Thank you for making something like this, I definitely struggle with post processing photos and have thought of only using X Raw to get the look and workflow with minimal touch ups on LR. This video is a confidence booster in workflow confidence.
This is awesome! I've never thought about leveraging X Raw in that kind of way. This definitely emphasizes the potential that one can get out of these film looks in an efficient way. 📷
Finally an x raw video made by someone with good tips and advice! A lot of the videos about there are so super basic it feels the creator just threw it up to draw some viewers. I really appreciate the tips here. Thanks a lot!
This is a fantastic video and very helpful - crisp and concise! While I am waiting for my XT-50 to arrive, I am checking out videos that I use for my workflow. I also use Lightroom for basic corrections, etc. but I was looking for a video that shows how to do some "recipe" like changes on raw images after they were taken and your video showed up! Basically, I want to apply "Kodak Portra 400v2" or "Kodachrome 64" recipes on raw images as I didn't do that on camera which would have generated JPG files. It seems like I can do that using Camera X Raw Studio. I could be wrong but I am hearing that you have to connect your camera to the laptop to do that. I guess I am missing some steps here. If you could explain that, I would appreciate it. All in all, wonderful video. Thank you! I am subscribed.
Thanks for subscribing, glad you found this useful! If you have a "film recipe" that is a set of film simulation settings, you can use X Raw Studio to apply that. You need to set your camera to "USB Raw Conv" mode and connect your camera to your computer using the USB cable. Then, you'll be able to review the RAW files you have, update their film simulation settings, and convert the RAW images to JPG. Hope this helps.
Thanks for this vid. Just wish X Raw Studio to implement cropping and straightening features. I was surprised it is not there. Sony or Nikon's raw file editors include these tools.
Agreed. I often re-import the JPGs back into Lightroom to apply cropping, upright, etc. before exporting the final image. If I plan on doing this, I often leave noise in X Raw Studio off so that the crop factor doesn't impact grain size, and so that I can fine-tune the noise in Lightroom too.
Just bought my first camera in 12 years and it's a Fujifilm. I was wondering how best to handle all the images I'm about to capture and this is the answer. 👍 I wonder if you get to a point where your custom setups are so good that you don't need to edit RAW files anymore.
These days I am always taking photos in RAW. It gives me room to move the exposure, modify color balance, etc. after the fact. Shooting in RAW lets me save at least 10% of photos that would have been a mess straight out of camera due to high noise, non-ideal lighting, etc. But I think a lot of people are perfectly happy with just using film simulations, especially if they are focusing on travel snapshots.
Fujifilm implements each Film Simulation with support for specific cameras and sensors, and the company tends to roll out support for more film simulations to their newer cameras. It gets a bit confusing so I go to this blog post, which has more info on which cameras support which looks: amateurphotographer.com/technique/camera_skills/a-guide-to-film-simulations-on-fujifilm-cameras/

I feel the same way - in the past I had a tough time getting to an end result I was happy with. Glad to hear my video helped you!

you are a beast! Thanks a lot my brother
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks!
nice video and well narrated. Raw studio is often ignored by the most 😊😊
Thank you, I appreciate the kind words!

Hello, wondering why Camera Profile Custom is available on my X100V but not my. XT3, thanks for your help.
