    Darktable

    in RAW conversion Fuji X-Trans Sensor

    Posted

    I'm a Linux and Darktable user as well.  I've been using Darktable for my Canon RAW files for about a year now, and have learned quite a bit about the package.  I started using Darktable for Fuji, when I got my X100T in February.  The only real issue I see is not having a white balance dropdown for Fuji RAW, like there is for Canon RAW.  I am using pmjdebruijn's launchpad PPA, but am getting only the stable releases of Darktable.  If any of you are using the unstable PPA, has the white balance dropdown been addressed?

     

    It's not a show stopper for me, I am careful about my white balance settings before a shoot, I was just wondering.

     

    I'm using the stable ubuntu version (currently 1.6.6) and I'm not sure what you mean with the white balance dropdown, but I do have the possibility to change white balance (camera, warm, etc) or choose a custom white balance by selecting a rectangle in the image. This is all using Fuji RAW files.

    How to trigger my Nikon SB-900 flashes

    Thanks for all the comments, in the end I went with the SU-4 mode on my Nikon SB-900, and putting the X-T1 flash in commander mode, worked flawlessly! 

     

    The Cactus V6 also looks like a solid recommendation, for the Yongnuo it's a bit troubling there are people for whom it doesn't work, hope we find out if it's user error or a problem with Yongnuo!

    Aftershot Pro is indeed not bad and easier to learn, when I switched they didn't have Fuji support but came out soon after.

     

    Comparing the two, darktable has more power but the UI is a bit hard to understand at first, watching youtube clips can get you up to speed really quickly though.

     

    A good one is the following intro video, the author has many others on darktable, worth checking out!

    Hi all,

     

    Darktable is a - free - Raw developer which I feel is underappreciated.

    They added Fuji support about a year ago and I've never looked back since. 

    I was using Corel Aftershot (previously Bibble Pro) and darktable is a full-fledged replacement at an unbeatable price.

     

    The learning curve might look steep but just watch a few youtube videos and it will all make sense very quickly.

    Flash subforum?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    A  flash subforum might be interesting.

    At the moment there are already a few topics to discuss such as optical slaves/triggers to use non-fuji flashes, using existing flashes, upcoming fuji flashes etc.

     

    Currently researching the best way to use my nikon sb-900s with the X-t1, hence my interest :)

     

    regards,

    Mike
