Thanks Adam great review. Ill have to download the program and play around with it.
Your article was, as usual, nice to read. As a mostly JPEG user I really don't see any pro's for me. I set up the JPEG's in the camera so they only need very little tweaking. I'll do that in Apple photo. If there is more tweaking ( on a part of the photo) necessary than I mostly use Affinity or Exposure 3.For this week's article, I'm using Fujifilm X Raw Studio!
Doing all of that Jpeg stuff for last week's comparison piece gave me chance to try the new software from Fujifilm
So I decided to write an overview about it.
Using Fujifilm X Raw Studio

But I will read the article once more, open minded, we'll see. No hurry because my X-Pro1 doesn't work with Studio, but theX-Pro3 might . . . .
@Adam Bonn After a few days of side by sides of photos from different shoots and lighting situations, I am sticking with Capture One. The first couple of photos were a 50/50 split between LR or C1. But then it was all C1. LR still isn't close to having the complex level of tools that is in C1. But Adobe keeps LR more tied to Photoshop.
I got my first Canon, a 10D, in 2003 and began teaching myself Photoshop at the age of 66. I began using Capture One that same year, and was mostly happy with it. I used version 7.2.4 for several years and didn't upgrade because I did not get new cameras during that period. When I got an X-T20, I found I would need a newer version of C1, and unfortunately, I had missed the cut-off date for a discounted upgrade and would have to pay full price. C1 is getting more and more complex, which is fine for those who need those features, but I don't need them and don't want to pay for them.
Fortunately, C1-7 still works with my X-Pro 1 and X-T1 files. I tried converting the X-T20 RAF files in SilkyPix and found it surprisingly easy to use and good enough for the work I do. I have also downloaded X-RAW Studio, but haven't tried it yet.
It seems that all I've done since 2003 is learn new software. It may help stave off Alzheimer's, but I am tired to the bone of constantly having to learn new software. (Camera menus too, for that matter.) Bottom line: I am moving toward an all-jpeg workflow.
To all you guys who enjoy comparing RAW processors ad infinitum, I can only say, have fun! I won't be joining you.
Nope, not first digital Canon. But you didn’t specify digital.I got my first Canon, a 10D, in 2003 and began teaching myself Photoshop at the age of 66.
Nice job.
As usual a good read, but I disagree the alley/care shot definitely should be colour!
