Fuji X-Pro 1 Raw file processing updated in 4.2?

Question

With the release of 4.2 now supporting Fuji X-E1, does anyone know if this update fixes Fuji X-Pro 1 raw files?

Answer 1

I come across these sorts of post all the time while searching up information on a particular subject. You get some big shot in the community throwing a non-helpful reply out there.
The big shot with their non-helpful reply always seemed a bit… I don’t know, careless, smug. A lot of times I’m trying to research a subject and the reply comes across a lot like, well, I know it and so should you. Not always the case though. (In my job I’m asked a lot of simple questions, what I consider obvious. Things that are in the manual. I never brush people off so hastily though. I sit and help them because I don’t know… that seems like the proper thing to do)
Perhaps it’s just me, that I don’t think it’s appropriate to just brush someone off so easily. Perhaps it’s in my nature to put a thoughtful reply up. That even if I don’t fully understand the subject, I’d take the time to do a little research and see what I can find to help someone. I don’t subscribe to the mentality of just telling someone to “Google it”. I understand that Ian didn’t tell OP to google it, but I feel his replies are based in that same mind set.
It’s not just about brushing people off because they ask a question you feel they can answer themselves. I understand there’s a lot of information out there to those that know how to seek it. Not everyone does though and it’s wrong to assume as such. It’s better as a community to help people, even if their questions seem straight forward.
All I’ve found concerning raw files for the X-E1 so far are lab pictures. They don’t really correlate that well to real world performance and images. Though they may exhibit some of the problems, it doesn’t feel like I’m getting a clear image of the situation. Most of the threads I’ve found on the subject only have one image propped up as an example (Typically an image I don’t consider to be all that well shot, so what I can judge from it is still debatable)
Plus, I’d want other people’s experiences. Especially as a potential owner. I can only gather so much from a few sparse raw files.
Lastly, I’m not in a position at the moment to download random raw files and put them through lightroom. Even if I have a few moments to share, I’m not at a computer where I have access to lightroom/can install lightroom trial. This will change, in time, obviously, but at the moment this is the spot I’m in.
Sometimes there are problems like this, but at some point they get fixed. It can be difficult to sort through months of post of people complaining before you find the post where they say it’s fixed. People tend to quiet down after problems are fixed, so mostly what you still come across is the hordes of people that complained about it being broken.
Dog me if you’d like over the fact that I replied to a post that was a few months old. I don’t care. Obviously it reached someone.
P.S. Sometimes it’s really nice to talk to another human being when you have a problem or question. I think a lot of people are conditioned to do that. Questions may not always be necessary, but that doesn’t mean they should be shrugged off. There was a time where we didn’t have this magical land of porn and cat photos and in those days it was quite acceptable to ask each other questions, even on simple subjects.
