I would like to get to the bottom of the issue with opening RAW files out of Lightroom into Photoshop. Sometimes I get a message saying something like "Unable to use the Camera Raw plug-in. It is not compatible with this version of Photoshop." Sometimes I get no message, and Photoshop opens but loads no image. I'm on a Mac, and I've tried v6.7, 8.8 and 9.3 of the ACR plugin in the folders under /Library/Application support/Adobe/Plug-ins/... Has anyone here had a similar experience, or know of a fix?

Hello all, RAW doesn't seem to be an available option on my XT-1 while I'm in using full manual settings ('fine' & 'normal' are the only options avail to me). Here are my camera settings: White Balance: 'Shady' (why isn't there a 'flash' setting??); ISO: L (because I'm doing studio portraiture - working with strobes); Speed: 125; Mode: 'S' (single frame). I'm sure there's something simple I am missing here. Appreciate everyone's sage advice to make me a better photographer!

Hi, New to the forum and new to Fuji! I have recently purchased an XT10 which, after only a couple of outings i am really happy with. It was (and still is) a steep learning curve after shooting Nikon for the last 15 years, but in general really happy with the XT10. One question i do have and i just cannot get my head around is working with RAW files. I am currently running Photoshop CS4 and i have downloaded the Adobe DNG converter. When i go to open a RAF file, they are all greyed out and i just cannot open them. Has anyone else experienced this or does anyone know of a workaround? Many thanks in advance, Lee

Here's a comparison test between two CFA with new Adobe method. Sorry, written in hungarian, but click to pictures bravely And a previous test: old Adobe X-Trans method vs new one.

About a year ago I sold all my Canon gear and bought an X100S. I started off shooting in both RAW and JPG, as was my custom with my Canon. I quickly discovered that the JPGs looked as good or better than the raw files, at least when viewed in Lightroom, so I turned to shooting in JPG exclusively. I never changed any of the JPG settings. Now I have acquired an X-T1 with a 18-55mm and a 14mm. I plan to use both cameras but for different situations. I started off shooting just JPG on the X-T1, as was my new habit , but I found that the images didn't seem as sharp as the ones I am getting from the X100S. I then reverted to shooting both RAW and JPG, and it seems to me that the JPGs look a bit soft (less detailed and less sharp) compared to the unedited RAW images, and softer than the JPGs that come straight out of the X100S (same film simulation on both cameras). I am using the default JPG settings on the X-T1. I want the image quality on the X-T1 to be nigh identical to the X100S, which I really like. Is there a difference in the way the two cameras convert to JPG, should I be using other settings, or does this sound like there could be something wrong with my X-T1? Does anyone have any similar experience?

One of the frustrating things at the moment with the X-T1 is the Multiple Exposure feature. Great that it has it, but you can only use 2 images, it outputs as JPEG, and there is little control of the blending. It would be a great Kaizen feature for Firmware 5 to have: 1) up to 5 or 7 images (some manufacturers do 9) 2) Output as Raw 3) Blend control No idea how you submit features for consideration, but I have tried a few tweets. What is slightly frustrating is that the X-E1 had Raw output, but the flagship model doesn't. I guess too that this isn't restricted to the X-T1 as X-E2 owners would benefit.
