In the Iridient Developer case for best results you'd need to make the highlight recovery edits in Iridient Developer prior to exporting the TIFF to Lightroom or other image editors for further processing. With Iridient Developer (separate Mac only program) the exported TIFF will have much less highlight recovery headroom as the image will have exposure and other color processing applied. With X-Transformer final highlight recovery results will entirely depend on the final RAW processor used to edit the DNG and in most cases should basically be the same as if you were to make the identical highlight recovery edits to the RAF. Sharpening in X-Transformer can also be entirely disabled. Sharpening can alter contrast a bit, but any shifts in brightness from sharpening should be quite minimal and overall exposure should basically be unchanged from the RAF. With Iridient X-Transformer the original RAF image data is almost entirely passed through to the DNG image with no change at all to native color or exposure information.

Sounds like the OP should download a trial and test it and then report back. I have not used X-transformer to do how much that was ported over to the DNG converter. I find that Iridient Developer (Mac) does a wonderful job at highlight recovery. If it look promising, then reduce the highlight slider and see where that takes you. You might want to examine the file in Adobe Bridge (don't have to import to use it) to see what kind of head room you have. If the overexposed values are less than 256, then there might be hope.

If your exposure is 256, then nothing can be done to recover because what is recorded is white. The file that Iridient X-Transformer generates is actually a DNG. Is these things fully recoverable from the tiff file generated by the Iridient comparing to the RAW file editing in Lightroom or Capture One? What I mean is same degree of recoverability. But if the picture is a bit over-exposed or need some highlight recovery. I am using Windows, totally new to Iridient.
