I was a Lightroom user until year 2015, switched to Capture One. I am very happy with its color reproduction, editing style.

 

Recently, I tried the RAW FILE CONVERTER EX 2.0 powered by SILKYPIX provided by FujiFilm on its web.

 

I did not complete a formal and thorough comparison, I just load a RAW file into both Capture One and Silkypix, set them both at default settings and certain profile which I think look the best, without touching anything else, eg exposure, details.

 

I am totally surprised by the image quality produced by Silkypix, a lot of micro-contrast and very punchy 3D look.

 

Though the interface is not quite intuitive as Capture One. Also it is simplified version, some important features are missing. I am going to stay on Capture One.

 

I suggest anyone to try it for once! It is free.

I was looking for an image on my laptop yesterday and opened a RAF folder. Widows 10 immediately started processing the files to icons and I walked off wishing I could find a way to turn that off. Came back after 10 minutes, possibly less, to find all rendered into thumbnails and I could run them thru silky pixels to get 4x6s, wife wanted samples, on a wireless printer (Kodak Verite) pretty damm good for a casual attempt. All the control seem to be there, just in unusual places.

Here's the TIFF created by loading the RAF into Lightroom, and then converting to DNG (TIFF) with X-Transformer from Iridient

You've got some haze and what looks like a bit of aberration going on messing with the fine detail of the roofs and buildings, so it's not going to get razor sharp, but still looks very nice. And using X-Transformer as a Lightroom plugin has been way way easier for me than trying to wrangle a whole different program for editing.

      Also, there's a setting "Shoot without a lens" that needs to be turned on for lenses with no contacts and adapted manual lenses, otherwise the camera won't respond to the shutter button when you have a manual/old/no contact lens attached.

      So, the lens isn't focusing. What is the original lens you were using? Is the camera switched to an auto-focus mode? S or C

      Blurred Screen

      When I look through the view finder it’s blurred along with the image showing on the screen. So when I take the picture it comes out blurry as well. The information is still showing clearly on both the screen and viewfinder.  I bought a cheap lens from pocket dispo and when I put that one on the camera I can see the images clearly through the viewfinder with no problem but I’m unable to take a picture.  I’m not sure but I thought the lens would click into place when attached to the camera but I’m not hearing that noise anymore. Tried to upload a picture of the camera but it’s saying the file is too large.

      HDMI issue

      By Tomasz GFX · Posted

      Hi there,  I just got a DJI video transmission system and want set it up with my GFX 100 II.  The problem is, that it doesn't work when I connect the HDMI cable to the transmitter.  The camera display goes on and off about every second and there is no video transmission.  Has anyone had the same issue?  I have checked the following: - the HDMI video resolution is set to FHD 16:9 30fps - HDMI output settings: output info display is set to OFF - HDMI output settings: HDMI rec control is set to OFF - HDMI output settings: RAW output settings set to OFF - The latest firmware is installed on both the camera and the DJI transmitter  - Both the camera and transmitter have fully charged battery  - Video transmission from another camera works [using a different cable, though A <-> B ] I have tried 2 different HDMI cables and tomorrow I'll test it with another "ultra-fast" one.  Omitting the transmitter and connecting the camera directly to the DJI High-Bright Remote Monitor works perfectly with both cables I've tried.  Have you heard about any HDMI problems with Fujifilm cameras?  Do you have any suggestions?
