FujiFilm Official RAW FILE CONVERTER by SILKYPIX


Recommended Posts

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.

    • Looking more like the next Fuji camera we see will be an X-T50 but it is still a rumor and no specs have been published.
    • Hey guys, The shutter on/off button switch may be loose on mine. After turning camera on and pressing the shutter/holding close to the area, the camera will turn off and say 'sensor cleaning'. This doesn't happen if I'm shooting via touch screen at all. Everything else is functional. Anyone else experience this before? Would love a much cheaper fix since Fuji Canada just quoted me $700 CAD to fix it, and considering everything else is functional except that part I'm not even sure why MPMB Main Board parts is being replaced😕 I got no explanation from them either.
    • As far as I know the firmware is not country specific. Are you sure that the filename has not been changed ( I am told this can happen with mac os). That's the only thing I can think of.
    • My x-t5 does not exhibit the focusing switch behaviour as you report it, so that is very strange and indicative of a fault. It does not matter whether the flash is attached or not. Once you set the camera for your studio flash, say 1/250th at f5.6, the camera, which is showing you what you will get at that exposure without the flash, will show a black screen unless the ambient light is brighter than what you would typically get indoors. That is why, as Jerry says, you have to set preview exp/wb to off. I have set a button for this.
    • I connected to FRAME.IO a while back and it works fine, but the camera wouldn't connect to the internet all of a sudden today and would get stuck on the reset screen, including initializing and even switching USB Connection mode. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?
