Last month, Alien Skin teased a new major workflow update for their Exposure X3 software.
What they didn’t tell you, is that this update will also add Fujifilm film simulation profiles to their already very extended list of presets.
Alien Skin says:
“Exposure now supports a greater number of Canon, Fujifilm, and Sony cameras and lenses. The update also adds 15 new presets that mimic the in-camera Film Simulations in Fujifilm cameras.”
I’m getting reports, that the Lightroom tethered shooting PRO plug-in for Fujifilm cameras works no more.
There is a dedicated thread about it on the Adobe Forum here, and Adobe said today:
“We are working with Fuji’s Add-on’s team on the plugin compatibility. I do not have a timeline as of now. We’ll update this discussion as soon we have a resolution.”
I asked the X-shooters experiencing this problem, if the new plug-in version 1.8 released by Fujifilm today fixed this issue, but here is what I have been told:
“No, unfortunately. I was really hoping it would too. I made sure that I updated everything and that the plugin was installed correctly, but that plugin appears to be exclusively for the GFX. Didn’t recognize my XT1 at all, even after ensuring everything from camera to software was updated.”
I know many of you guys rely on tethering to get your job done, so this is very annoying. Until Adobe and Fujifilm release a fix, I can only recommend a workaround by using Fuji’s free X Acquire tethering software.

And this is how FR-reader s.tb fixed this issue (thanks)
I had the same issue and find a workaround. I manually downloaded the file: FUJIFILM_Tether_Shooting_Plug-in_PRO_Mac_1.7.0.zxp and installed it with the ZXPInstaller from Adobe.

Regarding the new focus bracketing feature they write:
Each time the shutter button is pressed, the camera takes a series of photos, varying focus with each shot. The number of shots, the amount focus changes with each shot, and the interval between shots can be selected using ASHOOTING SETTING > FOCUS BKT.
Fujifilm just released Fujifilm GFX 50S ver.3.00 as well as firmware 1.10 for the Fujifilm H Mount Adapter G.

Addition of “Focus Bracketing” The update will enable the photographer to shoot focus distance bracketing up to 999 frames. When the photographer start shooting, the focal location is shifted with each activation of the shutter by the step of focus shift set from 1 to 10.
Addition of “35mm Format Mode” The update will enable the photographer to shoot central 36.0mm x 24.0mm (30.5M) cropped images as both JPEG and RAW files. When using 35mm format adapters, it will be easier to adjust the image size to 35mm format image circle lenses by changing the setting. It will also enable the photographer to use the Fn button for quicker setting changes.
