Fujifilm X Shooter Andrew Gibson has just published two ebooks, both are discounted, and one is even more discounted for FR-readers:
And…
Here are the top articles on FujiRumors for October.
I hope you enjoyed reading FujiRumors in October, and I will give my best to give you an interesting Fuji-November ;).
And…
It was inevitable, because:
So I had to look for alternatives, and although my lovely Fujifilm X-E3 is still supported in Lightroom standalone, I figured out that, since I am going to leave Lightroom anyway at some point, I better do it now.
Luckily we live in times, where there are a lot of valuable alternatives, such as:
And after a summer spent at home hiking my mountains (you can see my wife and me caching sunrise at 8,200 feet here) and editing pictures with a mix of different software, I decided to make Capture One Pro my main software of choice.
I will leave Lightroom, use Capture One Pro 12, but always keep an eye also on Luminar 4, Picktorial and ON1 Photo RAW…. but especially on Luminar 4.
And yes… X-Trans files and Capture One do get along very well :).
The learning curve?
Well, that actually went faster than I’d have expected, as Capture One is just a very good software overall, but there are also lots of quick tip C1 youtube videos you can check out for help.
We have shared Capture One tutorials and quick tips already in past roundups:
And today, down below, you’ll see a few more of them.
Farewell Adobe… I am out… and just a recommendation: treat your customers better than this ;).
I will be one of those, who in not so distant future will leave Lightroom forever, and use only one of the below mentioned RAW converters.
Now, I doubt I could influence your decision at all, but anyway I decided not to tell you here, which RAW converter I am going for, in the illusion of what I would say could influence the vote down below :).
So now I want to hear from you guys, if you consider to leave Lightroom forever, which one would be the RAW converter of your choice?
Vote down below… I did already.

In times, where tons of Fujifilm X shooters are migrating to Capture One Pro 12 (including myself) due to a massive 50% discount, I thought to publish a Capture One Pro 12 centric Fujifilm X Trans roundup.
Personally I currently use the last standalone Lightroom version (which still supports my Fujifilm X-E3) and Capture One Pro 12.
But as soon as I get my next Fujifilm camera (Fujifilm X-Pro3?), I will go all in with Capture One Pro Standalone. The only rent I am willing to pay, is the one for my little apartment, and not for software.
So, this roundup includes comparisons between Capture One Pro 12 and other software. Spoiler: Capture One wins!
Also, you will also find the link to a Capture One Pro 12 guide.
It’s all down below. I hope you can find something useful for you.

Last week Adobe launched the new “enhance details” feature, which, according to Adobe, will improve details in your images by up to 30%!
The feature is also supposed to demosaic Fujifilm X-Trans images better, and we have a first feedback about it here.
The testing continues, and overall will can sum it up like this:
