As you know, I left Adobe Lightroom for Capture One quite a while ago.
And while Lightroom is a fantastic tool, I am so happy with Capture One that I haven’t looked back since.

Fujifilm has released software update 1.20 for Fujifilm Tether Plugin PRO for GFX for Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic CC / 6.
A couple of days ago, Viktor contacted me with a hack he found about how to get all Fujifilm film simulation in Lightroom. Down below his description as well as his screenshots that I share with his permission.
If you want, you can also check out the video of Pal2Tech below, which he uploaded today.
WARNING: While this seems to work just fine and seems not to create any issues, to those who try it, it is still a “hack”. So as always with these things, make proper backups and copies, before you try it out.

I found a way to apply official Adobe Classic NEG simulation to any X camera RAW files, works in Photoshop Camera Raw and Lightroom. If you are interested in the process, how to enable this simulation, I can send instructions (pretty simple hack, no exif digging).
Close Photoshop / Lightroom. Run Notepad as administrator, or the file can’t be saved. Start your Photoshop / Lightroom, open a Fujifilm RAW file, apply Classic NEG, enjoy 🙂 Tested with the latest Camera Raw and the latest Lightroom Classic.

I have created a script for Mac users to use, to complete the steps shown in the video. The script makes the process more easy and it also makes a backup of the files before doing anything. Te link is https://github.com/tl87/

In his latest video (see below), Thomas Heaton talks about the photography software he use to process his Fujifilm X-T3 RAW files. He tested

Here are some considerations:
And in real life? Thomas printed the same image using the 4 different methods. He can’t see any difference. You need a loupe and super close, to see difference.
The only real noticeable difference appears during the editing process. You look at high res monitor super magnified. But when printed, you don’t really see difference.
But although in real world you can’t see real difference, you want to work with the best file possible, enjoy the processing. He recommends Capture One or Iridient X Transformer.
Thomas Heaton decided to use Iridient X Transformer. It’s almost as good as Capture One, and he can keep all his Lightroom workflow.
But if you don’t have problems to switch, he would recommend Capture One.

Just as Mattias Burling (see video below), also many other fellow Fujifilm X-Pro3 shooters complain about the unusable Classic Film Simulation profile in Lightroom.
Well, I am please to report that the latest December update of Lightroom fixed this, and you can now properly apply the classic film simulation profile in Lightroom.
On the bad side: converting Fujifilm HDR mode raw files to DNG is still not supported. Let’s hope it will follow with the next update.

We reported first about X-LR back in March 2017 here.
X-LR is a Lightroom plug-in that reads Fujifilm’s Film Simulation from your RAW file and automatically applies corresponding profile when you import your images to Lightroom.
Now X-LR is receiving an update.
You can find a version 2.0 of the X-LR plugin for Lightroom at lightroomsolutions here.
One big issue it fixed is that Adobe quietly introduced new film simulation profiles with a v2 suffix for the X-T3 and now the X-T30. This release addresses that change and supports any new Fuji cameras for which Adobe introduce v2 profiles.
It has other improvements too:
