Iridient Transformer, Photoshop... even Darktable. Do you do the roundtrip thing back to Lightroom?
Lightroom is a software I got used to for years. Maybe there's a point to move to Capture One. But Darktable is too raw itself with extremely uncomfortable usability ;)
Lr sucks!!!!! Iridient is a Russian Roulette, Darktable ehh. Photoshop still works but with files coming from Capture One. Capture is robust
Why do you have a keyboard with a Russian layout? So unusual :)
hi, great video.... is there the same difference in quality for sony file? thanks
@@lucaraimondo5967 Lightroom handles Sony files better than fuji. Capture One handles Fuji files better than Lightroom.
Yes for capture one tutorials
Yes, we need more Capture One tutorials (coming from LR). Thanks.
Just look on youtube, there are tons of videos on C1. I switched to C1 early this year, I probably never switch back, C1 is simply better, but it has its learning curve, thus a lot of tutorial watching is required.
@@janric06 how do you feel about library management? I can probably deal with the learning curve but I'm worried about how to manage my library especially with LR CC giving me cloud storage.
@@alvinpatrick About cloud storage, I cannot really tell. My upload is so bad, it would take over a month to get it there. I use locally a NAS, and USB drives. About library, it took a while but now I love the C1 style. You can create catalogs, which is kind of the ones from LR. But in addition to that you have sessions. The difference, well, imagine the session like a catalog, but self contained. You have a folder for imported photos, then you can go through them, correct them, and you can select them (moves the photo to another subfolder "selected") or delete them (more photo to a "session trash" subfolder). Then you can generate your outputs ("output" subfolder, with more subdirectories as you please, the output recipes define all that). My way of working is that at home, I use a main catalog. But away (on laptop) I use sessions. I can already start working on photos, select/delete, tag... everything. Then at home I can simply import the session(s) into my main catalog. And if I took care to have the same dictionary of tags on my laptop and home computer, I even keep tags. It is such an efficient way to work.
It takes time to understand, and to know how you want to work, but it is highly configurable and very powerful. After watching several lesson videos, and playing around I really got to love it. As for the cloud, you'd probably need to check for dropbox or similar.
Yes, capture one tutorials. I would love to see your workflow from sd card, edit then storage.
Your explanations are always succinct and on the money. I really appreciate that you design these Fast Friday videos with a great deal of respect for people's time! Thank you!
I changed in 2015 from LR to C1 and I have never regretted it with my Canon and my Fuji since C12. It took me 6 months of apprenticeship and a few webinars at Capture One to master the software. Thank you pal2tech for your videos.
@pal2tech - I am new to both FujiFilm cameras and Capture One. Your videos have been an irreplaceable resource for me to help me use each to their fullest potential. I am still learning, so keep the great videos coming!
You should try other settings for sharpening:
Amount = 80-125
Radius = 0.7-1.0
Detail = 0-10
Masking = to your needs/likings
I made a preset with that settings so it speeds up the all things. And results are very close if not the same as Capture One. But I am not a pixel peeper...
I am too trying Capture One this days. I like it a lot, but not sure yet if I will switch. Differences aren’t that big in picture quality, it’s different, but not necessarily better or worse IMO... 😉
And people are too obsessed with sharpening, it’s ridiculous this days... 🙃
Yes, as a longtime Nikon shooter/Lightroom user I recently made the switch to Capture One when I moved to my current Fuji system. I would say that I still give a slight (very slight) nod to Lightroom in regards to asset management, but a lot of that is just learning curve and slight tweaks to my workflow. Otherwise, I love it! The control I have over colors is crazy and it seems to get better with each version not to mention how well it handles my Fuji raws.
This is the best answer that I’ve found. I love my new XT4, but as someone who edits on Lightroom mobile on an iPad Pro, it was super disappointing to find out how poorly Lightroom handles the RAW files. I can import them on mobile, and edit them, but the JPEG version looks so much better. I guess I’m stuck shooting in JPEG for the time being. As a new Fuji user, thanks for all your tutorials. I’ve learned so much.
Well demonstrated as usual, Chris. Would love to see CaptureOne tutorials. It’d be great to be able to learn alongside you!
Another short succinct and informative video. Thanks. Love your clear explanations.
I'd love to see a full workflow video that goes through your lightroom settings, import settings, and how you process your files normally (sharpening, etc). The fuji files process a bit differently than my Canon files. Example: setting daylight white balance in lightroom is always a bit green now.
GREAT information! Thank you!
I went for the Iridient transformer method as I've been used to the software for a few years now and with the additional editing in PS too. I do agree, captureone is superior and you get all the info from the raw photo. Keep up the Fuji vids! They're fantastic and full of useful information. I always refer to them whenever I'm trying to work out what to do with my XT-3!
Excellent video, really to the point and clear!
Just discovered this channel and its a gold mine. Precise and useful information delivered in shirt videos from a really knowledgeable perso. Cheers from Tahiti keep it up
Welcome aboard! Thank you so much and cheers to Tahiti!!! Man, I wish I was there right about now.
Camera + software tutorials? It is getting better and better. Thank you. Have a great weekend!!
Thanks for the comparison Chris! Glad I've chosen Capture one!
Thank you, very informative. I recently started using Capture One instead of Lightroom just because the problems you mentioned. Very happy with the results so far.
Love your videos sir! Super clear 🙏
Great. I’m happy to hear that. So I’m waiting to follow your tutorial on capture one. I’m sure your videos will better than others since your tutorials on Fujifilm system is the best in TH-cam I believe.
So helpful! Thank you so much!
Coming from you, I'm certain Capture one tutorials will be awesome. YES to that!
Great video once again Chris. I always wanted to move to Capture One because of this worming problem in Lightroom, however, I do a lot of HDR and Panorama stitching in Lightroom. As far as I’ve seen Capture One does not have any built in pano or HDR processing abilities. That’s holding me back from the full switch. Capture One certainly processes the Fuji RAW files better hands down.
Thanks for the explanation
Great video thanks for sharing
I am in the process of switching from Lightroom to Capture one and without doubt as a Fuji user the Image from Capture one is superior with no worm like artifacts as you have shown in this video. I put of switching to Capture one thinking it would be difficult to learn this new editing software but i was pleasantly surprised that you can configure settings to be very similar in use to Lightroom hence making the switch so much easier.
Great video just getting started on Fuji raw files so this was really informative, thanks a bunch!👍🇦🇺😎
Yes please for Capture One tutorials and techniques! I ditched all Adobe and switched to Capture One and Affinity Photo 2 years ago and am very happy with the results of my Fuji X-t3 Raw file post-processing in Capture One.
YES please do more tutorials on capture one and Iridient !!! Great explanations
Yes on the Capture One tutorials! Thanks.
Need some capture one videos for sure brother. Have a amazing weekend as well.
Def needing Capture One Tutorials.
I have my whole workflow set on Lr, so I'm not planning on moving to Capture (for now at least). My strategy now is to do all the Culling and first edits straight on Lr. Then do some more culling and use the Enhance details on the selected files. Only then I'll work on the sharpness. But yeah 150mb raw files hurt!
Thanks for that, looking forward to seeing your Capture One tutorials 😉 cheers, Scottish🏴 Dave in Turkey 🇹🇷 😎🤙🏻
Thanks for another excellent video. I am a long-time LR user and Fuji user for about 10 years now. I've never been too fussed about this issue even though it's been well publicized for a while now. After our last big trip, to Australia, I passed my Fuji RAF files through DxO first before processing in LR Classic - essentially doing a Pure Raw. One issue with this, for my workflow, is normally I process all my photos through LR Mobile allowing me to cull the images and do some initial editing and posting a few online and to friends. Why I have DxO as well as Adobe? An offshoot of having used JIK since its inception. Stay well and keep up the excellent work.
A big YES on Capture one tutorials!
well explained...thank you
Yeah, C1 tutorials sound great! There is no doubt it is a superior tool for Fuji RAW files. I my self love the C1, took me some time to get used to new workflow, but it has all the tools you need for a great edit.
YES! Finally capture one tutorials!!
You are the best in explaining this thing 👏👏👏
Thank you Haitham!
People use to talk about this as if it was something you notice right away from tweking the picture, but it looks like its one of those things only photographers would notice (after fully zooming). I will have to stay in lightroom. Thanks for the wonderful comparision.
Yes on the tutorials :) (photoshop/Lightroom user here definitely will consider capture one if it can help workflow since just recently got a x-t30 fuji camera).
Thanks for the tutorials so far in fujifilm cameras it helped tons getting back into photography :)
Pretty good explanation. A capture one tutorial would be nice
Absolutely yes, for Capture One tutorials. I've been using it since the trip to Disney World, but definitely not at its full potential.
I used to have an XT2 and Lightroom was awful for processing my Fuji files, sad to see this still hasn't been fixed. Capture one on the other hand was amazing.
yes for the capture one tutorials
Wow. I had no idea about the Fuji worms in LR. This has been enlightening.
I just switched from Lr to C1. Also testing affinity photo as a PS alternative. Nice video.
Thanks that will help me much
If C1 offered a way to organize images, I might consider making the move. However, I found that the differences that C1 makes over LR, aren't significant. I recently tried Irident X-Transformer, and it does a great job of sharpening Fuji RAF files (if you are interested in improving sharpness). I tried an edit using all three methods, LR Enhanced, C1 and Irident, and the file sizes went like this: LR Enhanced= 120MB, C1=25MB, Irident= 71MB. Images were shot with a Fuji X-T2. Even though I don't use the full Adobe subscription photo Apps (98% LR), I like being able to access PS when heavy editing is desired. C1 costs the same as Adobe Creative Cloud.
Michael Schmitt Try an image with foliage. C1 wins way over LR. But the workflow in C1 is terrible! I end up going back to LR after rendering the RAW files just for organizing.
C1 does organise images and it's a very powerful tool, just needs time to learn it, and once it clicks it's easy.
Hi Chris it’s been over two years since you made the video. In the meantime has there been any improvement in Lightroom regarding the worms issue?
Personally I believe that Adobe have indeed improved X-Trans processing since then
@@dingbat19 I still think, Adobe does a terrible job with Fuji when taking Nature Images.
yes please more videos about workflow after shooting. ❤
This is nice review!
Thank you so much!!
@@pal2tech i have one concern I’m using version 20 of Capture one and I think I click something else and the format is just like the Express. Im trying to figure out but its different “workplace”.
You cleared my doubts
This is interesting. I was just about to buy a Fuji X-T4 to replace my Nikon DSLR, and watched probably a half dozen reviews of the Fuji camera. Not one made any mention at all of this issue with LR vs Capture One. Now I have to decide if I feel like learning Capture One on top of leaving the familiar Nikon camera. -- I'm super glad to have seen this, so thank you!
You are most welcome! I just received my X-T4 and will be doing a complete and comprehensive video review of that camera. It's a huge review so will probably take at least a week or so but I am looking forward to testing it out and putting it through its paces.
looking forward to the capture one videos
I've been shooting RAW with Fujifilm since the S5 Pro days. I went from Aperture to Lightroom and I was with LR for years but recently, not being happy with the raw converter I switched to shooting jpeg only. Then I dumped LR entirely and just started using the PHOTOS app, which to be honest isn't so bad and actually has features I like. I tried Capture One (free trial) but became frustrated with the learning curve and gave up. I too would like to see you do a series Capture One tutorials.
I love your videos! I learned so much from them. One year later and maybe some major LR update later, is there any hope that LR can better manage Fujifilm RAW files? Have you tried?
Yes on the Capture One tutorials! Thanks. Hoping that Adobe fixed this problem once and for all!!!
Switching to C1 long ago was the best thing I ever did for my Fuji workflow,
Yeah, Adam I'm hearing that more and more... I can't wait to get on board. I have a lot of catching up to do!
Another great video.... I'm new to Fuji, I have been using Nikon for years, and my first attempt at using Lightroom on my first few photos had me wondering if I had chosen the wrong brand of camera. I'll be interested in your future videos on Capture one...
Thank u for clarifying 🙏
No problem Tarun!!! Cheers!
Great explanation! More C1 videos please.
I started using LR when I was a Nikon user, used to the flow but once I switched to Fujifilm, LR is worthless and it is a subscription based software, so I have to keep paying for a software that sucks if I don't switch. I switched to C1 Express and try to get used to the work flow 6 months before my annual subscription expired, and I just purchased the license for C1 20, which I enjoy using it right now.
The only thing that I miss is HDR merge from LR
Thank you so much for the review! This is very helpful! Plus, Caption One is free too, right?
Yes, Would like to see more Capture One workflow videos
This is the first video thats effectively explained the actual reason why lightroom struggles with the xt3 files. Thanks for making the video :-)
My pleasure! Thanks Phil!!!!
I am a Lightroom fan, soooo this is very interesting.... I am going to follow You
I used capture one and went back to lightroom. I shoot lot of nightlife video and although c1 has more advanced colour grading tools LR's ability colour everything regardless of the source file is great for my work. I find capture 1 colour grading is subtle you have to build little by little to your desired effect. Which is great for portrait and fine work. but for me where I have to do quick color changes LR is better
I've never used LR. I've only had my Fujifilm X-T100 for 1.5 years or so. When I first was trying to determine what software to use to edit my raw files I saw lots of suggestions to use C1. I used the free version for a while to try it out and ended up buying a subscription when it went on sale. I really do like it and after watching several hours of tutorials have learned lots. I hope you do post some C1 videos of your own. Interestingly enough, my camera has a Bayer sensor. I suppose it being the more "budget" camera, Fuji went with that sensor.
I created a sharpening preset that I apply during importing the RAW files. Works pretty well. I don't use enhanced details
Have been enjoying your videos as I am contemplating to move from my Sony A6600 system to all out Fuji and the Lightroom dilemma is interesting and wondering if things have changed for the better now? My workflow is built more around LRC and LR
I've been using Capture One Pro since version 7. IMHO, it is the best solution for RAW conversions of RAF's and once you get used to the workflow and tools, it is far superior to LR. Just my opinion as I have used both. I understand why more people don't use Capture One. There are some DAM issues from what I've read but most of that is personal preference I suppose. From the overall experience with Fuji RAF's I will never go back to LR.
Rick Lewis I started using C1 since version 11. And I totally agree with you! The C1 results are so much better than Lightroom. Also, the Fujifilm simulations for my X-T3 (and previous X-T1 and X-Pro 2) are handled perfectly by C1. This gives so much options in post 😊
similar experience with the ancient 5Dmk1, in LR it is noisy, wormy, in C1 it is crisp and noise free
This is a great explanation, thank you! Though I haven't made the plunge just yet...I plan to switch from Canon DSLR to Fiji's X-T4. Has Lightroom changed it's software to better accommodate Fuji's raw images (as per several sales folk have said) or is Capture One still the better "go to?"
Thank you for this quick, but detailed video.
I JUST invested in an X-T4 and as it's on its way to my house, i see this discussion in a fuji group I'm in...
Oh well! lol.
Hi there, really love your videos. I am learning so much about my fujifilm x-series cameras from you. One of the things I am still not clear about: Are the wormy noise-artifacts present only while viewing the RAW Files on screen while processing in Lightroom? Or are they still present when they are exported into the jpg from the processed RAW files.? Thanks, Andrew (in Cincinnati).
The best way is using capture one!!! Thanks 😊👌
Yep, see my tutorial that I just released this week on C1. Brand new!!
Yes please more capture 1 videos will be ideal 👍
Nice video as always ...kindly request you to do some capture one videos too.. I'm new to Fuji
Hi, are you still using Capture One instead of LRC? LRC has a new version very interesting. You can now work with layers.
Has this new version of LRC worms?
Thank you very much indeed for spending your time on these lovely videos!
Happy New Year.
Greetings from Spain
I use Luminar 4 .... it´s a nice option and I´m realy satisfied with it. Greetings Joachim
Just came across this and immediately subd. I have been using iridient X & N transformer as even the Nikon Files weren't that great let alone the issue with xtrans. Doing a lot of stock stuff I end up with large numbers of images so using iridient can be a bit of a fiddle and takes time. Have been using capture One Pro 12 for a while with the fuji files but its not as quick and can be a bit of a faff as well. I have an old brain (66) and been using LR and PS since day one! It would be interesting to see your work flow using C1 to find out if I could adapt with the different software. Great content keep up the good work!!
Thanks! Make a lot of sense. Please do tutorial on Capture One. And, sorry, can you explain a way to connect XT4 with the wire to the computer running Capture One? Thanks!
+1 for an iridient raw conversion tutorial for us lightroom heads!
i switched to capture one last month and don't regret it, i wish i jumped ship sooner, no monthly subscription and its way faster than lightroom, oh and working with layers is awesome! I also use affinity photo as a photoshop alternative
Hey Chris- I've used Lightroom for years. I have my workflow down and efficient. I have downloaded Capture 1 and can see a difference in the image quality. But, I'd love to see the workflow you come up with. As of now, Capture 1 is totally bogging me down. As always, loving your videos!
Thanks Michael!!! Definitely I'm putting those together. I just published one a few minutes ago that goes over Photo Mechanic / LR workflow with XMP files. Working on others. Great to see ya here pal!!!! A total honor for me!!!!!! Yeah, C1 is the way to go for sure.
@@pal2tech Chris- I'm basically doing this now. I do use Photo Mechanic to import (ingest) to my hard drives, then bring in what I want to Lightroom, and edit in Photoshop, and save back to the Lightroom Catalog. I guess I'll just need to find a routine that works for me with C1- can't wait to see what you come up up, as I keep playing on this end. Take care, my friend!
what video setting you use for all your vlogs? very clear and focus
Yes please Capture One tutorials 👌
This is a timely topic given the improvements in PS and LR, including mobile and working with the iPad iOS. Can you do a video on using Capture One to do raw processing and using LR to maintain your catalog and for some processing?
Nice video, Chris. Thank you.
I was willing to buy an Ipad Pro 11" for travelling light and editing on the go my jpg/raf files from my Fuji X T-4. But, I haven't pulled the trigger yet because of the upcoming new Ipad Pro (maybe March) and the fact I use CO in my MacBook Pro. Maybe for a rookie mistake, I haven't ever catalogued my whole library of years (including Canon files) in Lightroom. So, for me wasn't a big deal changing to the much better (IMO) PhaseOne product.
Is there any application in AppStore that handles the Fuji files as CO does? I would like to keep the same eco-system, however, no one has a clue if one day they'll develop it for the Ipad OS. I know that the Lightroom CC app is not that bad but still, I suppose it'll have the same issues as in any PC/MAC regarding the worm effects. I mean, I don't want my photos resembling Rembrandt picture because of that!
Tks a lot!
Greetings from Spain.
I am already sold! My problem is that I am slow on the uptake and Capture One does not publish written instructions. Do you have any hints on starting to learn Capture One 20 Pro Fujifilm?
I have Capture One 12 for Fujifilm. What I'm not sure of is whether or not the default settings are 'pre-set' for RAF files? I had an older version of LR but when I switched from Canon to Fuji I found that I had to switch software too. I love C1 but the learning curve is a bit steeper. It does so much more than LR.
Hi Pal2tech you still use both LR and CO what usages do you allocate to LR and CC? Im interested in bird photography and I hear LR has masking that is helpful to adjust select areas. Does capture have masking? Many thanks.
I made up a preset in Lightroom for just sharpening I use with my xt2. Amount 70, radius 1.4, detail 25, masking 55. It enhances the edges but smooths the other surfaces a little. Just open a unedited raw file make those adjustments to sharpening, click develop new preset, title it what you want and save it.
That's great Paul!!!! I will definitely try that combo out. Thanks for sharing it!
I do wonder so happen to be doing some review/revision to this topic - I wonder if you create a video about archival - and what's your way to save photos - and how to be able to find photos as quickly as possible instead of trying to waste time looking through each folder
I use LR at present and want to move to Capture1.....so would like some workflow and basic adjustments in Capture1 please.
I found c1 much more better for fuji files, but I also experienced some tech issues on my pretty old laptop. Aside from tech issues, when c1 correcting distortion it could crop original resolution anywhere from 50 to 300 pixels in my experience.
