The actual RAW processing is going to be made by the in-camera processor of the connected camera via the UI of the installed Fujifilm X RAW Studio software, not the CPU in the computer. So RAW shooters using other manufacturer’s cameras are not going to be able to use this software. Yes, ain't this special. You're on the way home from a journey and got files from your camera on a flashcard in your wallet and then the camera itself gets snatch from your neck at the airport Then you have to get an another one to access the files... How are you supposed to handle files in storage generated by obsolete cameras? Methinks you are trying too hard to make something out of this particular software. It is just an extra for Fujifilm X-Trans shooters. The thing is that these features seem to be linked to the specific camera model. Once the camera access is gone the feature is too... So? The software is free, the RAW files remain as they always were. It is just that some of what Fujifilm offers via in-camera processing and RAW conversion cannot be replicated by Adobe, or any of the third party software. The same could be said for some of the features of the Nikon RAW processing software. Iridient claims to have overcome the looked coding in the RAFs that has not been made available for Adobe. It's a free open beta. Have you tried it? http://www.iridientdigital.com/products/xtransformer.html Note that Iridient has Developer and XTransformer, and all XTransformer does is convert X-Trans RAF files to DNG which can then be imported into Lightroom. Doing that negates much of the Fujifilm character. I have tried both, and I am not that happy with them. They have addressed the sharpening issue, but it is such a kludge when thrown into the workflow. Only Lightroom has the Fujifilm emulations, but they are still done better in-camera. For now I prefer initial work in Lightroom, including taking the LR sharpening slider to zero, and then going to either Exposure X2, On1 Photo RAW, or Luminar which I have installed as Adobe plugins, to finish. I will see what Fujifilm have done with the new software, and firmware update in November. If it is disappointing, I will just continue with my old workflow. -- Regards, Savageduck |
