LR 5.7 Vs. LR 6.1 100% Crop Comparison

_ _ _

It seems that Adobe is about to unlock the Full Potential of the X-TRANS sensor… and yesterday they made the first important step.

As demonstrated by FXF Member BarwickGreen in this FXF thread, the annoying halo effect has been significantly improved! He shared & compared some 100% crops here processed in LR5.7 and LR6… and I definitely like the results :) .

And this is just the beginning. In fact, Adobe is also working to “improve fine detail rendering and overall edge definition.”

So Adobe’s poor X-TRANS demosaicing was not just a placebo or pixel peeper problem ;)… and I’m happy to see them finally sorting out this issue.

Fujifilm HS-V5 Tethered Shooting PC Software available in Europe… and how it will run on MAC, too!

 

Fuji’s tethered shooting odyssey is slowly nearing its end. After UK, now the HS-V5 Tethered Shooting Software is available also in Amazon Germany and Amazon France.

It’s a PC only software, so MAC users have to wait for a dedicated Adobe Plug-in, which will be available (not for free) sometimes at the Adobe Exchange site… or do it like Rico, who explained in his X-T1 tethering shooting article here:

“Mac OS users will have to install a (virtual) Windows machine on their computer. Personally, I was using Parallels Desktop and Windows 8.1 to check out a pre-release version of HS-V5 on my MacBook Pro.”
