Thread: Favor requested from Fuji X-Pro 1 and X-E1 users

Hi Amin

I've sent two files. They are not keepers, but have some areas of detail that might be useful.

I'm looking forward to your results, so thanks for doing this.

In my experience to date I have not had any significant issues with LR and these files. I have seen some 'smearing' or 'watercolour', but it is very rare, and inconsistent in occurrence. When it does appear for me, it is in dense foliage, but even then it is not always present. I have to go to 100% or more to see anything significant. The most common result is very detailed, clean images, which hold up very well against FF cameras I use through work. I have been looking at other tests, and there clearly is a difference, but I am not yet sure it is significant enough to add more software. On prints up to 17x22 I have no complaints when compared to other cameras, or, more importantly, my desired results. On the other hand, I have not been shooting much landscape.

The real downside of Capture One for me is the cost. That $300 would be nice set against a trip, or some other gear. From time to time there are specials. But if Adobe does not step up (I am guessing they will), and there is enough difference I might go for it. I would use C1 for basic conversion and output to TIFF for LR. I like LR's editing tools and cataloguing.

If you need a specific type of shot, I would be happy to help.

I uploaded two:

Thanks, Stephen and tdp. I'll check them out soon. I don't have a specific type of file in mind - really want to look at a variety of files and see which ones show a difference between the converters and in which way(s). If anyone wants to send me the in-cam JPEG taken simultaneously with the RAW, that may be an interesting comparison as well. Thanks again!

jpegs sent. They are to STD settings, with no tweaks from me in-camera, or after.

Amin if you need any additional files and you see any my my X-E1 flickr set you want, just let me know: Fujifilm X-E1 - a set on Flickr

A few are photos of the X-E1, and a few were shot jpgs, but most started off life as RAF files.
