G'day,
I have a Fujifilm X-T2, which is my first X-Trans camera – so this question might just reflect my lack of experience…
I took a photo of the ocean, using the standard camera settings with an compressed raw and JPEG image written to the camera's memory card. A small version of the JPEG image is shown here:
If I develop the compressed raw file into a JPEG using software outside the camera, there seem to be magenta and green colours in the white highlight areas of the waves. In comparison, the in-camera JPEG image shows just white highlights.
I've included a cropped section of my ocean photo here to show the difference:
I tried using both Silkypix DS Pro 7, Affinity Photo and Iridient Developer (all for Mac). In each case I tried to use the default/standard settings in the program. The results were similar with the colours. I wanted to try DCRaw, but it didn't seem to handle compressed-raw (RAF) files at all.
I'm not sure what software I should be using, and whether to suggest that Fujifilm should be releasing their in-camera raw-to-JPEG conversion software as stand-alone software that could be used outside of the camera.
Can anyone suggest what's going on here?
Thanks,
Warwick
