I'm still using Lightroom 5 (5.7.1) and just picked up a new X-E2S. LR5 doesn't like the .raf files from the X-E2S, so I'm looking at how to use them. I've read about a few options, including Silkypix from Fuji, Iridient Developer and upgrading to LR6, which I understand works with the X-E2S.

 

Is there consensus about which way to go? Is there anything I should really try to avoid? I'd like to get the best quality I can from my images, and I'd also like to have a nice workflow (i.e. not too time consuming). Much of what I've read is from a year or two ago, so not necessarily relevant anymore.

 

Thanks.

I have the same problem with Photoshop CS6 not supporting the RAF files from my X-E2S. As a work-around I've tried converting the RAF files to DNG files, opened them in Silkypix, Iridient and Affinity Photo, and opened them in my iMac's Preview viewer and saved them as TIFF files. I've only had my X-E2S a month, so don't have extensive experience working with RAF files, but so far all five methods have produced excellent prints. I really can't see any significant differences between them. Since doing a batch conversion to DNG is the easiest, I'll probably continue with that while I get more up-to-speed with Silkypix, since that's the software included with Fuji cameras.

    • Looking more like the next Fuji camera we see will be an X-T50 but it is still a rumor and no specs have been published.
    • Hey guys, The shutter on/off button switch may be loose on mine. After turning camera on and pressing the shutter/holding close to the area, the camera will turn off and say 'sensor cleaning'. This doesn't happen if I'm shooting via touch screen at all. Everything else is functional. Anyone else experience this before? Would love a much cheaper fix since Fuji Canada just quoted me $700 CAD to fix it, and considering everything else is functional except that part I'm not even sure why MPMB Main Board parts is being replaced😕 I got no explanation from them either.
    • As far as I know the firmware is not country specific. Are you sure that the filename has not been changed ( I am told this can happen with mac os). That's the only thing I can think of.
    • My x-t5 does not exhibit the focusing switch behaviour as you report it, so that is very strange and indicative of a fault. It does not matter whether the flash is attached or not. Once you set the camera for your studio flash, say 1/250th at f5.6, the camera, which is showing you what you will get at that exposure without the flash, will show a black screen unless the ambient light is brighter than what you would typically get indoors. That is why, as Jerry says, you have to set preview exp/wb to off. I have set a button for this.
    • I connected to FRAME.IO a while back and it works fine, but the camera wouldn't connect to the internet all of a sudden today and would get stuck on the reset screen, including initializing and even switching USB Connection mode. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?
