Poor raw conversion from Fujifilm X100 .raf format in Lightroom 3 and 4

I'm seeing very poor results when doing raw conversion from Fujifilm X100 .raf format. Who can I contact about this? Is there anything I can do?
See below for what is supposed to be a white curtain, lit by stage lighting. It results in a blown out blue channel, serious loss of detail, and very ugly gradient.

And for more detail:

(Lightroom 4.2, Camera Raw 7.2 on LEFT --- Fujifilm X100 in-camera jpg on RIGHT)

The blue light is so intense that it is, or almost is, saturating the sensor.
The camera’s built-in raw conversion handles this by shifting the color to cyan—clipping the blue and allowing the green to contribute more.  I doubt there was cyan lighting in the scene, only blue.
Adobe does not shift the hue, but this makes the blue seem over saturated.  Adobe’s conversion may be more colorimetrically correct, but less pleasing in this case of intense lighting that the sensor cannot accurately record.
It is a difference in camera profile used between the camera and Adobe.  Since Adobe does not supply camera-match profiles for much more than Nikon and Canon cameras, you’re not going to be able to fix things other than managing the over-saturation using HSL or WB or other things like lower-vibrance, higher saturation. 
You could try making your own camera profile using an X-Rite Color-Checker Passport or the color-checker and the Adobe DNG Profile Editor:

    Are Raw Files from Fujifilm X-E1 supported? If not, when will they update the list

    The list of supported RAW formats is here:

    The answer to your question is currently "no."  Nobody here can say if or when that will change.

  • RAW files from Fujifilm X10, why have I lost the ability to import after last RAW file update?

    When I first installed iPhoto '11, it would not accept imports of RAW files from Fujifilm X10, then when doing an RAW file compatibility update in around April 2013, I could then import X10's RAW files, but when I did the latest RAW file combatibility update about a week ago, I now seem to have lost this ability, WHY? How can I restore this feature?

    For what I understand:
    The problem is that the update applies to the IOS not the software itself (iPhoto or Aperture) so rolling back is almost impossible.
    Meanwhile the most effective way is to send feedback requesting the update:

    Hi there, I need to be able to read raw files from an Olympus Stylus 1 via CS5 and Lightroom 4.  I have downloaded Raw file plug-in v 6.7.1 but still can't read the files?

    Read this table http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    The Olympus Stylus 1 was first supported in Camera Raw 8.3 which is only compatible with CS6 and CC.
    It is not compatible with CS5 or older and never will be.
    If you do not want to upgrade to CS6 or CC then you can dwonload the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all Stylus 1 Raw files to DNGs then edit the DNGs in CS5.

  • I can't see previews of RAW images from a Canon PowerShot G16 in Lightroom 4

    I can't see previews of RAW images from a Canon PowerShot G16 in Lightroom 4?

    For that camera, you need at least Lightroom 5.2. The alternative would be to use the DNG converter, version 8.2 or later. Or, you can upgrade to Lightroom 5.

  • Opening raw file (.raf) from Fujifilm x100s with Elements 10

    Hi -
    I am unable to open .raf files created by my new Fujifilm x100s camera. I have PSE 10. According to Help --> Updates, I have the most current versions of everything installed. My ACR Version is 6.7.0.339.
    I see references tro Adobe Camera Raw version 7 but it looks like that version is not compatible with PSE10, only PSE11.
    Sticking with PSE 10, what is the latest version of Adobe Camera Raw that I can use and that will support opening .raf files from the Fuji x100s? I'm afraid to attempt installation of ACR 7 without assurancesd that it will work with PSE10.
    Thank you for your help,
    Frank

    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:

  • Aperture 3 Raw conversion from Nikon D700 - Bad results - Anyone?

    I recently upgraded to a Nikon D700 and have noticed I am getting some really bad conversion results from my raw files which involve my having to do a lot of work to get decent images. Most images are too dark and with strong orange cast... Any ideas? I thought it might be the camera, so I tried another computer with photoshop raw converter and images are fine. I have noticed the original import settings are strange on Aperture but cannot seem to change them, they always revert back to maximum hue boost and max boost ect... Any help would be great! thanx!

    I have a Nikon D700 and have just tried the Aperture demo- same results as you guys, disappointing RAW conversion. Contrast and sharpness quite poor and blues are 'off'
    I currently use Capture NX and was looking for something a little less 'clunky'. Though it may not be as slick as Aperture, its RAW conversion is spot on (as you would expect from a Nikon sponsored app)
    It's easy to compare the differences- open an unedited RAW file in Capture NX and save as an uncompressed, 16 bit TIFF. Import this and the original RAW file into Aperture. Prepare for disappointment :-/

  • RAW conversion from within iPhoto '08

    Am I missing something, I am trying to make iPhoto '08 a part of my RAW image workflow. However I am not seeing how to convert the RAW (NEF Nikkon) to a jpeg format to push to the web. I have looked at the help function of iPhoto and the only thing mentioned is "iPhoto simplifies the RAW workflow by combining RAW editing and JPEG conversion into one step." What is this step?

    My '08 is on order, so I may be wasting your time. Howeve, in iPhoto 6.0.6, what you want to accomplish is done by going to "File - Export". You will then see a screen that gives you the options to export as original, jpeg, tiff, or png, or to send to web page, iphoto2gmail (if you have the plug-in), palm export, or quicktime. You also can of course choose the location - desktop, web page, or whatver. I use RAW with my Nikon D200, and my workflow, for photos that I REALLY like, is:
    1. iPhoto
    2. Export (or drag) RAWS to a desktop foler (PHOTO 1)
    3. Process with Nikon Capture (general area RAW processing)
    4. "save as" either tiffs or jpegs (depending upon quality desired) into a second desktop folder (PHOTO 2).
    5. import back into iPhoto (as jpeg or tiff)
    6. Edit in external editor (Photoshop Elements) from iPhoto (healing brush for runny noses of grandkids, etc)
    7. Save back to iPhoto
    8. If desired, delete RAW from iPhoto to free up space, unless you think you will process it again.
    I am really hoping that that the '08 edition does not radically change this. It has taken some effort, and a Nikon Shool course, to figure it out .

  • Lightroom does not read DR data from Fujifilm X100

    NB this also applies to ACR.
    If I use the Auto DR setting on my Fujifilm X100, and that then chooses DR200 or DR400, the raw files are underexposed by 1 or 2 stops respectively when Lightroom imports them. Apple Aperture however reads the DR data and adjusts accordingly. Will Lightroom/ACR be fixed to do the same?

    I am not too familiar with the Fujifilm X100, but it might be worth checking if under Camera Profiles Lr includes profiles for DR200 and DR400. For old Nikons it includes 3 profiles for Camera D2X Modes 1 to 3, plus other profiles for other settings under Picture Controls.
    P.S.: I know somebody is bound to say that when you shoot RAW this does not matter.

  • Formate Conversion: From Reports to Msword Format

    Hi all
    I am using oracle 9i reports. I generate one report and the out put in rtf format. when run this report and get the out put in file and can see by double click on it and its going open in Msword automatically. my problem start when i run this report from the forms using the run_report object and then suing web.show_documents to see the report in word. its working fine but every time it ask me the editor where i have to open this file. so i have to select Msword then its open. My all users can not do this one. so is there any way that it should be open automatically with out asking.
    here is my code
    WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||substr(v_rep,instr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1)|| '?'||'server=' || :global.reportserver,'_blank');          
    and in my report object property i have set all the property that the format is rtf
    Thanks

    I believe that is not possible. When getting a RTF document from a web site, Internet Explorer always asks you if you want to open or save the file. The file cannot be viewed directly in IE. That has to do with the fact that MS Word has to convert the RTF file first before it can be displayed.
    There may be IE plugins on Internet that can directly view RTF files in the browser, but I'm not sure.
    Another option is to use PDF instead of RTF. PDF can be viewed directly in the browser.

  • Transfering raw files from one computer to another after LightRoom selection

    Hello,
    I'm trying out lightroom and love it so far. One quick question. If my assistant makes a Collection for me to work on later, how can I get the RAW files from that collection to work them on a different computer. I looked at the export option but it's only JPGs or DNF, and I want the RAW files. Can she export the RAW files for me? How?
    Thank you in advance

    Thanks for your info. I'm a bit confused.
    Don, if she exports the XMP sidecards I still need to have all the original files on my machine, and then filter accordingly correct? I only want to bring to my machine the Good Files. I don't want to waste time with the bad ones.
    What do mean by letting her access both?
    Harrison, are you saying to export the whole collection as DNG files and burn it onto a CD or something so that I can bring it into my computer? I'm not sure what you mean by letting my assistant "import them into the library on her computer" did you mean "my" computer?
    Also right now I use bridge and I sort pictures by date created (multiple cameras) and then rename them with a prefix starting with 001. Can I do this in LightRoom.
    Thanks again for all your help.
