive.
