Title: Fuji X-Pro1 demosaicing problem
Post by: tintop on September 08, 2013, 03:34:17 pm

Has there been any final conclusion that the demosaicing problem with processing Fuji X-Pro1 RAW files has been fixed with LR5? On searching the archives, the recurring thought is that C1 is still better, but does anyone know if Adobe has actually done a fix?

TIA.

John

Adobe has significantly improved it since the original inclusion of the X-Pro 1 files in LR and ACR and for most purposes it is fine.

However it still isn't perfect and for some images I still have the smeered, painterly effect and find that C1 does a better job for those.

For 99% of my photos with the X-Pro1 though, I'm using LR for initial image rendering.

This is a useful comparison currently in progress:
