I use C1 in conjunction with photo mechanics. The DAM on C1 is not as good as LR.

Yes , thanks for the honest replies. I find the idea attractive though in the short run. I think you are right though. It also takes away the pleasure of landscape photography in the long run too.

SKY REPLACEMENT

Hello, I took what I thought was a good photo of a lighthouse in the waves... and then I tried a sky replacement which I am against on principle. The problem is that the photo with the new sky looks way better ! Help !! ORIGINAL PHOTO SKY REPLACED

I had the same problem. I did a long press on the "Menu/ok" button and the yellow lock disappeared. The Q button is working again. Thanks !

I hope it has a tripod mount, my 55-200 is difficult to use for long exposures.

I’m looking for a nice (lightweight) half case too so any suggestions ? Nick

I wrote a short post on this topic. What do you think? http://nwinspeare.com/2020/10/02/vari-nd-filters-in-street-photography/

x-pro3 with XF35mmF1.4 R at f/5.6

x-pro3 + 35 f/1.4

I have used Darktable quite a lot with my Sony a7r3. There is a learning curve after years of Lightroom though. The final look is softer and more film like in my view to the ‘commercial’ raw developers but maybe that is just how I learned to use it. It is a very powerful tool with many ways to do selective editing. You can even get it to send a tif to affinity or another external editor if you download the lua scripts. I stopped using it because it won’t recognise my x-pro3... and I just got capture one at 55% off. If or when I get back to using it again, I would miss the film simulations o

Loving the x-pro3 & 35mm 1.4 combo! https://www.instagram.com/nwinspeare/

I have a problem doing long exposures with the "time" speed shutter setting. Up to 60" there is no problem but I cannot set a shutter speed to anything else than 2",4",8" and 15". I would like to go up in 30 second increments to just to my ND filter. Is there a way to do it without using Bulb mode? Thanks, Nicolas

Hello, I am thinking of acquiring a Fuji x100v as a second body to my x-pro3. I have set up the x-pro3 to my taste, including the 7 custom film settings. i can save them to my Mac through x-acquire but will I be able to transfer this file to the x100 to have the same settings? Thanks, Nicolas

Hello, I am back to fuji ! I had an x-t2 and sold it for a Sony a7r3 which is a great camera but I missed all the fun of the fuji... so I got an x-pro 3 I have set my custom settings for my favorite film simulations, from c1 to c7. I still have a lot to learn, it has moved forwards so much in a couple of years. I would like to shoot raw and then use the internal raw converter to make my jpg file using the custom settings I have saved. How do I do that? Is it even possible. It would be such a time saver. Thanks for your help, Nicolas
