Available: Adobe Camera RAW 8.4 with X-T1 and Fuji’s film simulation support
Adobe Labs released the latest prerelease version of Camera Raw 8.4 RC and DNG Converter 8.4 RC Now here. No equivalent Lightroom RC for now.
It now supports, not only the X-T1, but, as a trusted source told us in January also Fuji’s film simulations. Read more at the Lightroomjournal here..
Added Camera Matching color profiles (PROVIA/STANDARD, Velvia/VIVID, ASTIA/SOFT, MONOCHROME, etc.) for the following Fujifilm cameras:
The first feebdack comes from soundimageplus here: “finally, a much improved demosiacing algorithm that eliminates the smearing / watercolour problem with foliage in particular and in fact produces extremely nice raw conversions within Photoshop without the need for additional software.”
However, FR-readers can’t confirm the improved demosiacing until now. MJr said: “Well i guess soundimageplus just ASSUMED the demosaicing has improved and went straight to the comparison with Noise Ninja, not knowing it’s actually the VERY SAME algorithm as before. NO CHANGE AT ALL aside from the color presets (not that this isn’t quite awesome already!). What i did notice however is that the X-E1 renders a somewhat poorer image than the X-E2 or X-T1 raws do. So i’m guessing he simply discovered ACR/Lightroom already does a decent job with current bodies, most of the time.“
As always, download, test and share your finding… some of you may also be able to test it on the new X-T1.
