Library module When will Lightroom work with Fujifilm?

Surely its time this was sorted? Why do Fuji RAW files look so atrocious in Lightroom? Im convinced its actually worse than ever. Ive noticed a stark difference between viewing in Lightroom and Photoshop. How can this be?

You're absolutely right this issue with Fuji RAW files in Lightroom has been ongoing and frustrating. A good workaround is to process the image elsewhere first and then usar herramientas para subir calidad de imagen ai to get better results before final adjustments.

£10 a month for final adjustments isnt cutting it. Crazy that this hasnt been resolved.

Not just Fiji, OM System also. To get the very best out of an ORF file, particularly the high res files, they need to be processed through OM Workspace first, then exported as a TIFF to LrC. Not only is it tedious but file sizes become huge.

Hi,

I'm curious. Could you please elaborate a little about "atrocious" and "stark difference". Since LR and Photoshop share the same RAW engine, maybe you should have a look at the preset being applied when opening an image in LR.

maybe you should have a look at the preset being applied when opening an image in LR.

Or maybe have a look at your preview settings in LR ?

Honestly I’d welcome this being an error on my part, I really would! I’ll upload some comparisons this evening and any thoughts appreciated

Both sides are untouched Fuji raw files at 100%, originally upload into Lightroom. The left side image has been opened in photoshop and saved back to Lightroom. Sharpening is clearly being applied beyond the Lightroom default when opened in Photoshop. The file as a whole looks far cleaner.

When you load a RAW file into Photoshop, it is actually opened in Camera RAW. If you don't make any adjustment in ACR and open the file in PS (Open button), the image is first converted to an in-memory raster image. If you then export this image as a JPEG file, the default settings of the PS image editor will be applied to that JPEG.

When you open the same RAW file in LR, your first see the JPEG thumbnail embedded in the RAW file and after a few seconds, the preview built by LR according to the development parameters specified in your default preset and visualized according to your preview parameters and to your display configuration.

Given these 2 different ways of processing, getting different results is not a surprise. What you see in LR is in the first place depending of the preview size and quality settings specified in the Catalog preferences and of your default preset. These settings don't exist in PS. Moreover, while viewed in LR, your image is not yet a JPEG or a TIFF. It's something living in-memory as the result of a new demosaicing triggered each time you change a development parameter (well, not exactly, I simplify). This works as f you were still in ACR. Once you export it from PS, both views are different things and the view presented by LR might not be the same as your exported JPEG. You should only compare JPEGS exported from LR or from PS and generated by using the same development parameters in LR and in ACR. And I guess they'll be very similar, provided you didn't make any edit while the image was opened in PS (not in ACR).

This doesn't mean that you can't obtain the same results in LR as in PS. But your image is not going through the same processing.

Is it just that PS has rasterized the image using whatever sharpening parameters were in effect by ACR and sent that output to LR vs LR showing the original raw image?
