Capture One Opens Your Fujifilm GFX Files with This Hack!

Share

Capture One Vs. Lightroom (C1 Wins)
Comparing Capture One vs Lightroom on GFX50s file using RAF->DNG and manipulate EXIF-Data to PhaseOne IQ250 and no further editing. just opened as it is (lightroom zoom 1:1)

This little “hack” comes from our extremely active Fujifilm GFX facebook group, used already by several members like Jonas Rask, Chris Weiner and Sebastian Reinhardt.

You can open GFX files in Capture one with these simple three steps:

  1. Use Adobe DNG convert to batch convert RAF to DNG (no compression)
  2. Use something like Exif Editor to change camera name to “IQ250” (batch mode too)
  3. Open the files in C1, and you’re done!

This is NOT a captureOne Hack. But a RAF file hack.

(many thanks to Gary Tyson & Vladimir Kostka for their great support)

Below you see a screenshot of the settings that will allow you to use your GFX files with Capture One.

The GFX group is so active, I’m learning so many things about the camera. RAW files, Art Work, Tech Talk, Inspiration, Suggestions, Help… it’s all there, at our Fujifilm GFX community :)

And if all you want are news and rumors tailored to GFX only, check out our public GFX Facebook page.

Fujifilm GFX Technologies #3: Through the Glass of GF Lenses & More

Share

Through the Glass of GF Lenses

Fujifilm published episode 3 of their GFX technologies series, and this time it’s about the Lenses (epsiode 1 – Sensor / episode 2 – G-mount). Some excerpts:

  • The reason why we are introducing the new GF Lenses with the new GFX camera system is that the image quality of digital medium format can truly shine if the lenses are optimized for the latest (and future) technologies.
  • G Mount incorporates mirrorless technology and high-pixel-count CMOS sensor so that an ideal lens design could be realized.
  • The G Mount sensor has resolving power of that 4×5 large format with the mere size of 43.8×32.9mm. Rather than cropping the center of large format lenses, better images are delivered by optimal lens design for the image circle.
  • We put much higher cost and labor for GF Lenses than for that of a typical lens.
  • The GF Lenses can cope with a resolution up to 100MP. It means that the lens has a resolving power an image circle that is 4x larger than that of an APS lens. The MTF chart of GF Lenses comes with 40 lines per mm, which is higher frequency than 35mm format lenses, exactly our vision and goal for GF Lens performance.
