so Lightroom, Capture One or Adobe Camera Raw?

Lightroom is all around excellent... is it the best? don't know and don't care... it is the most convenient and good librarian and image quality is good enough.

 

I'll stop using it at some point because I refuse to do the subscription... but as for now, my paid version still works fine.

Pompo, Lightroom also incorporates ACR! Lightroom recognises X-T2 RAF files. Lightroom adds a cataloging facility, which is reasonably featured and I quite like it plus the editing tools it contains, which are comprehensive and easy to use!

 

I also am beginning to use PhotoNinja, which I can access from within Lr.

 

Apple has yet update its systems to recognise X-T2 RAF files, in fact it has only just begun to recognise X-Pro2 RAF files, so don't hold your breath on that one!

 

All editors have their proponents, it is of course a personal choice, I have shown you mine!

Lightroom works...It's not perfect, but the ability to catalog, use presets, shift into Photoshop etc makes it work for me. I dig LR mobile. I've been an Adobe user for decades. I know how to get the image that I'm looking for...and I'm not sure how I'd change systems with 4tb of images...

Yeah, I'm on LR for similar reasons as listed. When I shoot a wedding and come home with 2,000-3,000 images, I need the catalog and functionality that it offers me for culling and keeping track of images to deliver, blog, etc. But I have heard that Capture One may do a better job at maintaining the sharpness of the X-Trans sensor over other raw processing software.

The differences are so minor that mostly it doesn't matter anymore. I tried Capture One so many times, but I'm just sooooo much faster and better in Lightroom, that I can't be bothered with C1 anymore. Theoretical sharpness is great, but speed is much more important to me in my post flow...

    • 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!
    • 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.
    • 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
    • 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.
