A bit disappointing. Never mind, download X Raw Studio and see what it will do. I have my files for processing on a NAS drive so that I can easily access them from PC or Mac.

Too many software developers seem not to live in the real world. I don't really want to do much PP, maybe just a bit on the occasional (and rare) really good shot. Can't justify PS or LR costs or learning curve. At least Affinity was relatively cheap. /rant The idea of X RAW Studio is to give you the ability to process RAF files you have saved to your computer, using the in-camera CPU . https://fujifilm-x.com/global/stories/fujifilm-x-raw-studio-features-users-guide/ I realise that *now*, but the interface when you open it not tethered *looks* as though you have at least some basic features. Only you don't. My other suggestion is download the free Capture One 12 Pro for Fujifilm. It does a pretty good job. Only 30 day free trial, then similar price to the big boys by the look of it. I realise that there is an overhead to decoding a raw file especially if it is tweaked to add features in a new version, but given that Fuji are not making money from software I'd expect the encoding to be straightforward, and presumably they provide the spec to Adobe, etc. I guess I will just have to wait for Affinity to catch up. It seems to be a lot of fiddling around to use x-raw-studio. My normal "flow" would be to download all files, to review JPEGs and select a few for tweaking and put them in a special temporary folder. I suppose I'm just going to have to wipe the card after downloading and make that my "special" folder. Here you go. Capture One Express Fujifilm is free. Just scroll down the page. https://www.phaseone.com/en/Capture-One/Capture-One-Fujifilm.aspx Thanks, I had not spotted that. They don't make it easy, though. I couldn't see how to just download the free version, I've been forced to register and download the Pro Fuji one for a 30 day trial. Watch this space for progress. Initial thoughts are that it is not terribly intuitive (but I am used to steep learning curves for audio, video, and some photo editing). I'm being unfair, I had another go and managed to download the free "Express" version for Fuji. And managed to do some basic colour / contrast / saturation adjustments. Nothing I want to post a link to yet, though! |

Nothing I want to post a link to yet, though! They have a pretty good set of tutorials, and you can get some good results. Also if you haven't found their version of the Fuji analog film sims, they are hidden under custom curves. Personally my head is still locked into a Lightroom CCC/Photoshop CC workflow, but there are some things which Capture One does seem to do better, sharpening for example. -- Regards, Savageduck |

I have not tried it. -- PeterN |

The important part is it's availability to those who might want to use it. you're not fooling anyone. you certainly did not know what it was called because you initially claimed the app was called reddit. you only posted the link when i said it can't be named that, and you still refuse to acknowledge that you got it completely wrong. |
