Fuji S5 Pro Dynamic Range Support?

I have been playing around with LR 1.4 and searching the forums and help files but have not been able to figure out if LR supports editing the amount of dynamic range in Fuji's RAW files. Does anyone know if LR does and if so what it is called in LR? I'm trying to decide if I want to go with LR or Aperture... Thanks!

Jao, Are you familiar with the Fuji CCD and RAW file? The Fuji CCD has 2 sets of sensors, one at a normal range and one at a less sensitive range. This is what provides the extra control of dynamic range of a Fuji CCD. All of the information from the CCD, the two sets of sensor data, is stored in the RAW file. By manipulating the mix of the two different sets you can adjust the range. The Fuji RAW editor allows you to mix these two sets but the editor is slow and doesnt work as nicely as LR or Aperture. Im trying to find out if there is a similar set point in either LR or Aperture that will adjust the data from the two sets of sensors. All of this data is in the RAW file not the metadata. Shadow fill and highlight don't seem to make the adjustments that I'm looking for.

    Anyone who might know is constrained from answering your query by strict and strictly enforced non-displasure agreements. Further it is against the rules of these forums to speculate on future releases. There are however, any number of Apple rumor sites that are more than happy to spedulate on future Apple releases and occasionally they even have some basis in fact.

  • Fuji S5 Pro and .RAF support in LR2.0?

    I've read all the messages relating to .raf files and the product requests, but there aren't any posts to say whether the Fuji RAW file type with its extended dynamic range is better supported in LR2.0 Does anyone have any experience of this yet?
    Cheers!

    Hi Steve,
    I use the Fuji S5 Pro and the S2 with LR2 and C1. I mainly shoot in RAW with D-Range set to 400%. Its hard to say if its better supported under LR2 than LR1.4, the extended DR is there and I have recovered highlights far in excess than other pro cameras I've used. C1 gives better colour and for the little colour work I do then I generally use C1. Most of my work is monochrome and LR comes into its own here with much more flexible conversion. My site www.angryskies.co.uk gives you an idea of what I do. As I generally shoot in high contrast situations (by choice), a BIG problem with other pro cameras I've used, with the S5, HDR or the use of ND grads is a thing of the past. It works really well.

  • Fuji X pro 1 RAW support?

    Any date yet when aperture will support Fuji xPro 1 raw files?

    Actually Fuji's US representatives have stated that all the code required to translate the XPro's RAW files has been in the hands of the major RAW decoder developers for a while.  Apple has apparently not put the resources into this as they feel there is not enough demand for the extra effort required to develop for the X-Trans.

    Phase One, Siklypix, and Adobe have all decided otherwise.  Unfortunately after waiting about 9 months for this it means I have transferred to using Lightroom for all my newer shoots.  This is after using Aperture for around 4 years.  I still don't like Lightroom as much, but I work in RAW and now use only the XPro - so I have no option.  I will wait for another 6 months or so before I decide whether or not to transfer all my legacy library over.  After that, it will be goodbye to Apple forever for my photo management.

    Dynamic Range in Premiere Pro CS5
    I'm working in Premiere Pro CS5 and I've been asked by the client to ensure that the "Dynamic Range" of the audio does not exceed 7dB.  In order to ensure this, should I use an audio filter such as a compressor?  If not, what is the best way to achieve this?

    I tried to use tethering function of Aperture 2 by my Fuji S2 Pro but it doesn't work.
    I use Wirefire cable and I've already set up my S2 Pro by 1394 Shooting mode.
    Does Aperture 2 support tethering function only for Nikon or Cannon?

  • X-tended dynamic range versus x-tended dynamic range pro: what's the difference?

    What is the difference between X-tended dynamic range, Sony's version of HDR, and X-tended dyanmic range pro?  

    Hello,
    The PCI-4472 would be best suited for vibration measurments. It has 24-bit resolution, Simultaneous Sampling, Hardware Time-to-Frequency Domain Conversion, 110 dB Dynamic Range, and hardware filtering. See the following Link for more details on the 4472: http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/nioc.vp?cid=10572〈=US
    The 6289 was not built with vibration analysis in mind, the the dynamic range is not spec'd.
    Let me know if you have any further questions.

  • Support Fuji X Pro 1

    Please, support for Fuji X Pro 1.

    Great stuff ! - I am impressed by the results with the X-Pro 1 from raw now. Thanks Apple, you get there finally.

  • ACR 4.1 only picking up 6M pixels from Fuji S5 Pro.

    I have read that quite a few people are happily opening their raw files from a Fuji S5 Pro with ACR 4 & 4.1, but have any of you managed to get it to recognize the full 12M pixels. At first I thought it was me, new camera & all that, but then I opened a raw file in iPhoto & there it was in full resolution.
    I'm guessing that ACR is not able to see the S pixel data in the image & is therefor only opening the remaining 6M R pixels, or visa versa.
    I am using a MacPro & G5 with 10.4.10 & CS3 Design Premium with all the updates.
    Thanks

    The S and R sensors are not there to increase the resolution, but the dynamic range. You can select the number of pixels that you will export as they are interpolated anyways. (Click on the hyperlink at the bottom of ACR windows for workflow options)

  • Dynamic range: NEED SOME HELP (any help i can g

    here's the reason i am here:so lately i've decided to dump the idea of playing movies on my xbox360 and started using my hometheater PC to play it. since it has a X-fi extreme Music on it. and i do like it better because the xbox360's decoder down samples everything to 640kb Dolby Digital 5.. i want to experience the full quality (if not as high as i can get) of Dolby Digital Plus, and DOlby True HD (both lossless soundstream), and the only way to do that these days are through HDMI or analogue output, since SPDIF nor Optical toslink can provide enough bandwidth required by both DD+ and TrueHD soundstream. so now you know the reason i am here. i do understand Xfi currently does not offically support DD+ nor TrueHD, but at least through the analogue output i believe i can get a better fidelity than my 360. here's my problem:like i said, the sound quality is MUCH better through the Xfi than the Xbox360's internal decoder. but i do havve one problem. because the dynamic range is so high, i find myself regulary adjusting the volume several times through the whole movie. so i started playing with the "Smart Volume" setting, since it alters the dynamic range by compressing it. the result is a HEAVILY compressed dynamic range which is not very ideal. because i can hear the level shifts when there's a high volume element followed by a low bolume element, i can hear a very unatural alteration. is there anyway to adjust the level of the dynamic range? because smart Volume only allows for "on" or "off", i wish there's a level slider. another side problem i just found out with my card is that, apparently, my card is a Dell's Xfi Extrmem Music card, that means i am missing the DOlby Digital EX audio console control, and the DTS ES audio console control panel. i understand that both supposely would allow me to adjust the dynamic range levels. i only found this out when i tried to look up the dynamic range option in Xfi on google and there're?A LOT of angry people who are missing those two features in their Extreme Music card. apparently it has to do with Dell's cost cutting strategy in which all their Xfi cards audio decoder are license from Sonic instead of creative, so hardware wise, there's no differnce. but at a software decoding level, there're som features missing. and the people who bought these cards from Dell are real pissed off because they speficied on their page that's it's an Xfi Extreme Music card just like the retail, what they shoud've done is putting the "Dell's" logo next to it stating it's a Dell's Xfi Extreme Music card, meaning some features might not be the same. anywho, i realize it's a lot to read, but i searched the forum and googled the net, can't find any solution. would it be possible for the next driver update to include a slider option for adjusting different levels of Smart Volume?thank you.Message Edited by howzz854 on 04-08-200704:50 AM

  • How to create high dynamic range image in Photoshop Elements 2.0?

    I wonder if it is possible to Photoshop Elements 2.0. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    If you are talking about the idea of merging exposures IN ELEMENTS 2 and you are shooting RAW, you can do what Barbara suggests: Open the file once with favorable settings for the bright parts of the image and a second time for the shadows and merge. In Elements 2, the images will not open in 16-bit, and will be converted immediately to 8-bit. You will find that registration is right on, but there will be issues with the process if you want to retain higher bit counts (which to me is really the only way to have higher dynamic range in reality). I don't know where these started to be called 'high-dynamic range', and I think it is really a bit of a misnomer--especially in 8-bit. Even Elements 5 will not support 16-bit images with layers, so the opportunity to get true accentuation of dynamic range is...limited.

  • Dynamic Range Compression

    Are there any DRC plug-ins or add-ons for iTunes or the Mac in general? I watch movies on my MBP, and in a lot of movies, the dialog is way too quiet compared to the loud bits.

    I'd suggest you look into Rogue Amoeba's Audio Hijack Pro. It can accept VST and Audio Unit plugins of which there are both compressor and limiter plugins available.
    There are other audio processors such as JoeSoft's Hear, but for just working with dynamic range I think Audio Hijack is the best tool.

  • Dynamic Range and Exposure

    Hi,
    This is slightly off topic, but I'm hoping someone might be able to shed some light on issues that I'm experiencing with noise and and posterisation in the shadow areas of shots taken in dimly lit situations. The effect is most noticeable on indoor portait shots - and is common despite correct exposure information in my Canon 5D. I understand the need to bias exposures towards the right of the historgram to ensure maximum dynamic range, but I'm finding this quite challenging to accomplish in practice, without blowing out the highlights.
    I'm using fast and expensive glass (e.g. EF24-70 F/2.8 L), and am lead to belive that the 5D has one of the best low light sensors around.
    No amount of tweaking in Aperture seems to help (e.g. Chroma Blur) - so I'm running out of ideas (I've tried a variety of ISO settings etc. on the camera). Is this a case of camera technique ? Should I surrender to the flash - or is there anything else I can try.
    Thoughts appreciated.
    Paul

    Hi Paul
    Do you have an sample image uploaded some ware that I could have a look at.
    I am making the assumption that you are shooting RAW. I am not studio based but have shot a lot of low light images with the 1D/1D MKII/s and I tested a 5D that I had on loan from Canon, the 5D is probably the best low light camera I have used so far.
    One trick you may wish to try is running your image trough Noise Ninja!! This seems to pull detail out of the shadows as well as cleaning the noise.

  • Dynamic Range Increase

    Hi,
    I have been reading how by AutoBracketing you can get a dynamic range increase using Photoshop CS. It this possible with Lightroom 2?

    I like LR/enfuse by far the best as it doesn't give the super ugly fake looking results, but the Photoshop route works too. Another one that many people seem to like is called Photomatix Pro. They provide a Lightroom export plugin. Both the Photoshop and the Photomatix contrast reduction technique tend to yield really ugly results if you don't tune them from their defaults. Strangely enough this seems to be in vogue currently. You can however tune them to give OK results.
