The X-Trans RAW Conversion Debate is Over :: 5 Luminar Tips :: How I Sharpen my Fuji RAW Files :: LightRoom Vs. Capture One & More (X-Trans Zone)

X-Trans RAW conversion

Let’s end the week with a rumor (shared here) and with one very hot topic in the Fujifilm community: X-Trans RAW conversion.

Skylum

Luminar 2018 is having a great breakthrough in the RAW conversion world, and it deserves it, but no lens profiles is still an issue you have to consider. You can get Luminar with a $10 discount using code “FUJI”.

Skylums’ other software, Aurora HDR 2018, also got an update. Also in this case, $10 off with code “FUJI”.

And here is a link you might be interested:

Capture One (vs. Lightroom)

Capture One has made great progress regarding X-Trans support in 2017. For example, they added Fujifilm compressed RAW support, OpenCL is now also supported by X-trans files and more (we reported about it here). Still no film simulation profiles, but there is a great homebrew at the fuji-x-forum.

Tethering is not supported, but if you own an X-T2, X-Pro2 or X-T1, an easy workaround is to use Fujifilm’s free tethering software X Acquire. We also have shared a video tutorial on tethering with X Acquire and Capture One here,

What you definitely should check out, is the dedicated Fujifilm/Capture One webinar we shared here, in which, btw, a Capture One Manager opens the possibility to add film simulation profiles…. but I will believe it only when I see it.

Also in this case, we have a 10% discount on Capture One 11. Just use coupon code “AMBFR” to get the discount.

The X-Trans Debate is Over and How I Sharpen my Fuji RAW Files

Bayer and X-Trans are different. And every RAW converter is different. So all we have to do, is to adjust our workflow, and you will see, you can get great results also with Adobe. We have written about it here on FujiRumors, and there is more to find on the web. Here are some links:

X-RAW STUDIO

Hey guys, this one comes for free, so no complaints ;) . Some more feedback about this software below:

More Images of Venus Optics Laowa 9mm F2.8 Lens + Sample Images

We already leaked the upcoming Laowa 9mm F2.8 back in December here.

The leak of December, also includes sample images taken with the Laowa 9mm, so make sure to check it out, because FujiRumors and SonyAlphaRumors are the only place where you can find sample images so far ;) .

Laowa lenses are made by the Chinese manufacturer Venus Optics, but as already highlighted by TheCameraStoreTV in their Best/Worst 2017 epsiode, we see more and more quality products coming from China, and TCSTV specifically mentions Laowa lenses amongst those Chinese quality products.

The new product images have been leaked at weibo here.

Save 10% on Capture One 11 with Exclusive FujiRumors Code “AMBFR”

FujiRumors and PhaseOne teamed up to offer to all FujiRumors a 10% discount on Capture One 11. Use coupon code “AMBFR” to get the discount.

Capture One has made great progress regarding X-Trans support in 2017. For example, they added Fujifilm compressed RAW support, OpenCL is now also supported by X-trans files and more (we reported about it here).

Still no film simulation profiles, but there is a great homebrew at the fuji-x-forum.

Also tethering is not supported, but if you own an X-T2, X-Pro2 or X-T1, an easy workaround is to use Fujifilm’s free tethering software X Acquire. We also have shared a video tutorial on tethering with X Acquire and Capture One here.

Sadly this is not a deal for Fujifilm GFX 50S shooters, since this camera is not supported (and probably never will).

At this stage, I think also the X-E3 is not supported, but I guess support will come, since they support all other Fujifilm X series cameras, too. Full list of supported Fujifilm cameras here.

If you want to get your copy with a 10% discount, go to Capture One 11 and use code “AMBFR”.

You Guys are Unbelievable

I have to tell you… you guys are driving me nuts… in a good way :)…

… because here is what you did on FujiRumors this year 2017

  • 45,261 comments to FR-articles (124 comments a day – average 47.5 comments on each article)
  • 145,915 votes in our polls

Also our social media skyrocketed beyond anything I could have ever hoped

These numbers explain very good, why, as proven multiple times (such as here and here), Fujifilm reads us with greatest care on a daily basis. You are their best online source for all things Fuji feedback… and if it’s correct what a source told me here, their absolute and by very far favorite one ;) .

I Tried to Honour Your Participation

I have tried to honour your participation as good as I can, delivering you in 2017:

  • 952 blog posts (in my not so impeccable English)
  • 129 rumors
  • 94% correct rumors (full overview will follow in a separate article)

I have also put heart and soul in my personal messages with you:

  • 5,000+ emails written via fujirumor@gmail.com
  • easily another 1,000+ private messages on Facebook and Twitter
  • at least about 17 to 20 emails/private messages every single day, weekend and holidays included

I’m Motivated Like Never Before

Being part of this amazing community is extremely motivating for me, and you can be sure that I’ll put all my passion/fun/excitement (and a lot of time) into this blog also in 2018, in order to make your time here on FujiRumors the most informative & exciting as possible.

Top Blogger Moment 2017

Having raised, thanks to the FujiRumors community, additional $1,500 for free education for Cambodian kids (total $5,000 in two years).

And behind the scenes, I have also donated for free education the money I made with various cooperation over the last 5 years.

Could I have afforded a Fujifilm GFX with that money?

Yes! But after having cleaned and repaired the dirtiest toilets in Nicaragua, played with the kids there and distributed food to kids living in the largest waste disposal site of Central America, I wanted to continue to find a way to support a little bit some projects around the world, also via FujiRumors.

With that said… the Fujifilm GFX is on my radar, and I’m working restelessy to fund it :)

Flop Blogger Moment 2017

Actually everything was fantastic this year…

But I know which one will be the flop moment of 2018., and I have given a hint here in the X-H1 announcement day rumor. But that’s how it is… I’m 100% concentrated and looking forward to make 2018 a great year for every Fuji X and GFX shooter out there.
