Will there be an improvement of X-Trans RAW Files Developing in Lightroom?

Hey, dear Ladies and Gentlemen of Adobe!
I am very upset because of your lousy support of Fujifilm X-Trans RAW Files Developing in Lightroom. I spent a lot of money to buy Lightroom. Now this Software is not useable to me because it handles RAW Files of my Camera (Fujifilm X-T1) very unsatisfying.
It is not just me, you can read it all over the Internet. The Fujifilm X-T1 is a state of the art camera and delivers very good Pictures, but why - in the name of god - is lightroom handling it so lousy?!?
You are forcing me to look for another Software. I have tried a lot apps the last few days. And EVERYONE has a better result but Lightroom.
Even the to be discontinued Aperture by Apple has a far better result of developing that raw files. A small one-man Company named "Iridient Developer" has the best result i have ever seen with all that apps! To name them:
I tried Aperture, Iridient Developer, Photoninja, AccuRAW, Capture One, SilkyPix 5, and a lot more. All of them are making better, sharper, crispier Pictures than Lightroom 5.5. Yes, i have the latest Version.
The Pictures are like painted in Watercolors. No Details, no fine Structures. I am heavily disappointed!
I do not expect to get an answer with a satisfying solution. You already have my money. Why care about customers?!?

  • Management of Fuji X-Trans RAW Files

    It would be really helpful if Adobe staff who monitor this forum could make a comment on work proceeding to improve the handling of RAW files coming from X-trans sensor cameras. I've recently started shooting a Fuji X-E1 along with my Nikon D3s and, while the jpgs are quite good, the RAW handling by ACR results in significant artifacts which limit the usefulness of Lightroom and Photoshop. While I understand that product development timing is uncertain, it would help the entire Fujifilm user community to know that Adobe was at least "working on it".
    Thanks!

  • Lightroom quality on x-trans raw files.

    I see a lot of complains on Lightroom's ability to decode fuji x-trans raw file.  Is it now getting better?

    LR adjusted for the foliage
    I am not sure we are providing good guidance to typewritter99. Developing a raw file is an interpretation by itself and it is the operator's choice to bring the emphasis on what the focus should be on the picture. You are focusing on a part of the picture that would represent less than half an inch by a quarter should we printed this on an 11x17 sheet of paper. Moreover, the area you are looking at is out of focus to start with.  Frequently we would throw parts of the photo out of focus to drive attention into the subject. Why are we trying to rescue it in the first place? What is it bringing to the overall picture? (and as you can see top left, it is not that LR does a worse job than Iridient).
    I mean.... this is the detail we are looking at in the context of full picture posted in the article (http://www.thevisualexperience.org/web/processing-x100s-raw-with-iridient-developer-part-2 /):
    The capture above was processed with Lightroom from the RAW file shared in the article... can you highlight any quality issues? Color bleeding, artifacts? I guess that was the point of the original question.
    I would certainly recommend typewritter99 to download the free trials of all available converters and test them to see which one fits his needs best from a holistic point of view. But in honesty I cannot personally say I find any quality issues on Lightroom when processing my X-E1 files.

  • Will the current plugins for Sigma DP1/2 RAW files work with files from the DP1/2 Merrill cameras? A

    Will the current plugins for Sigma DP1/2 RAW files work with files from the DP1/2 Merrill cameras? And if not, is Adobe developing plugins for these cameras?

    Not sure what plugins you mean, Hornet - Lr doesn't rely on plugins to read new cameras.
    If you mean the Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) plugin - that's for Photoshop, not Lightroom. Lr has the same functionality as ACR, but it's hard-coded into the program, so if you're looking for support for a new camera, you need to wait for a new version of Lr.
    And nobody here can say when Lr support for a given camera will happen.
    Hopefully someone with a Merrill will be able to chime in about whether its files work with the current Lr.

  • Will there be any improvements made to how Photoshop handles pixel dimensions on a Retina display?

    I'm a web designer and I still use Photoshop to mockup, to a certain extent the design of my websites. I find it frustrating however that when I make the mockup, it appears half-size in Photoshop. I have to double the size of everything to make it "appear" as it would in browser. Will there be anything done in future versions of Photoshop to make this a little less painful. I have to zoom in right now on normal sized templates which makes everything pixelated. It's annoying when you do this all day long. Maybe this has been discussed before. Sorry if I'm late to the party.

    I think I have a workaround: Make sure the clipboard settings are on 72 by cutting and pasting a 72 dpi file in PS, as it seems Illustrator images are seen that way, no matter what the output resolution is. Click on Photoshop and start a new document. It will retain the proportions of the Illustrator image in 72 dpi. Then open image size and make sure the resample box is checked. Change the resolution to the desired, in my case 200.. Then place and crop your photo, and save the PSD file. Open Illustrator and place the PSD file. This works for me.

  • Is there a way to edit the same RAW file in Aperture 3 and then Photoshop CS5?

    I recently got Aperture 3.4.5 and its been great for stream-lining my workflow.  But for certain RAW adjustments, like applying a gradient, I want to use Photoshop CS5's RAW editing window.  I don't seem to be able to export the file as a modified CR2 from Aperture to Photoshop CS5.  Is there a way to do this?
    And if exporting a modified CR2 from aperture is not possible, what advice can you give me for applying gradients in aperture, or in combinations with photoshop.  Is there a way to open a JPEG or TIFF in the raw editing window by any chance?
    Any and all advice welcome.  Cheers!
    -Mike

    Is there a way to open a JPEG or TIFF in the raw editing window by any chance?
    If you open Bridge and go into the Camera Raw Preferences, you will see a section at the bottom where you can set preferences for TIFF handling. Setting the option to 'Automatically open all supported TIFFs' will result in any TIFF file sent from Aperture to Photoshop via 'Edit with Photoshop CS5' function being launched in ACR and allow you to work on the TIFF file.
    You then have to open the image in Photoshop with the 'Open' button in ACR and save the file (making sure you have the TIFF file extension set when saving). I haven't used this in a while, but I think it may try to save as a '.tif' file which would not be seen by Aperture when you complete the save (and have a '.tif' file sitting in the Masters folder that has no connection).
    This is still not the RAW file - obviously - but will allow you to use the ACR tools on the TIFF file generated by Aperture and return it with those edits if saved correctly in PS CS5.

  • Will Canon 5d Mark III Raw files work with Lightroom 3

    I have just tried to upload Raw files from a Canon 5d Mark III to Lightroom 3.  The file were not recognised.  I believe there were some update issues but my Lightroom 3 is updated.  Do I need to get Lightroom 4?  I need to know urgently as I have a shoot tomorrow and will go back to my Mrk II if I can't get an update for Lightroom 3.

    LR3 DOES NOT support Canon 5D3, 1Dx, Nikon D800 or Nikon D4.
    Newer cameras wont work in it, and require LR4 for RAW processing (Tethering in LR4 STILL is not supported)
    However,
    LR4 is massively buggy, and slow to a point where it is practically unuseable for anything other than a handful of images to edit.
    Also, LR4 will not tether to the new cameras (for that, try ANY of the competing professional software, Aperture, Capture One - They work just fine)
    You can, convert your 5D3 files to DMG, and then open them in LR3 that way, or you can get LR4 and deal with it's massively awful slow issues that Adobe has still not resolved 5.5 months after launch, or you can use other software.
    Those are your options.

  • Fuji x-trans raw files import extremely slow

    WIn 7 pro 3.6 AMD quad core 16 gb ram 1.2 tb raid 0 WD Velociraptor drives. Lightroom 5.6
    I have a fairly quick system and my 24mp Sony raw files import and render full sized previews reasonably quickly -but it takes about 5x longer for my Fuji X-T1 raw files to import and render full size previews.  If I import into Capture One Pro 7 or 8 or into Photo Ninja both the Sony and the Fuji files import and render previews quickly. It is only Lightroom that is so incredibly slow with the Fuji raw files.
    I have used LR since version one and my files have always imported reasonably fast , however, the Fuji raw files have been slow to import from the very first import.  Ex - yesterday I imported 312 raf files (Fuji raw files) and it took 31 minutes to complete. I also imported 257 Sony raw files and the import  plus full sized preview rendering was completed in just under 5 minutes.
    Am I missing something in the preferences or import workflow?
    Thanks for any help
    BOb

    Thanks for the quick reply! :-)
    The setup is identical as when I work with my Nikon-files; I always start by "manually" copy the files from the memorycard to correct location/disk.
    In LR I use the "Add" option when I import to my catalog, so the file transfer is not part of the equation....
    Even the large files from Nikon D810 is faster to "add" than the files from the X-T1.
    But, as you write, it might come down to X-Trans-files (RAF) is not as optimal for Adobe processing as the Nikon raw files (NEF)...

  • Nikon D750 -  I need immidiatly the new Raw converter in Lightroom 5.6. There ist no possibility to import the raw files. It´s vitally important!!!!!! What time is the update?

    was nützt einem die schönste Raw Datei, wenn man sie im Adobe Workflow nicht einlesen kann.

    Hi,
    Currently there is no LR version available for Compaibility for Nikon D750,
    However there is the Beta version available for ACR 8.7, this should support the RAW files of the Nikon D750
    - Download Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw 8.7 Beta - Adobe Labs
    - http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2014/10/1366.html
    Or use the Camera Software to Convert to DNG or TIFF, that should work as well.
    Hope this helps.
    Hallo,
    Derzeit gibt es keine LR Version für Compaibility für Nikon D750,
    Allerdings gibt es die Beta-Version für ACR 8.7 verfügbar ist, sollte dies die RAW-Dateien der Nikon D750 unterstützt
    - Download Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw 8.7 Beta - Adobe Labs
    - http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2014/10/1366.html
    Oder verwenden Sie die Kamera-Software zu DNG oder TIFF, das so gut funktionieren sollte.
    Hoffe, das hilft.

  • Is there a way to keep images as RAW files when editing with Photo Shop ???

    The drawback I find with aperture is that when using photoshop as editor I cannot keep my raw files. They are converted to TIFFS...Is there a way that I can keep them in Raw????? Thanks!!

    Your original RAW files are still there in your Aperture library in your pictures folder. Or on an external hard drive if you are referencing them.... They are never touched, you are editing a 'version' of your original RAW file.
    When you export to PS Aperture creates a new 'version' of the original and exports that to PS. The file format that it returns to Aperture as, from PS, is controlled by you in Aperture preferences... > Export Tab > External Editor file format....
    You can have your pictures in the format you choose. But your original RAW's are untouched.
    Regards..... Gerry..

  • Will Adobe Album Support Canon EOS 1DmkII CR2 (Raw) files.

    Looking for an easy to use database to store some 30,000 + files but will Album recognize the CR2 file format?
    Thanks.

    I have Photoshop Elements 4 and it does not currently suppport CR2 format. It does support some RAW formats, but you need to go to the website www.adobe.com/raw to find a list of cameras for which they support RAW.

  • Will ps elements 5 read 32 gig of raw files straight from my Nikon D90

    New to Adobe help forum and a bit of a novice

    As long as you don't select the PSE 5 option to delete photos after downloading, PSE 5's downloader won't affect the contents of your camera's card.  Some people have reported that the PSE downloader doesn't reliably download raw files (but that won't delete files from your card). 
    As the other person suggested to you, can you can always connect the camera with a USB cable or insert the card into the computer's card reader, start Windows Explorer, navigate to the drive letter (under Computer) for the camera/card, and then copy the photos/videos you find on the camera to a folder on your computer (and then import to PSE using File > Get Photos And Videos > From Files And Folders).

  • Does anybody know if and when there will be a plug in for raw files from the Nikon D810? I have lightroom 4

    I am considering buying a Nikon D810 but I do not want to be waiting for ages for a plug in for it's RAW files on my Lightroom 4. Does anybody know if and when there will be a plug in? I presume the 8.5 plug in will not cover the cameras Raw file.

    There is no plug-in for Lightroom 4 that would ever give you support for the new camera. Lightroom does not use Camera Raw. Camera Raw is a plug-in for Photoshop and Photoshop Elements. If you want support for your camera in Lightroom you will need to upgrade to Lightroom 5, and then wait for the 5.6 update which should be available within next few weeks (unless Lightroom 6 is introduced). In the meantime you can use the DNG converter (version 8.6 RC) to create DNG copies of your raw images that you would be able to open in Lightroom 4.
