I recently saw an article by Scott Bourne "The Absolutely Best Fuji (RAF) File Converter" dated July 30, 2015.
In that blog post, Scott extolls the benefit of "in-camera" raw processed files.
I had the impression after reading the article that there is a difference between the Jpeg created by the Fuji X-T1 when one has the settings: RAW + Fine and the Jpeg created by the in-camera RAW processor.
Here's what I did as a test:
1. Fuji X-T1 set to RAW + Fine
2. Film Simulation set to STD
3. I shoot a scene that has a Color Checker chart included
4. I take the photo
5. So now I have a RAF file and a JPEG (Std Film Simulation) file
6. Next I then select the file from the Playback menu and choose RAW Conversion.
7. I leave all the settings in that menu unchanged
8. The image is processed and save as a 2nd Jpeg for that scene
9. Now I have a Raf file, the initial Jpeg created from that file, and a 2nd Jpeg created by using the Raw Conversion in-camera software.
10. I view all three images, in particular the two Jpegs, side by side, in the "Photo Mechanic" browser.
11. I cannot see a difference between the two Jpegs, they are the exact same file size, look 100% the same.
Question: Rico, mm I missing out on something here?
PS: I am enjoying your Fuji X-T1 e-book, I did read the section on Raw Conversion by the way before I did my test.
