As a former Aperture user, I know the "pain" of discontinuation.....sort of like the time dad ran off with Miss Perkins, your 1st grade teacher!!LOL

Am I the only one who is thinking that there are too many choices for RAW conversions and image editing. Recently ON1 RAW, Luminar, Affinity Photo, Iridient Developer, and Updated Capture One 10 are just a few of the applications to announce new products. Each application can be used to arrive at similar final images... sort of. Each application has advocates who proclaim that converted x-trans files look great and vice versa. Each application requires a different workflow, with many passing through LR. Each application has a series of sliders that may have different names, but can be used similarly from application to application eg Curves. Since there are different "styles" of photographers, I am sure that there are many opinions on the best applications or combination of applications for every photographer. I have currently been testing the ON1 RAW pre-release and Luminar as an amateur photographer. Before I have more invested in software than hardware, what are the Fuji shooters using or changing toward and why?

Hopefully, there are less dumb people with an x Pro 2 than me! Out today to gather images in the first spring day. Bring camera to my eye, very dark view. Switch to OVF, is not dark but all information is gone from view. LED screen is black. Because of silent shutter, pushing shutter does not show anything. Processing light blinking. Start pushing buttons randomly. Change three batteries. Still the same. Cursed Fuji and planned my revenge. As I came into my home, I remembered to remove my very polarized sunglasses. Yes you guessed it. The polarizing glasses should not be used with the xP2. LOL
