Fuji Black and white on the x20

[gmutt26]

i need some help and please dont think i am stupid for asking this. I have just bought a x20 and shoot RAW plus jpeg. Normaly i convert to a pre set in apple's aperture for B&W but i seam to make nearly all my photos B&W so i am thinking of setting C1 or C2 for B&W. How the hell do you find the B&W setting in the X20??? and also can anyone share there fav set up for B&W portaits. Thanks

The X20 offers 4 B&W and 1 Sepia film simulation in the film simulation menu. You can use the internal RAW converter to create different versions.

Of course, doing the BW conversion in an external RAW converter offers flexibility.

Don't use Aperture for RAW conversion of you files with DR200% and DR400%. Apple can't really handle these files. As recommended earlier, better use Iridient or Lightroom (or Capture One or Silkypix).

Ok great. I have lightroom 5 so I will start using that I think.

Lightroom 5.5 is quite usable with the X20. Here's a shot I took earlier today before dinner:

The X20 sensor can be overexposed quite a bit as long as you can rely on an external RAW workflow.
