Of particular interest to Fujifilm C1P users, apart from general performance boosts and new sharpening algorithms, is, finally, auto masking for X files! :)

I have upgraded already and to be honest, it is costly upgrade in comparison to what new features / improvements are there. So what's new?

- Three step sharpening - nice. Gives more control. But I don't think it is a game changer.

- Output proofing - this one is really nice as mitigates guesswork and improves the ability to get what you really want and not what would appear on it's own.

- Camera focus tool - does not work with Fuji cameras.

- Tangent panel support - I don't think I would buy any.

- Supercharged LCC creation - does not work with Fuji cameras' files.

- Folder merging in catalogs - actually it is full ability to create catalogs, merge and move catalogs and move files between catalogs - something I was really waiting for.

- Filter by orientation - nice.

- Automask for all - for me it means "for Fuji"- very nice.

- Improved sRAW and mRAW support - I don't care.

- Apple script extended - I don't use Mac so I don't care. And probably 90% of Mac users also don't care.

- High prformance engine - well, is it really so much faster? Maybe, but only in some tasks. The database itself is still slow - filtering 25k of photos takes lots of time comparing to Lightroom.

 

So yes, I use C1P, upgraded to the newest version, I really enjoy developing Fuji RAWs, but still lots of work to be done by programmers.

    • I also use a Nikon to GFX Fringer and it works very well.  24mm f/1.8 vignettes so best used on 35mm mode.  50mm f/1.8 covers the entire frame very well with no issues and is a superb little lens. 105mm Sigma vignettes slightly but is perfectly usable. 300 f/4 likewise the 105.  I have a 70-200 f/20+.8 incoming to test so will report back but I'm expecting a little vignetting.  Even in 35mm mode the image is still 60MP and if you're prepared to manually crop and correct you can get 80-90 MP images.  I also have a C/Y to GFX adapter.  The 24mm Sigma Superwide vignettes strongly. Ditto 28-80 Zeiss Sonnar. 80-200 f/4 Sonnar is perfectly usable. All work fine as 35mm mode lenses.  I also have an M42 adapter which I tried with the Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5 with good results. 
    • Thank you. I will research it.
    • Ahh, the infamous brick wall photos… 😀 According to internet lore, if the dng converter does not properly apply the corrections, you can have it apply custom profiles that should work for you. How to do that is waaaaaay outside of this comment’s scope, but there are plenty of sites listed in the search engines that step you through the processes. Best wishes.
    • Jerry Thank you very much. That is extremely helpful. It seems that the camera and the lens have the latest firmware update, so it appears that the corrections should be applied automatically. The lens arrived this afternoon and I took some quick test shots, in which the correct lens information appeared in the EXIF files, so that sounds good. I used Adobe DNG converter to convert the Raw (RAF) files, and then opened the DNG files and saved them in PSD format. However, with a beautiful, clear, cloudless blue sky, there were no lines near the edges to check if distortion had been corrected. Another day I plan to photograph a brick wall. Thank you for your help.
    • Typically you need to make sure the lens is compatible with the camera, i.e. check the lens compatibility charts for your camera, then make sure the respective firmwares are updated so older issues are resolved. After that, each lens has a manufacturer’s profile which will be embedded into the raw file meta data for the images captured using that lens. From there, it is up to the raw conversion software to apply the lens correction to the image. Different converters do that differently, some automatically, some only if a setting is turned on. For in-camera jpegs, the on-board converter does the corrections automatically, assuming the camera recognizes the lens, it applies a generic profile otherwise. I do not know if that can be turned off or not.
