Hello Photographers,
I am fortunate to have to choose between an XE2 4.0 with 18-55 and a GX8 with 12-35. I have to sell one of them. Once in 10,000 shutter clicks, if I'm lucky, I have an image that I want to print. So I don't own a printer. I live in northern Minnesota where there are skilled printers but no one seems to be familiar with the X-trans sensor. I like the jpegs, as reportedly do many pros, from the XE2. I import them to Aperture on an iMac that is now eight years old.
I've had two professional printers print jpegs for me that are truly properly exposed. The Panasonic files come out just fine and the Fuji files seem to be a little off, close, but not quite right. I don't really have the knowledge to talk nerd with these guys and neither of them, as I said, knows of the x-trans sensor. So here are my questions, one specific, one very general. When importing x-trans jpeg files from the XE2 memory card onto my computer, do I need to use some kind of soft wear other than Aperture to eventually gain the best printed image possible? Are there other mysterious considerations with the X-trans sensor?
I'm leaning toward keeping the Fuji but I don't want it if the X-trans sensor is going to be an impediment when I finally want to print my masterpiece. Thanks for any insights.
Peter
