Mobile Workflow with iPad/iOS - Being in the dark

Hi there!

 

I'm new to fuji and this is my first post after reading for some weeks in this forum. My brand new xt2 has arrived and is going to replace my broken pentax k5. 

 

I am very interested in mobile raw processing workflows, since iOS 10 and the newest lightroom mobile seemed to make a bis step in the right direction. 

 

I was following the tutorial of Elia Locardi on Petapixel, and I think I would be happy with this workflow (and even consider to buy an iPad pro), if it would work!

http://petapixel.com/2016/09/01/pro-photographers-raw-workflow-lightroom-mobile/

 

But there is one thing that seems not to work as shown in the tutorial. And I can't figure out why:

 

On my iPad Air 2 (and as well as on my iPhone 7) I am able to import the RAW files from the xt2 via the SD-lighting-adapter. But during the import (and in the photos app as well) iOS does not show/preview the pictures. As soon as they are imported from photos app to lightroom mobile, everything seems to works fine. But without seeing which files I am importing to the iPad the whole workflow is ridiculous. A bit to much being in the dark, at least for my taste.

 

Does anyone have a good idea why it dies works as the video suggests?

Are you recording RAW + JPEG  or just RAW?

 

Basically with Fuji is you record RAW only it saves a very small low quality JPEG in the RAW file container which is what it uses to show you a preview on the back of the camera. If you record RAW +Jpeg then when you hit playback and review on camera the camera shows you the JPEG as its better quality and will give you more information about sharpness etc.

 

My theory is that either you are capturing only RAW and the ipad needs the JPEG to provide import preiview to work as in the tutorial, or its the other way round and you are shooting RAW +Jpeg and the ipad/app combination needs the smaller RAW embedded Jpeg for its preview. I suspect its the latter option as the import is probably only looking for RAW files and its going to be more efficient with a smaller embedded JPEG. Anyway have a play with those settings ie try the opposite of what you currently have set and see if it resolves your issue.

      X-s10 Fast shutting 20/30 fps crop ES

      By mapoett · Posted

      Hello. Thankyou,now Is all more clear: I have take some time in your link. Let tell you. I has totaly forget this machine have "compress picture option" and not Only "compress lossless" anyway not change the experiment. RAW  and this last two format look like same result about Number of recording picture. Can tell all results in this: in raw you can make 17 pictures for second. Is wrong. Is about One single Press and wait buffer. Full 30/20/10/8 not change. After 17 Need Press again. You not can Press before "redgreen light recording Is on".   With preshot you can have 25  are more 7 pictures . The story change Only in jpg shot only. In jpg at 30 you have 30 picture but redgreen light off very Fast so you can shot very quicly. At 20 shot Is about start look like infinite shot. 60. So the best performance are this last One  about Speed and recording picture after camera working witout big limit. I want take a shot about Italy cyclet Just for passion. I think i Will use this last setting.  After Need check when battery not are full change and ambient temp.  Anyway my cam look like exactly specific about you link. Im Happy my cam working perfectly.

      Hello from Iowa

      I do not use Flickr, so I do not know what their BB code is. All I did was copy the second link you provided, (starting at https: and ending at  _k.jpg — leave off the [img] and [/img] tags) and pasted it into the message. After a moment, a message popped up asking if I wanted to paste it as the image or as a plain link. I did this twice, the first time I had it paste in as the image and the second time as a link. Nothing fancy or tricky.

      So do I just copy the BB code from flickr and paste it anywhere on the page like other forums or is there some other trick I need to perform to get it to post?

      X Raw Studio Doesn't Create Drive for Camera When Connected

      By JovialLich · Posted

      All software is the latest between camera and app. All settings are correct on camera. I have both lossless and uncompressed RAW files on the card in the camera. I have been up and down every reddit thread to no avail and am losing my mind… I’m doing all of the right things. It even sees my camera. It just doesn’t create the “drive” for it (see attached image screenshot).  Please Help!

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

      By grizzski · Posted

      Not sure how to delete threads, but I figured out what was wrong. In short, I was partially misunderstanding the view-mode's function. Also, the "+LCD Image Display" part requires that you have the Image Disp. setting set to anything but Off. Then it will display your last image on the LCD. If it's off, it's behavior will be exactly like the plain Eye Sensor setting.
