Acros -R and RAW issue

[Razbak]

Hi folks.

I shot a sequence yesterday using a Fuji film Acros R sim on my XT4 while having a RAF/RAW shot at the same time.

Fast Raw Viewer (RV 2.0.7) sees the images as BnW in thumbnail preview yet double clicking shows it as full colour. When I open the pic in Capture One 22 I'm only getting the BnW.

Same issue when I view in PIE - Picture Information Extractor - thumbnail in BnW yet double click and we are now in colour, but never in Cap.One or Firestone Image Viewer.

Im completely confused - any ideas? I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

I only have Capture One Express but I'm guessing the principle is the same with Capture One 22 - under Style you can choose different Film Simulations (including colour simulations).

FireStone defaults to showing you the embedded image preview rather than converting raw - you can press the "A" key to make it convert and show you the original colours (this won't work if you have used compressed raw as it isn't supported).

Thank u so much Greybeard. This was exactly the information I needed.

Luckily I shot in uncompressed so Firestore and the A command was able to bring full colour so i saved that as a TIFF.

Haven't been sucessful yet with the Styles in Cap One but this is a great start. At least I now know using a BnW image in the viewfinder - to work on contrast rather than colour, works.

So thank u again. This issue really blew my mind and I wasn't sure there was a genuine fix so it goes to show u need to ask. Great stuff Greybeard.
