A New way to edit FUJI RAW files

I've been using a new way to edit Fuji raw files and thought I would share this with you today. I have made several videos in the past regarding Fuji raw files, but Adobe has made a number of changes to their software over the past 12 months which have brought some significant improvements for us Fuji users. In this video, I will look at my past methods and compare them with this new method for bringing out the most detail from a RAF file.

Ian for your reassurance - viewing the video this morning - was so much better - slider descriptions in the develop module are legible as well the photo comparisons. Very happy with your tips. Thankyou Cheerz.

Thanks for these methods! Very useful for a great Fuji workflow!

[AndyBeckTeesdale]

Hi Ian, thanks for this. I was wondering if you have tried the Irident X-transformer plugin for LR. If you have, is it worth it? In the past I have used LR and PS to edit Nikon files and obviously Fuji is going to be a different ball game.

I don’t normally watch these kind of videos but this was very helpful for Fuji

Thank you for the video Ian, very informative and well presented as usual. I liked the DNG conversion method and will be taking this route when I finally get the opportunity to finally use my newly acquired X-T2 out in the field whenever that will be. In the mean time stay safe. Thanks again.

Thanks for the video, very good and I have now revisted the enhanced details that I looked at when it came out and to me seemed overly strong. I now find that this is perfectly decent at getting rid of work effects in distant foliage. I have no need now to get Capture One. Saved me some bucks, thank you.
Can I just make sure... does it matter what sharpening settings are initially applied before you go to the enhanced details button?

Super good and educational video especially for newbies like me - great help as I’m coming from Nikon and I didn’t know what to do against those wormy artifacts

[Azonello]

Thanks a lot for clear and detailed explanations. Really helps to understand how to fight worms!)

I love the texture slider too. Best LR upgrade for ages. Iridient X DNG then LR sharpening plus texture works for me. I find best results with no detail sharpening at all, as that's where the worms start to come in when you apply it in my experience.

[Carmerafe]

Been using capture one every since! It is very good!

Thanks for this Ian, interesting to see the side by side comparisons. I tend to use the 100% details approach, mainly because both other approaches mean more big files. Like you I quite like the texture slider, used sparingly and sometimes alongside a little negative clarity. I'd be interested in how your image came out with texture applied to the RAF, rather than the DNG - would help show how much of the improvement was down to 'enhanced details' and how much was the 'texture'. I'll have a play with one of mine, but interested to hear your views

Love the tips...especially the .dng conversion! Keep the Fuji tips coming! Being a Fuji newbie, coming from Nikon, the tips are very helpful. Thx a lot Ian!

Have you tried luminar or capture one, or Iridient with Fujifilm RAF files?

[graham_T]

Thanks Ian ...very good . One query . I have always been told to take out noise before doing any sharpening so that I do not sharpen noise . Do you advocate taking out noise first please ?

[erankrinsky]

Thanks lan for the video it was very helpful. I am new for the lr sistem and i saw you at the beginning us a Fuji film simulation..from were did you get them? Is it come with lightroom?

[dougdavies]

I found texture slider very handy in brush mode Ian and found you tips for my fuji files excellent thank you

[mrmaxwell]

Hi Ian, thanks for this informative post. Two questions... is it your normal workflow to choose the film simulation as a first step? Also I see you don’t convert to DNG but stick with the RAF file. Is there a disadvantage to converting to DNG? Thanks in advance for your reply.

[paulasimson]

This was a really useful and helpful video, thanks!

[DSFd]

finally I can switch to X-trans with no issues! :) Ian, did you look at sensors comparison on petapixel (X-Trans vs Bayer), any thoughts about it?

[canuckdon]

Thanks, Ian. I like using LR, so found your tips on sharpening very helpful.
