FUJiFILM X-S1

I have noticed that Aperture 3 only supports 4 cameras from FUJiFILM.
I would like to buy the X-S1, but would have to think very carefully if it does not become one of the cameras that Aperture support.
Does anyone have any experience with a X-S1?

There are not yet many Fuji cameras supported. The latest Raw support added 4 cameras - see the list of supported cameras here: http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
But sorry, only Apple can tell you. Even if we had the infromation, we would not be allowed to reveal it in a user-to-user forum.

Is Aperture Useful with unsupported digital cameras like FujiFilm S100FS?

I have been evaluating and comparing Apple Aperture with Adobe Lightroom. For me, Aperture would be my preference if my camera was supported. Note that I already am using Photoshop CS5, but could use the supplemental organizing capabilityies of Aperture.
Apple does not support my camera's raw format (Fujifilm Finepix S100FS). To make matters worse, it does no good to convert the raw files to the standard DNG format because Apple does not even support that format for this camera. Apple states that some cameras are not supported in DNG because they have different types of sensor. And one of the reasons I purchased the Fujifilm camera is that it sports a larger sensor (to capture more light).
Aperture does support TIFF files, however. So I considered the idea of converting files to TIFF before importing them into Aperture. An interesting aspect of this is that TIFF files tend to be very very large.
For example, compare the following file sizes (for the same photo):
Camera Raw direct from the camera (16 bits per pixel): 23.7 MB
Converted to very high quality JPEG (8 bits): 7.9 MB
Converted to TIFF using Finepix software (16 bits) 133.3 MB
Converted to TIFF with Esif using Finepix S/W (8 bits) 66.7 MB
Converted to TIFF using Adobe Photoshop (8 bits) 33.2 MB
Converted to CNG using Adobe DNG Converter (16 bits) 31.9 MB
It appears that the best route may be to use the Photoshop conversion to TIFF. But I would be concerned that the reduction from 16 to 8 bits may limit my ability to do extensive editing without ending up with high pixelizing results. One can see that working with the camera raw image would provide greater flexibility and use less disk space - if only it was supported.
I like the features of Apple Aperture. But, I am not willing to pay the price associated with the lack of camera support. I think that Aperture would be an asset to me if it was not for this great shortcoming. I am not currently interested in Lightroom 2 since it is a couple of years old and does not support sound and movie files to the same extent as Aperture. I may be able to use the sound organizational capabilities of Aperture since music is also one of my hobbies.
Has anyone else run into this type of problem? Is there something that I am missing? Is Aperture at all useful for a person with a camera that is not supported by Apple?

I guess the answer is digital is new and there is a lot of fighting for the Top Spot.
The way i figured things out was like this.
Best tool to do the job is what i wanted. What works for me, because i don't want to work for a computer or a camera. (but i have to) When i started looking i found Apple were the ones who seemed to make something that came nearest to working for me and not the other way round.
Of course Aperture is still very useful as it is a mega powerful Organisation tool.
If i were in your position now i would think new camera. Aperture will still be around long after your camera and hopefully getting better along the way. The camera won't, thats for sure.
A possible short, half term solution if Apple intend to support it in the near future. Would be import pairs then discard the jpegs when raw is supported.
Sorry probably not the answer you wanted.

HT201071 Why no Raw support for Fujifilm XF 1 in Aperture?

When will Apple support my camera the Fujifilm XF1, I prefer using Aperture but will be forced in to Lightroom.

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Problems with Fujifilm XD cards

Hi everyone!
I recently moved to my first Mac, and have been slowly introducing various peripherals, including my much-loved Fujifilm F30 camera.
While I haven't had many problems with the changeover, the F30 is proving a major stumbling point. Could anyone help me figure out how to negotiate this? I'd be really grateful for any help!
In short, when I use my MBP to delete photos from my XD card, it deletes the files happily. However, when I then insert the same XD card into my camera, it tells me that the card is full, and I cannot take any more photos.
Basically, I think I have compatability issues with the XD card and the MPB.
Longer version:
1) If I connect the F30 camera directly to my MBP, using the provided cable, the computer doesn't recognise it at all. It's not simply a case of not being able to read the files, or copy them across - it doesn't recognised that there is any camera attached. As it happens, my brother has the same camera, so I tried borrowing his cable (in case mine had become faulty). Same problem.
I checked the Fuji website, and I shouldn't need any drivers (I'm using OSX, 10.5.6).
I have never had any trouble with either cable or camera with previous laptop, and it still transfers happily to PCs. In other words, I don't think the camera is faulty. It seemed like some kind of compatability issue, but it was a real mystery.
2) I bought a USB card reader, to see if this would help. This is the beastie I chose:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fujifilm-USB-XD-Card-Reader/dp/B00172017W/ref=cmcr_pr_product_tophttp://www.amazon.co.uk/Fujifilm-USB-XD-Card-Reader/dp/B0017201 7W/ref=cm_cr_pr_producttop
At first: triumph! MPB immediately detected the USB, and I could transfer the photos on my XD card easily to my hard-drive. No problem opening or manipulating the files, either - I've been playing with them on Picasa, and all is well with the .jpgs - no corruptions that I can see.
However, when I try to delete the photos from my XD card, something goes awry.
I had transferred the .jpgs in question to my hard-drive, then returned to the USB to delete the original files. This seemed straighforward, and was easily done (with the files moved to trash). But - here's the weirdness - when I insert the XD card to my camera:
a) the files are gone (hurray!)
b) there is no free space.
In other words, having deleted all the files on my 512MB XD card, the camera told me that my XD card was full.
I used the camera's own buttons to review the XD card - i.e. inserted the XD card into the F30, and pressed 'play' to open up the memory. There was nothing there. The camera could not show me any photographs.
So I now have the very strange situation of:
- having no photographs on the XD memory
- being told that the card is full, and I cannot take any more photos.
Help?!
Some more info:
As it happens, I have a second XD card, a 1GB XD. I tried an experiment. I noted how many photographs were left on the card: 63 shots.
I inserted the card into my USB card reader, deleted c.20 photographs already backed up elsewhere, and reinserted the XD card into my camera.
There were still only 63 shots left.
I used the camera's own interface to delete a shot. Remaining space: 64 shots.
In other words, only those files deleted by my Mac are affected.
Why not just use the camera to delete files, then? Well, in the short-term, it doesn't help my poor, borked 512MB XD card. I have no files to delete, and so I can't convince my camera that there is, in fact, room. Any files I deleted seems to be dead space now, with no clear way to retrieve it.
In the long-term, though, this is troubling. Yes, I could buy more XD cards (which aren't cheap, but let's just go with this). I could decide that the 512 MB card is now dead, and the 1GB card somewhat damaged. I could restrict myself to only delete photos on the F30 itself.
However, this is a major disappointment, and very frustrating. I take hundreds of photos, and to go through them one by one, pressing 'delete, ok' for each of them in turn would be hugely time intensive (and draining on battery power, while travelling).
I would dearly love to find a way to do negotiate this - any ideas? It feels like this is a formatting issue, but I don't know for sure. Has anyone else used an F30 with their Mac? Any solutions?

Short answer: Empty the trash with the card reader connected to your Mac.
Longer answer: Deleting files is a two-step process - move the file(s) to the trash, then Empty the trash (Finder > File menu) to free up the space. The 'deleted' files are stored in an invisible folder (called .Trashes) at the root level of the drive/card the files were deleted from. Since the folder is invisible and the pics in it are not in the 'normal' file structure the camera expects, the camera does not see them. If you eject/unmount the drive, those files are not deleted. You must empty the trash with the drive/card connected. One thing you may note - if you have an empty trash can icon in the dock (i.e., you've emptied the trash without the card reader connected), then you connect the card reader with your 'borked' card, the trash can icon will change to a full trash can.
As a side note, I have a couple of Olympus cameras that use xD cards, I have some Olympus-branded and some Fuji-branded cards, up to 2 GB - all the cards work just fine with my MBP; I rarely connect the camera itself (can't even remember the last time) but I have used USB readers and now an ExpressCard reader.

Fujifilm Tethered Capture Plug-in for Adobe Photoshop Lightroom

Hi!
Today Fujifilm shared "Tethered Capture Plug-in for Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom®". And they shared only 1 exe file, which i can't open on my Mac=). I try open it on PC, but it can't open without HS-V5 ( i needn't it, because it work only on Windows)
They write:
To use "Tethered Capture Plug-in for Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom®" you need to purchase "Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom® 5".
*For customers who don't have the HS-V5, "FUJIFILM Tether Shooting Plug-in" will be able to be purchased at Adobe Exchange site."
So...i already purchased Adobe CC for photographers. I try find it in Adobe Exchange, but doesn't find it.
May be somebody know anything?
Or may be somebody knows about tethering future with fujifilm X-T1 in new Lightroom 6?

The current situation seems to be this:
You are licensed to use the plug-in on a Mac or a Windows PC if you have purchased and installed H5-VS software. Since H5-VS is only a Windows product the download for the plug-in is a Windows EXE because when you run that EXE it'll check for the H5-VS software installation and if it doesn't see it, it'll stop, so to be successful in extracting the Mac plug-in you have to use a Windows PC and have purchased some Windows software.
You can examine the contents of the LRPLUG.EXE by renaming it to something like LRPLUGIN.EXE.ZIP and opening it with 7ZIP; however, the contents aren't something where you can just extract and run w/o the license check.
The only way forward seems to be to purchase the H5-VS software and install it on Windows and then download and run the LRPLUG.EXE on that same Windows computer to extract the plug-in installers, and then run those on the appropriate platform.
However, the H5-VS software doesn't appear to be for sale, anywhere, although the Fuji people do seem to hint they will have a solution at some point in the near future--perhaps it is only available in Japan ATM.
Most of this information was gleaned from the download page for the plugin, here:
Tethered Capture Plug-in for Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom® (Windows 8 / 8.1 / 7 SP1, Mac OS X 10.7-10.10) | Fujifilm Glob…
Which is the page you get to after agreeing to the terms and conditions of downloading the plug-in from this page:
Tethered Capture Plug-in for Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom® (Windows 8 / 8.1 / 7 SP1, Mac OS X 10.7-10.10) | Fujifilm Glob…
The bottom line is that while the tethering plug-in is for both a PC and a Mac the licensing dependency is on a Windows-only program so the plug-in installers are contained within a Windows-only program and the missing link is how to acquire the required H5-VS Windows program to satisfy the licensing requirement for the plug-in packaging utility so it'll extract the plug-in installers for each platform.
From what the pages, say, there is also going to be a version of the plug-in available on Adobe Exchange that won't require having H5-VS already, I guess, but that is not available, yet, either, so lots of announcements, and mostly a lack of follow-through..

How to open Fujifilm X-E2 Raw files with CS5? [was:fujifilm Raw]

I'm using ps cs5 ,mac 10.9.2 , camera fujifilm x-e2 , the raw files doesn't open , i need your help , Please

Each camera model’s raw files must be supported individually and Adobe only updates their currently shipping products for new cameras.
The X-E2, being a new camera, was first supported in ACR 8.3 which is only compatible with CS6 and CC, not CS5.
Upgrading your PS to CS6 or CC or buying Lightroom are probably the best choices to allow native support for your X-E2 raw files.
You can also use the free Adobe DNG Converter 8.3 to create DNGs from your X-E2 raw files, and those DNGs will open in older ACR plug-ins such as ACR 6.x that comes with PS-CS5 but be aware you’ll need to set your conversation options to old enough that your ACR plug-in is newer. The default conversion level is ACR 7.1 which is too new.
The DNG Converter 8.3 is available from:

RAW files from my Fujifilm X-Pro1 open with a blank white box

I'm using an iMac running OS X (ver. 10.9.3) and the newest version of PhotoShop CC and have checked to see that the most recent updates are current. In working with RAW files from my Fujifilm X-Pro1 I am able to bring up a RAW (RAF) image from Bridge into the RAW application and make the changes I want. When I try to bring the image from the RAW dialog screen into PhotoShop however, I get only a blank white box. The image does not appear. Any suggestions?

Sorry, I can provide no solution but maybe you should also try
Adobe Camera Raw
Otherwise general trouble-shooting routines might be worth a try:

DNG files created from Fujifilm FinePix E-900 .RAF raw files

I'm having a problem in creating DNG files from my Fujifilm FinePix E-900 camera .RAF raw files on my Mac (Mac OS X 10.6.4). The DNG files are recognized correctly in Adobe software (Photoshop CS4, Bridge, Lightroom 3) but not by any Apple software (including Aperture 3.0).
I've used Adobe DNG Converter 6.1, Photoshop CS4, and Lightroom 3 to create these non-linear DNG files. As a point of reference, I've used the same settings to create DNG files from Kodak .KDC raws files that Apple also doesn't support, but these DNG files (created from the .KDC raw files) show up just fine in Aperture 3.0.
The one thing I find unusual about the .DNG files created from the Fujifilm FineFix E-900 .RAF raw files is that when I do a 'Get Info' on these files, the image dimensions of these .DNG files always shows up as 0 x 0. (The image dimensions should be listed as 3488 x 2616.)
So I'm wondering if there is something wrong (a bug maybe) on how these files are being converted to the DNG file format using Adobe DNG Converter 6.1, Photoshop CS4 or Lightroom 3 on a Mac.

Hi Frank, you need camera Raw 7.4 which is only available for PSE11. Consider upgrading or wait for PSE12 to be launched soon. If you regularly shoot raw try Lightroom with PSE10 as your external editor.
Alternatively, download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in PSE10 (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.1
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.1
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

Fujifilm Frontier ICC color profiles wont work on Mac

Downloaded the Fujifilm crystal archive ICC color profile for the Fuji Frontier minilab. This is for having my photo's printed through an online service that uses the Fuji Frontier and the crystal archive paper. I place the color profile that I downloaded in the System/Library/ Profile map as instructed. I also have my other color profiles in there. Then when I go to System Preferences/Color and want to select the profile I have just added it is not there. All my other color profiles are there but not the Fuji color profile. Anybody know why?
Help appreciated.
Thanks
Fred

What a dumbo I am.I did not realize that this is not a profile for monitors but for paper.

Camera Raw Chroma Smearing with Fujifilm X Series

I'm using Adobe Photoshop CS6 with an up-to-date Camera Raw version 7.3 to process raw files from my Fujifilm X-E1. As widely reported, ACR introduces obvious chroma smearing into the images that other software (SilkyPix, in-camera processing, iOS PhotoRaw) have no problems with. The workflow for PS CS6 is great, but ACR's buggy demosaicing algorithm continues to be a real problem with the latest version of ACR. Aside from using SilkyPix or other, does anyone know of any near term fixes for this problem until Adobe gets their act together on demosaicing Fuji's X-Trans sensor?
Our eyeballs all have rods and cones that are irregularly spaced and sparse, and we all can see just fine without a Bayer array in our eyeballs, so there's no fundamental reason why Adobe won't be able to fix this issue with X-Trans demosaicing. I just hope they get on the case with a fix for the next version of ACR.
Here's an example that anyone can recreate: ACR's chroma smearing is especially a problem for any text that appears in the image. The numbers on the boats below show chroma smearing when processed using ACR, but not with SilkyPix or other software. It's also possible to see the same problem using dpreview's studio comparison tool. The lens is a 35 mm f1.4 so this smearing at the image center certainly isn't any chromatic abberation from the lens.
Original image (35 mm f1.4):
1:1 crops:
ACR (version 7.3) versus SilkyPix (version shipped with Fuji cameras):

As you say it’s been “widely reported” and Adobe knows about it.

PSE12 slow loading Fujifilm files in slide show

I have just upgraded from PSE10 to PSE12 and now when I use the Slide show (full screen) in organizer with Fujifilm Raw files it take about a minute and a half to load up and same again when you zoom in. Is there any way of speeding this up in PSE12? It was slow in PSE10, but it did take over a minute in total.

To me also Reply #11 seemed key. But I think on first read through the significance of:
With the lossy compressed DNG (scene-referred), you can do all the normal edits you're accustomed to with raw: white balance, highlight recovery, changing camera color profiles, noise reduction, sharpening, lens corrections, etc. With the normal JPEG in DNG wrapper (output-referred), you cannot
had escaped me as it seems counter-intuitive - "lossy compressed" just sounds more image degrading than "normal".
The jpeg compression algorithm is generally used to compress image files like tiffs or psds. It is based on the fact that our eyes are much more sensitive to the luminosity than the colors, and that results in a 'simplification', not a 'degradation' of the data. Imagine you have a very detailed map of an island printed 1 meter x 1 meter. You want to print it 30 cm x 30 cm. You'll downsample the image so that you get a good 300 ppi picture : you simplify to discard all details your eyes could not see in the 30 x 30 print ; that is lossy in the sense that you discard the less meaningful bits of data.
Note that using the jpeg compression algorithm on the just demosaiced raw file is possible because you can process the luminosity and color information from that stage. At that stage, the 'jpeg' compressed data is still an undefined image unlike the usual output-referred jpegs. Another compression algorithm could have been used, with less visual efficiency.
Since the link I gave in this post, the new version of Lightroom has taken advantage of the lossy dng compression in a very smart way. Lightroom keeps a catalog and a preview file for quicker browsing on its library. Instead of using normal jpegs as previews, you can use lossy DNGs of about the same size. The advantage is that if the catalog and previews are stored in a computer and the library in another drive, you can edit the raw files and store the results in the catalog even if the other drive is not plugged in. When you plug the drive in, you can sync the parametric editing in the catalog to the real full size raw images.

I have a fujifilm X100, at first there were no issues viewing my RAW photos but now all of a sudden the pictures come up as "unsupported image format"

I have a fujifilm X100, at first there were no issues viewing my RAW photos but now all of a sudden the pictures come up as "unsupported image format". How do I fix this?

No, I did not do any updates between the time that the files were viewable and when they were not. I was actually without an internet connection for a few days when the problem started. I reported the bug to apple and have since been contacted by them asking for a few sample images so they can figure out the problem, so I'm hoping they come up with an answer for me.

Fujifilm RAF conversion to Adobe DNG images become "square pixel"? Any Idea?

I'am using Adobe DNG 8.3.0 on MacOS 10.6.8 to convert fujifilm XE2 RAF file to DNG, thus i can keep my RAW file and edit in LR, but the converted images show very obvious "square pixel"? what wrong? or the Adobe DNG not fully support Fujifilm latest RAF file yet?
Here is the sample of what i mean "square netted pixel":

Somewhere in the LR 4 series Adobe changed/improved how RAFs are converted. I think you’re using a really old LR without having set your DNG Compatibility options to old enough—something older than the default of ACR 7.1.
The pattern you’re seeing is from the old LR that expects the DNG Converter to have filled in all the extra pixels whereas the DNG Converter is using a new compatibility mode that tells it that LR can handle filling in the pixels itself.
