So, does that mean that the optional correction is from Fuji or from Adobe?Michael A Shapirohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09583285373961422023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2682980146054665631.post-38666533122395614702015-06-28T12:33:52.066-07:002015-06-28T12:33:52.066-07:00Does ACR apply it without being asked?

I'm trying to find information on the degree of correction with an x100T. All I find is that the demosaicing process is difficult. Have you accomplished it?

Artefacts mostly shift towards chrominance noise, which is more pleasant to look. Typically all scientific paper look at the Kodak lighthouse picture and its fence to spot CAs, for example. Did you implement similar algorithms in your software, or is it done using spatial interpolation?Sterndalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13954923480144451883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2682980146054665631.post-45328151137013602872013-05-06T13:32:30.591-07:002013-05-06T13:32:30.591-07:00I'm glad AccuRaw is working well for you.

I've been very busy with a new version of AccuRaw that should improve speed and general responsiveness.

I've been using it lately, and while it does have some chroma artifacts, I'm finding that it could be best overall, in terms of trade offs. Any experience with that yet?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2682980146054665631.post-62463246276226562242013-03-27T14:02:39.828-07:002013-03-27T14:02:39.828-07:00I think it would be useful to see comparisons of t...I think it would be useful to see comparisons of the various conversions with the out of camera JPG's.

This started out as a X-Trans RAF file and was converted to TIFF in AccuRaw.<br /><br />http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8380/8524649118_01163d4de6_o.png<br /><br />http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8370/8523536307_f589f35f7d_o.png<br /><br />These screen clips are at 400%. Although the shots look fine at normal resolution, the RAW converter shows artifacts on the edges of high contrast areas. It also appears to have a repeating pattern of color artifact in these high contrast areas. <br /><br />I'm so glad that manufacturers are working on solutions to the challenges provided by the X-Trans sensor. In my mind, it is the best sensor on the market for what it is.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03011000103688847945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2682980146054665631.post-25210634454417434552013-03-02T20:06:17.351-08:002013-03-02T20:06:17.351-08:00Well, I just got my XE1 last Wednesday.

I had my settings down after having read through just about every blog on the xpro site. I shot all the way up to 3200 ISO and the images were, well ---- my D800 is up for sale as of tonight -- <br /><br />I am keeping my D700 and assorted lenses, but this camera and the 35mm F1.4 were truly amazing. Crisp, clear, sharp images even at high ISO. I use LR, version 4.3 and I agree that LR just doesn't have the oomph to handle the raw files, BUT the jpegs are so freakin' amazing that I honestly can't compete!<br />So bravo Fuji!! They have done an amazing job.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
