Having just purchased the X-H1 I discovered that the RAW files don't work in the non subscription version of Lightroom and that they never will.

I am not interested to pay the subscription so am looking for a Lightroom replacement. Lightroom served me well for a long time, and unfortunately, cannot anymore. So I'm interested in what others are doing to deal with this situation.

I recently purchased Luminar and use it as a plug-in in LR, but it could easily serve as a LR substitute . Very capable and about $60 on sale.  Check it out. I also purchased their HDR program Aurora.  They are both produced by Skylum.

I use On1 for my processing Fuji files. I add photos into Lightroom (for file management) and they export automatically into ON1. On1 is a very robust photo processing software. On1 offers very good tutorials and once learned is very dynamic for processing photos.

I'm just paying the subscription. For a reasonable price I get Lightroom as well as Photoshop, can use it on two machines, it works great as long as I take care of the various intricacies of x-trans and I get consistent results with my other cameras (Canon) when using Masten Labs film simulations. 

So, while I'm not really that happy with subscription models, I understand that software companies need to make a living as well and therefore pay for what I'm getting.

Personally I'm using a mix of RAWTherepee and DarkTable - as I haven't really made up my mind yet - their X-Trans support has become rather good.

If I'm in a hurry KDE ShowPhoto is being used - yeah I'm a mess!

    • Which direction is the light source coming from in the dark images? For example, if it coming from behind the subject, a common occurrence known as backlighting, put some light from the front toward the subject — you can do this with a flash unit, or by using various types of colored reflectors. Or, use long exposures with various grades and types of graduated neutral density filters to bring out the dark areas without blowing out the highlights. Or try bracketing exposures. There is a technique called ETTR, expose to the right, which will bring out shadow detail but risks blowing out the brighter sections. This may help in understanding DR settings as well as Dynamic Range Priority: https://www.jmpeltier.com/fujifilm-dynamic-range-settings/ p.s. The situation you are describing has been one photographers have struggled against since cameras and photographers have been around.  
    • Hi, I'm looking for some Fujifilm HDR RAF image samples from the X-T4, X-Pro3 or X100V cameras. These cameras should store 3 RAW images inside the RAF image file in HDR mode. In need it, to verify my own software, but don't find any downloadable samples on web. Can someone help? Christoph
    • I would like to get your comments on the following problem of mine: Occasionally, I do get too dark JPG pictures with X-T50 - when the scene is contrasty; I think this is the very situation. This can happen when sun shines from a blue sky or the sky is cloudy but still very bright. I find these outcomes strange, as in many other (more or less similar) situations I find that the exposure is balanced. Is there any remedy for this, as I cannot completely figure out as to why this happens. Photometry is at the most common center-weight setting. What factors/settings can affect the picture's exposure in X-T50 (in the situation I describe)? For JPGs I've set the dynamic range on (DR400 with ISO500). Can that do it?? I thought it balances contrasts... Well, I can adjust the exposure on a computer but that is extra work for holiday pictures.
    • Like Jerryy says you can scale you image down so that it can be uploaded - that way we aren't guessing. The only symbol that looks like a camera is the Continuous Mode symbol - but it normally has "L" or "H" next to it rather than a "1"
