Capture One offers FREE Fujifilm RAW Converter for Fujifilm Users

FUJIFILM RAW CONVERTER

We just reported how Capture One is going to discontinue the free version Capture One Express on January 30.

But there is an alternative.

As pointed out to me by fellow FR-readers (thanks), Capture One is offering the FUJIFILM RAW CONVERTER (FRC) for Fujifilm users only.

As written in the Q&A section of Fujifilm here:

The Fujifilm RAW Converter (FRC) is a free version of Capture One, designed specifically for Fujifilm users. This provides a subset of the functionality available in the full version of Capture One.

As Capture One writes on their website here:

The Fujifilm RAW Converter is a complimentary version of Capture One, designed specifically for Fujifilm users. It offers a subset of the features available in the full version of Capture One. Please note this free version of Capture One does not include technical support.

Of course Capture One’s Fujifilm RAW Converter comes with limited featured compared the to the paid full version (although film simulations are supported). You can see the features comparison here.

How To

Capture One is not super clear on how to get access to this free version. But I have contacted Capture One and asked them how it works.

This is what they told me:

Once you access the free trial of the All in One Bundle (refer to this page to get it), the Fujifilm RAW Converter license will be available to you. You will then be able to switch from trial to the RAW Converter as described in this guide.

Make sure to cancel trial before the 3rd free month is over, to avoid being charged further.

Certainly Capture One is trying to make this a bit more complicated than necessary and they don’t really clearly advertise this free version, but given the direction Capture One has taken in recent times, this does not surprise me.

At least there is the FujiRumors community, who is always willing to help out ;)

Thanks so much guys!

UPDATE: In the comments it has been asked if the license is limited to a single camera (since you have to add the serial number of the camera). Capture One answered me this:

No, you won’t be limited to using files from only one camera model, you’ll be able to work with all Fuji cameras officially supported by Capture One. You are required to provide a serial number of the camera for verification purposes only

Message to Anonymous Source who Just Shared X100V Successor Rumors with Me – UPDATE

Share

To Readers: A few hours ago I received a message from an anonymous source. It came to me via rumor box, so I have no idea, who it is and how to contact it. My only way to contact the source is via FujiRumors. I hope you don’t mind, but making a public post is the only way to reach out to the source.

UPDATE: The source contacted me. Thanks a lot for that… and thanks to you readers for your understanding

TO THE SOURCE:

Thanks a lot for sharing the X100V successor rumors with me.

I’d love to ask you a few more questions, and also possibly exchange some information, but for obvious reasons I can’t do it publicly via FujiRumors.

If you want to have a more direct and confidential talk, here is what you could eventually do:

  • contact me via private message on Facebook, Twitter/X or Instagram
  • contact me via email at fujirumor@gmail.com (you can use a fake email if you want, but after 11+ years of rumor-blogging, I can guarantee you that you’ll remain 100% anonymous also if you’d decide to use your regular email)

If you decide to contact me, you can be sure that you’ll remain 100% anonymous.

If you decide not to contact me, feel free to keep using the rumor box if you want to share anything more. But if you want you can give yourself a nickname, so I can identify you thanks to it.

If you decide not to contact me via personal message and not to use a nickname, absolutely no problem. Feel free to keep using the rumor box 100% anonymously in case you want to share further information.

If we won’t be able to talk confidentially in private, for any eventual further communication with you I will share updates to this very same article.

Thanks again,

NOTE: to another source, who also contacted me today with X100V successor rumors, but this time using a nickname, the same is valid for you.

Capture One Express Discontinued

Share

Capture One just announced that starting January 30, 2024, Capture One Express will be discontinued and no longer be available.

The reason they give in the press release below is obviously just marketing talk nonsense.

Let me translate it for you in more direct words: “we want to make more money and therefore force happy Capture One Express users to upgrade“.

Capture One is really taking the wrong path lately.

Express is coming to an end

I was WRONG about Fujifilm X100V Successor – RUMOR CORRECTION

The X100V Successor – I Was Wrong

Long I have thought how to give you this information.

I thought: maybe I should give you some behind the scenes. Explain. Give you some context. So you would understand why I wrote what I wrote a few months ago.

But at the end of the day it all does not matter.

What matters is that what I told you from a beautiful spot in the Dolomites a few months ago, is now no longer accurate, hence wrong.

All I need to do now is to:

  • offer you my apology (which I hope you’ll be gracious enough to accept)
  • share a rumor correction

My apology is offered to you. Now I owe you the rumor correction:

We confirm that the Fujifilm X100V successor will come in early 2024. That’s rocksolid and I will never correct or change that rumor.

But, unlike we told you here, it will not come with a new lens. And that’s not a bad thing at all, considering that that lens has just been updated with the X100V, so it’s definitely a modern lens.

That’s it. I’ve done it.

Oh…

one more thing.

In the recently “leaked” list of Fujifilm gear (that contains many errors), one of the specs listed was that the X100V successor would also have OIS (optical image stabilization). Since the X100V successor will have the same lens of the X100V, this means that it won’t have OIS.

There are still many more corrections to be done to that list. Here are the ones done so far.

Don’t forget to…

I FEEL LUCKY AND WILL CLICK THE LINKS BELOW TRUSTING I WILL FIND THE X100V IN STOCK
