Embedded Image Preview or Added Contrast in ACR


Recommended Posts

Hi All, 

I'm opening my .RAF files in ACR and Photoshop (also tested Lightroom) and it seems that there's contrast and desaturation being added somewhere. Once it is, I can't seem to get rid of it. 

There are two files attached;

1. The RAF Raw image preview (which I want my file to look like / start from in editing)

2. The Image Preview once I open it in ACR or Photoshop — You can see there's added contrast to the image. 

Any thoughts or ideas on why this is happening and how to stop ACR / Bridge or PS adding unwanted contrast.

Compared to the JPEG?  If so, that's normal. I get that across my X series and G series Fuji's, and past Nikons.  That's normal.

Remember the JPEG is an oven baked cookie.   If you want to see the RAW file, with the same settings as a JPEG you can do so in either LR, or Capture One by using the same profile in LR or C1 that you shot in.  Say, Provia, Astia, etc. etc.  I'm not sure if I answered your question fully as I am not sure what you are comparing the raw file out of camera to.

      If you copy the link and paste it in to your posting, you will be given the choice of having the link show up as the image (as above) or as just a link that can be clicked. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52678730517_54489efae3_k.jpg Great photo! Blue Jays are tricky to get good photos like you have, they tend to fly away as soon as the lens cap comes off 😀.
    • I own the Fuji X-T1 and X-H1. I own several Fuji lenses but I tend to use 3rd party vintage manual glass which I find quite enjoyable to use. I'm testing a photo here taken from my Flickr account that showcases the Tokina 100-300mm Zoom lens with 1.4 extender.

    • Forgot to mention another thing. Mine does not work if I plug the USB cord into a USB hub. It only works if I plug the cord into one of the USB ports on my computer itself (an iMac). This surprises me because I think there's a hub built into the computer itself, which is how the computer has multiple USB ports in the first place. I think it was somebody here that suggested I try that -- sorry I don't remember who!
    • On another forum someone suggested spraying some electrical contact cleaner into the wheel but the Fuji tech said that could risk frying the rest of the cameras electrical so I haven't tried that.
    • I have an x100VI with 1.01 firmware - did a reset already and didnt solve issue I am about to describe. Can you all see if your camera does this: Switch to C mode, step down to f16 and then press shutter half way. Does your screen go dark? I have tried playing will all settings (have had the following so quite familiar with the menus: x100, x100f, XT-2, X-Pro 2, XT-3) , only happens in C mode. If you find this can you report to Fuji @ digitalinfo@fujifilm.com. They told me they had not seen this before and that it was normal behavior because the shutter is closing, but the shutter closes in S mode as well.
