Hey,

we're working pros and are fed up with Capture One. V 21 is such a catastrophe (DAM is has become even worse). We're at the point where C1 destroys old sessions consequently and edits are lost in a vast number. We think the are no longer capable of maintaining their own source code bc. bugs are inherited over - at least 5 generations - lots of major releases.

LR is - don't bother us with mentioning this one - absolutely no alternative for x-trans as you should know. And no - Iridient is no alternative.

Any ideas from fellow pros?

Photomechanic Plus is our DAM.

TIA

Best

Chris

Long time LR 6.14 user. Vowed to never subscribe. Until I got the Fujix100V. While C1 does a great job on the Fuji files, so does LR CC. With a bunch of newer Sony cameras,m Canon R files  and the Fuji, LR is the place where they come all together. It was okay to convert to DNG for some of the newer models. But not having to do that is even better. I can edit in LR a lot quicker and with more precision than in C1 or any other editor. Fuji Film profiles are good - but not that important to me, anyway. If I want to use a profile, I convert in camera with Fuji's software. In particular for professional use where time is money, I think LR is still the best option.

have anyone of you tried "luminar" it works well with x-trans fujifilm files . i use it ,i also use c1 and adobe softwares ,there's a few features missing in luminar ,including gpu support as of now ,but i'm sure that will be available in time . so if you haven't tried it ,give it a try .it's my personal opinion ,also because it's very simple to use too .

We're long-time users of C1 in conjunction with Photo Mechanic (Plus). Upgraded to C1 v21 and no problems at all except for the deactivate/activate step (why was that needed at all?). Mostly using Sessions (and tethered) but for personal work also Catalogues. Last time I checked our combined 'database' was over 1.5 mio images. My personal catalogues are roughly 30k images each (usually 2 years per catalogue). No problems. We're working with macbooks and imacs in conjunction with Drobo NAS solutions and Enterprise Dropbox. C1 is the core of our workflow with roundtrips to Photo Mechanic and Affinity Photo or Photoshop when needed.

With Fujifilm cameras, on LR you have to "Enhance Details" and bring Sharpening down to zero to have an excellent starting point for x-trans.

      pocket wizard and XT5?

      By LBAbrams · Posted

      Has anyone successfully used pocket wizards with an XT5? I cannot get it to fire.  Do Fujis and pocket wizards get along? Thanks in advance for your wisdom on this, kind readers!

      Transfer X-T5 for PC wi fi...

      Grzegorz, Go to the Networking Setting in your camera menu (the last one at the bottom - unless you have a My Menu then that is the last one). There, go to Network Setting and choose the SSID (name) of your WiFi network, type in the password, choose "SET". If you have a functioning DHCP server on your network, the camera should get its IP address (and Subnet_Mask and Gateway). If not, you can enter these manually. It is a little tricky, there will be some zeros already here, move the cursor after the zero and use DEL to delete it and make space in the input fields for your own correct values. If you do not know what to enter, have a look at values in the network settings of your computer and use the same except for the IP address, try some fairly higher number, hopefully you hit an unused one. Usually the values would be something like IP: 192.168.1.188, Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0, Gateway IP: 192.168.1.1  or something like that, take clues from your computer. The camera and computer must be on the same network. Then in Connection Mode on the camera, choose Wireless Tethering Fixed. And half-press the shutter to exit the menu and get in shooting mode. The red LED should be blinking. If you can look at your network devices, e.g. on your router, you should see the camera there. You can see check the camera settings in the camera menu in the INFORMATION item of the Network Setting menu to see the MAC address of your camera and look for it in the list of devices on your network.  Then use the tethering in your software, e.g. in Capture One. The camera may not show immediately, take a shot and then it should show in the list of available cameras. Good luck. Report back how did you fare.  PS If you have a Windows machine, you need to have Bonjour installed and running. Macs have it.

      X-T30 II Eye Sensor + LCD Image Display viewmode not working

      By grizzski · Posted

      Hey all, I just got my first camera. The X-T30 II. It seems the Eye Sensor + LCD Image Display view-mode is doing the exact same thing as just the Eye Sensor view-mode setting. Any ideas why this is or what's supposed to be happening? Firmware Version: 2.04

      Problem with multi exposure on XT5

      By George_P · Posted

      What GordW said. You have to put the drive mode dial to "S" - Single Frame. If you have it on CL, CH, BKT or Panorama (or HDR), the Multiple Exposure option will be greyed out in the shootng menu. On my X-T5 it works in RAW + JPG and also in JPG only. When Multiple Exposure is switched on, the image quality cannot be set to RAW only. If it was set to RAW only before switching Multiple Exposure On, image quality defaults to RAW+Fine. The result is JPG. After each shot press MENU/OK and after the last one press DISP/BACK.
