I will definitely check it out. I know with the CR2 (Canon) files I use one of the profiles as a starting point. Ed

Good to hear, Dan. I was looking for a familiar name in this "argument" and found yours. I am brand new to Fuji. So new that my X-PRO 2 doesn't arrive until tomorrow. I am trying to get at least slightly ahead of the curve if I can. Up to now I have shot primarily with Canon (with a 4 year period in there with Leica) and I will continue to do so. But I look forward to X-PRO 2 as a lighter weight/more compact alternative to the 5D3 and L glass. I have never had any issue with my RAW files in Lightroom be they CR2 from Canon; DNG from Leica or even whatever they were from my little Ricoh. I don't want to start having issues now with the Fuji RAW files. I confess I don't understand what goes on inside LR or PS or any other software but I do know my work flow. I process RAW files in LR and only convert to JPEG in order to post on FB or IG. Otherwise the files remain processed RAW files and I print from them. I can go up to 24" wide paper and I have had even bigger prints made for exhibits. They are almost always B&W and I have never had any issues whatsoever. I am not expecting any issues with the Fuji files and am glad to see you are not having any with the latest versions of Lightroom. Ed

Thanks jotto. Probably 99% of my photographs are black & white so one of the first things I do in Lightroom is the conversion of the RAW file to B&W. I am pretty sure I will be fine with my workflow. At this point I don't see a compelling reason to convert the Fuji RAW file (.RAF) to .DNG but I will reevaluate after processing some images from the X-PRO 2. Of course that will have to wait until the camera arrives sometime on Wednesday. Nothing like putting the cart before the horse! Ed

Thanks for the summary. Much appreciated. While I am new to Fuji, I have been shooting Canon and Leica for a number of years. I don't profess to know the inner workings of Lightroom or Photoshop but I know what works in terms of my workflow. With Canon, I import a RAW (CR2) file into Lightroom where I make all my adjustments to the CR2 file. When complete I still have a RAW file with the changes attached. At this point I only convert to JPEG in order to post the photos online. If I am going to print, and I can print up to 24" wide, I print from the modified CR2 file. So I'm not really sure this issue affects me beyond what I might want to post online and those are not big files. If I am incorrect let me know. Thanks. Ed

I am new to Fuji. Up until now, I have been shooting Canon except for a 4 year hiatus when I switched to Leica. I switched back to Canon about 2 years ago. Like I said, I am new to Fuji. How new? Well my X-Pro 2 and 35mm 2.0 won't arrive until Wednesday. Prior to and since placing the order, I have been trying to absorb as much X-Pro 2 information as possible. But one issue continues to confuse me a bit. Please forgive me for raising this apparently sore issue yet once again. But I can't seem to verify whether the Fuji Raw/Lightroom issues have now been fully resolved with Adobe. I have the latest versions of Lightroom and Photoshop both CC versions. The processing issues seem to mostly refer to LR5 and LR6 and most seem to be at least a year old if not older. So are the issues now resolved? Or do I still need to look at something like Capture 1 for example? I should add that I am using an iMac with the latest operating system. This is my first post here so please don't beat me up for raising this sore issue once again. I am just having difficulty getting closure on this one issue. Thank you. Ed
