Acros film simulation

[NeilC]

When shooting fine RAW with simulation set to b/w options the RAW file is in full colour.

I want to be able to convert a RAW b/w image via Adobe Raw without converting from colour to greyscale first.

Am I missing something here? Am I stuck with just the jpeg in say Acros?

It sounds like you are using Adobe products. So ... you might have some good results trying gradient mapping  (This technique also works in other photo editors.) Here are a couple of step by step tutorials:

ps The free Raw Convertor software FujiFilm gives you with the camera does have some decent conversion options as well.

Thanks jerryy, I'll certainly give those options a go!

Well, the raw is always in color no matter what.  However, if you use the FREE version of Capture one 12,   I own the full Pro version of C1 v12 and I can change the raw file into whatever I want from a drop down menu. It has all the Fuji profiles.

I second the Capture 1 with the pull down menu that has *all* the profiles.

It makes it easy to decide between Velvia slightly unsaturated, or Provia with some saturation.

Or, might just go Acros with a yellow filter.. life is good.
