![]() ![]() However, if you are interested in what I think, then read on… I can only offer my opinion here, so if you are curious, I strongly suggest you try the trial version on your own images. I know that there are differences between all of these, but for the sake of comparison here, I think it’s sufficient to compare them as a group. So how does the quality compare to the other Fuji Processing options (except Lightroom’s default conversions)? Well, it’s not that straight forward a question, unfortunately, and it’s somewhat subjective.įor the purposes of this, I’m going to lump Lightroom’s Enhance, Capture One and X-Transformer in together in comparison to Pure Raw. The only setting that works properly with Fuji files and gives descent results is Deep Prime Compared to Other Solutions The HQ mode does work, but it’s atrocious, so son’t use it. The “Prime” setting doesn’t work with Fuji files, as they use the AI demosiacing in Deep Prime for a proper demosiac of Fuji X-Trans raw files. If you’re trying this out on Fuji Files, you need to use the Deep Prime setting. ![]() I could do a whole post on this on its own, but I thought I’d offer some overall points on how it compares to other Fuji processors in general.īefore I get to that, an important note about Fuji processing: Use Deep Prime for Fuji Processing ![]() Understandably there have been a lot of questions around the Fuji X-Trans processing, particularly about how it compares to other software and so on. Someone commented that one of the disadvantages compared to Lightroom’s “Enhance” function is that you can’t use “Super Resolution” - but you can! You can actually use the Enhance function in Lightroom on a Pure Raw processed DNG file to access super resolution, but the quality isn’t as good (in my opinion) as you get with doing this directly from the original RAW file. Note that if you have a large library, and this feature was turned off, it may take some time for all the metadata to update to disk when turned back on. You can also find it in the Photo Menu > Save Metadata to File. To manually save the data, it’s Command + S on the Mac or Ctrl + S on the PC. Previously it would update the XMP file every time you changed a slider, but now it only does it when you change images (in order to reduce the load on your computer) - so if you’re in the middle of editing a file and you decide to send the image to Pure Raw, make sure you either switch to the next image and back, or manually save the XMP data before you send the file over. Note that with a recent version of Lightroom they changed the behaviour of this function. Make sure the option to write changes to XMP is turned on. To make sure it is on, go to the Catalogue Settings (It’s not in the preferences, it’s in the catalogue settings) and then go to the metadata tab. The default behaviour of Lightroom is to automatically write XMP data to files, but many people turn this off because with older versions of Lightroom or older computers it can cause a slowdown. However for this to work properly, you must have the option to write XMP files automatically turned on, or you must manually save XMP data before sending the file over. You should be able to use the plug-in in Lightroom to send a photo to Pure Raw, and it will keep the develop settings you had applied when you sent it. ![]() General Tips Keeping the settings in Lightroom when you send an image for processingĪ few people had an issue with this one. So, I thought I’d try and address some of the key things people had questions about in this post. I had outlined a first look at the software last week, both here and on my YouTube Channel, and I’ve had lots of comments and queries on various aspects of the application. Ever since it came out last week, I’ve been getting lots of questions about Pure Raw 2. ![]()
