X Acquire and Capture One works great

[Jwctp]

Currently, Capture One just released an update to support X-T2 compressed RAWs. Fuji also released its X Acquire software a few months ago.

 

So I set X Acquire's destination folder to a Capture One Hot folder, and it works well. It is speedy and seems reliable. I tested against Lightroom, and it's significantly faster. I'm going to try this out on my next real shoot that requires tethering.

Hi,

 

Do you know if something has been improved in the the raw processing or just to support compressed files?

 

Do you like the output?

I saw some comparisons between different products, Capture One being one of them and I was not impressed by how it processed the raw data from X-Trans. I actually liked Lightroom output more.

I may have to download C1 and give it a try.

 

Thanks for the update

They support the compressed RAWs. Capture One also said they redesigned the X-Trans RAW processing. So maybe there is an upgrade. Also note that I shoot portraits and fashion without much sharpening, which Capture One excels at. I don't shoot landscapes to see the typical X-Trans issues like watercolor, worms, etc.

The C1Pro is very comprehensive SW and is oriented for professional use. Not so easy to learn as LR. Only basic editing need min. one month studies. But the results - when you really learn customizing and processing in C1Pro - are on very high level, especially the RAF files.

I´m C1Pro user since version 4 and I was simultaneously user LR 4, 5, 6 for other systems as Fuji. From my experience is C1Pro the best RAF editor in Windows. Specially for skin tones, excellent detail resolution and w/o watercolor effect.... and the editing/masking in up to 16 layers pro image is awesome.

hildasea,

 

Thank you for all the details. I just downloaded the trial and will give it a try. I currently use Luminar which supports Fuji RAW, but I do not like how it process them. The sharpening and the noise reduction algorithms work fine on Nikon RAW, but on Fuji produce this watercolour effect. Guess it is not really optimized for that sensor. Otherwise I like its interface approach.
