No, sorry, not that excited. Maybe it's nice to work with, but the fact that it's only for some camera's and the fact that you have to keep the camera connected might be a minor for me. I take photo's when I travel and when they're on the computer I would like to work on them and now I have to take the computer and the camera to do so, instead of only the computer. 

Most of the time I'm happy with the Fuji OOC jpeg's, sometimes they need a bit of correction in Apple Photo's. When using RAW I'm fine with Affinity. So for now I'm not that excited . . . .

Being able to process RAW images at lightning speed using the hardware in e.g. an x-pro2 is pretty awesome. Way faster than any computer software on most consumer computers. And no more discontent with the look of the jpegs produced by the many different RAW converters on the market. This way you can process them the Fujifilm way, like in camera, but on a big screen. And you can still do it on the cameras 3" screen if no computer is around.

I guess you're kind of screwed if you need to reprocess and you no longer have access to that camera? Yeah the camera ASIC is fast to render/demosaic, but what else about your camera is actually faster than a fast SSD on your computer? Is that "lightning-fast" Fuji phone app that impressive? Think about it schlepping hundreds of full resolution files photos both ways. UHS-1 SD cards and USB-2 ports don't really have much of a place in a professional workflow....   I'm not saying I can't be done well, but given the sad history of camera makers making software, I wouldn't delete your copy of Iridient Developer just yet.

I shoot RAW+jpeg and save everything (within reason). I rarely need my saved jpegs. I, fortunately, haven't ever needed a cloud backup jpeg. With the Raw Studio, I will now delete ALL my cloud backup jpegs. Really no reason for them at all with a relatively easy technique for accurate (ie, genuine Fuji in-camera processor) regeneration of jpegs from cloud RAWs.

If the program is able to use the camera engine to process the files into 16-bit TIFF files, I will be ecstatic!

 

Fuji does seem to know best how to process their own files for optimum results. The only issue so far is that if you want to do significant post processing, you will want access to 16bit data.

 

If Fuji supports this, it will be a huge step forward. Imagine getting the benefits of Fuji's understanding of images (very deep from decades producing lenses, cameras and film even before there was digital), combined with the well-developed film simulations while still maintaining the full bit-depth captured by the camera.

Apparently it will be some sort of preview. Given the usb2 connection of the camera I’m eager to see the quality of that preview. If it doesn’t fully represent the final product the software is kind of useless. A 5 sec. transfer is fine by me if that is all per picture, and once you are done with the edit, metadata is sent to the camera for processing into jpeg. I don’t think tiff will be an option.

      pocket wizard and XT5?

      By LBAbrams · Posted

      Has anyone successfully used pocket wizards with an XT5? I cannot get it to fire.  Do Fujis and pocket wizards get along? Thanks in advance for your wisdom on this, kind readers!

      Grzegorz, Go to the Networking Setting in your camera menu (the last one at the bottom - unless you have a My Menu then that is the last one). There, go to Network Setting and choose the SSID (name) of your WiFi network, type in the password, choose "SET". If you have a functioning DHCP server on your network, the camera should get its IP address (and Subnet_Mask and Gateway). If not, you can enter these manually. It is a little tricky, there will be some zeros already here, move the cursor after the zero and use DEL to delete it and make space in the input fields for your own correct values. If you do not know what to enter, have a look at values in the network settings of your computer and use the same except for the IP address, try some fairly higher number, hopefully you hit an unused one. Usually the values would be something like IP: 192.168.1.188, Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0, Gateway IP: 192.168.1.1  or something like that, take clues from your computer. The camera and computer must be on the same network. Then in Connection Mode on the camera, choose Wireless Tethering Fixed. And half-press the shutter to exit the menu and get in shooting mode. The red LED should be blinking. If you can look at your network devices, e.g. on your router, you should see the camera there. You can see check the camera settings in the camera menu in the INFORMATION item of the Network Setting menu to see the MAC address of your camera and look for it in the list of devices on your network.  Then use the tethering in your software, e.g. in Capture One. The camera may not show immediately, take a shot and then it should show in the list of available cameras. Good luck. Report back how did you fare.  PS If you have a Windows machine, you need to have Bonjour installed and running. Macs have it.

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

      By grizzski · Posted

      Hey all, I just got my first camera. The X-T30 II. It seems the Eye Sensor + LCD Image Display view-mode is doing the exact same thing as just the Eye Sensor view-mode setting. Any ideas why this is or what's supposed to be happening? Firmware Version: 2.04

      Problem with multi exposure on XT5

      By George_P · Posted

      What GordW said. You have to put the drive mode dial to "S" - Single Frame. If you have it on CL, CH, BKT or Panorama (or HDR), the Multiple Exposure option will be greyed out in the shootng menu. On my X-T5 it works in RAW + JPG and also in JPG only. When Multiple Exposure is switched on, the image quality cannot be set to RAW only. If it was set to RAW only before switching Multiple Exposure On, image quality defaults to RAW+Fine. The result is JPG. After each shot press MENU/OK and after the last one press DISP/BACK.
