I've never thought of using it like this. I always had an issue trying fuji x weekly recipes but now I can test them at home to see what I like. I have thousands of raw files.
Awesome tutorial! Loved the video format, very clear and educational. I had no idea about this software, thank you so much for showing and teaching it! Will certainly make my recipe creation much easier and enjoyable! Cheers!
For anyone wondering why the app sends the image to the camera and has the camera do the processing, I suspect it's because that makes it accurate to how the images will appear on the camera if you use those recipes. Instead of having to replicate the camera's image processing in the app's code (uniquely for every camera and firmware combination), they simply let the camera do the work. There's also the possibility that if they were to replicate the processing in the app, they would potentially make it easier for other companies to reverse-engineer the processing code. It's my understanding that the designers of modern ROM chips for devices like this go to great lengths to make it difficult to read the code out of the chip after it's written. As a programmer, DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) is a very important principle. It makes code much easier to maintain and significantly reduces bugs by not including the same code in multiple places. Since the code they're using for in-camera processing would be designed for the embedded processor of the camera, I expect they wouldn't easily be able to reuse that same code in the raw app, so they'd be re-implementing the code by hand for every camera and every firmware version. That's a big no-no. I'm only guessing, of course, and I have no real experience with high-end embedded programming like this, but it's interesting to speculate.
I do wonder if it’s a combination of like you say not needing to duplicate work, but also the fact that they can keep their colour processing under wraps, if they made desktop app with the formula in, the competition would mine it very easily. Whereas on their own locked down camera chips it’s a lot harder. Funnily the only reason the website gives is so that you don’t need a good laptop or anything as the camera does the heavy lifting
I know I'm late to the party on this video but seriously this is the most helpful TH-cam video I've seen in a long time. I had no idea this was even an option! Thank you :)
Hi, thank you very much for this tutorial, these days I have been playing around with this project and I am happy to have found instructions on how to proceed.
Great video! I didn’t know about this app… I was planning to load a group of RAW files onto an SD card, put it into the camera (same X100V that took the shots) and then tweak internal settings, do RAW conversions, and continue with trial and error until I got what I’m looking for. This app is going to speed up the process considerably.
Subtle recipes work best, if you're not going to go spec to purpose like old film being rated D for daylight, T for tungsten etc. What I find is best is generally letting the kelvin value create the most of the mood of the image. Certain simulations respond very differently in cold balances compared to warm ones. For example: Chrome at 4500k or 4800k neutralises it's muddiness and turns the greenish sky blues into a strong royal blue.
Great tutorial! I've wanted to mess around with the profiles but it's really hard to find good adjustments when you're out shooting, much better to do at home.
this is so helpful and so amazing! Is it possible to save, lets say, 10 recipes on the PC rather than the camera (to use it as a library sort of) and then apply them to my camera? I only own an X-S20 but am limited to 4 custom slots and I want to experiment a bit and love to store the ones I like. This way I could always sync the top 4 of the moment via this software. Which would be AMAZING.
im pretty sure you can! you can definitely save more than the camera can hold on the software! no idea what the limit is but I must have about 10 at the moment
I have noticed that the most pleasing result for Fujifilm cameras is to use Classic Chrome with Auto WB and +2, -4 color shift. That's all. Gives very nice results day and night, sunny or overcast.
Class Chrome for ever! Like you recipe, may need to play with my xs10 and set up some looks especially for family photos when they visit and dont have time to edit RAW photos to give them.
Great video 👍, kindly on the other hand would you be kind enough to share your video setting, are you using Fuji xt4? What picture profile or Flog? What luts you use or your process for color grading?! Your video quality is insane, I have fuji xt4 but not yet getting results like your video quality? I appreciate if you do a video explaining your video settings and color grading process. Thanks in advance.
This might be really disappointing! I think it’s all in the lighting etc rather than my camera set up. This is what I do: - 4k / 24p - All-intra 400MBs (this video is actually long gop 200MBs as I knew it would be long and I might run out of space - Provia simulation - everything else on default so no recipe applied - edited in final cut; all I do is raise the shadows slightly, and drop the highlights
Thanks so much for getting back on this. Really appreciated. I hope you think one day soon about doing a video explaining your video process. Thanks again.

@@feydanmedia if you google it, it’ll come up, website is like “fujilim-loan”. You have to pay a deposit that’s like 50% of the value that’s then refunded on return
@@brayc08 worth noting it remembers the camera though, so if I make a recipe on the application with my X-H2S connected, and save it to the application, if I plug in my X100V I can’t see it!

It’s mainly connivence of completely skipping the editing stage. For me it’s more about speed, and sometimes I just don’t want to edit my photos. Hope that helps

Thanks so much mate, this video was gold and exactly what i needed 👍
Glad you liked it!

there is no camera profile menu with x-t30 :"

Still waiting for X100V to arrive but I will give it a try when I have it. Thanks a lot. That is a very helpful video. (:
This might be the most helpful fujifilm tutorial i've ever seen! Thanks a lot :)
Really enjoyed this. Super helpful. Downloading that software now.
Thank you! It’s surprisingly good!
Hi, thank you very much for this tutorial, these days I have been playing around with this project and I am happy to have found instructions on how to proceed.
With NR at -4 it is still applying some NR to the image.
Ah awesome! Top tip!

Really good, Goughie. Many thanks.
exactly the video i was looking for; thank you!
Got more out of this video than the last 5 Fujifilm videos (from other hosts). Well done.
Thanks for this guide 🙏🏻

Maybe a good thing to add is that this only works on newer fujifilm cameras.
agree

Another interesting option is setting clarity to 0 for the shooting and change it later at home to avoid camera delay.
Super helpful video, thank you!
Huge help to a new Fuji user - thanks!
I would love to test out a FUJI camera one day, I love the colours they produce.
If you’re U.K. based they have a free 48 hour hire scheme! Basically any camera / lens they make

Yes! You can save on either
