Brian from Iridient just posted new Fujifilm X-Trans (APS-C) film style presets for Iridient Developer 3! The download includes a ReadMe file with detailed instructions on installation and use.
All previous styles have been updated and Classic Chrome has now been added. These styles are now saved as Iridient Developer 3 “preset” type files with just the specific adjustments necessary for the color styles so they can be used without altering other adjustments like sharpening or noise reduction. The previous (preset pack #3) styles have also been updated to the new “preset” file type and are included as well for those that want to be able to keep the identical color rendering as the older versions.
FujifilmXworld just launched the first episode about the popular Fujfilm’s Film Simulations. It’s just an introduction and shows the graph you can see above. They say that “starting with the next episode, we will explain each “world” in depth.”
“It is our belief that “the photos should never look unnatural even though one can easily see that they are composed with the color of Velvia or ASTIA.
FUJIFILM’s color reproduction designers prioritize the live action. They take photos of scenery that should not be taken in Velvia. They take photos upon customizing the setting that one would never think of. They would print these out and evaluate. People who evaluate are not the people who took the photos. In order for a fair evaluation, they would need the neutral eye for the job and they do that for every test.
This is the process of creating the world of color that are unique, but yet never fail.”
Of course, the film simulation are also part of Rico’s X-T1 book… he goes through each of them and also gives you some useful information and tips. So if you don’t want to wait for each episode, get all you have to know about the film simulations right now from Rico’s X-T1 book here (use discount code “FUJI40“).
Fujifilm’s film simulations (and overall the JPEG’s) can sometimes deliver such pleasing results, that they are not always easy to match in post processing… not for nothing Fuji’s film simulation/JPEG’s are highly appreciated amongst photographers.
Rico also recommends to shoot RAW+JPEG and you can read why in his latest book

There is bug with the recently announced Tethered Plugi-In for Adobe and the HS-V5 software. In fact, Fujifilm shared the information on their site here (translation), that the tethered plug-in can lead to data loss under certain conditions.
[google translated] “Phenomenon that announcement, camera USB mode configuration is connected to the computer remains of MTP of initial setting (PTP), When you start the HS-V5 or tethered shooting plug-ins, DCIM folder that has been recorded in the camera’s memory card or things that the data in the folder is lost.”
The Adobe plug-in is still not available for downlaod at Fujifilm.com. Follow FR on facebook, google+, RSS-feed and twitter, and I’ll let you know as soon as Fujifilm has sorted out the bug and releases the Tethered Plug-In for Adobe.
