Using Fujifilm X RAW Studio

[@benbeattie4609]

I am watching this after just having purchased my first X-T3 - you channel is one of the single biggest reasons for me moving to Fujifilm! Thank you so very much for all of the vital work you have put into this channel, it has been fantastically informative and is my go-to reference guide! Enjoy your well deserved rest and please keep up the priceless work that you’re doing!

[@gregormahler5192]

Man this programme is epic for editing easily the internal film simulations... Thank you for sharing this advice! 👌🏼

[@RICHARDMANDX]

This is the only channel where I have the notification bell turned on. Great content, always learning new things to try out with my Fuji Camera. This was not the exception! P.S. Too bad this won't work on my XT-1 :(

[@Audimann]

I need a drink and a cigarette after watching this to get calm again😁

That's what I did three times because I am french and my english skills are...french haha hihi :)

[@TheDOS]

Thanks again. One additional nice feature is that the histogram shows an indicator for where your pointer is. As a editing novice, I found this helpful e.g. when taking portraits where the subject needs a very different exposure level than the background/foreground.

[@carlosmozephoto]

Thanks Chris for the ever support to the Fuji system. Always my reference when to refresh my knowledge over this system. Well done (again). Cheers Carlos

[@henrysiegertsz8204]

I don't know how you do it, but every video is better than the last! I don't even shoot RAW, but I love the idea of adding named profile recipes to my camera!!!

[@jimcarlin4586]

Gosh, this is a really useful guide to using RAW files and the Fuji RAW software. I wish I was a photographer.

[@PaoloGrasso26]

3:30 I think it does refers to the live preview while your editing the photos with the software (and you may want more speed since the software itself is very slow in communicating with the camera and sending back the conversions). It does not affect final conversion step from RAW to JPEG.

[@ianmasters8344]

I have enjoyed using this programme on my Mac. I hope Fujifilm will bring out a version for iPad OS as it would be great when eventually I go travelling again. Would make a great on the road editor.

[@sweet4nice2003]

🤯🤯🤯🤯My mind is just blown away right now! This deep learning right there and I love it😍

[@pietervanbalen4417]

You are doing a great great job! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I love every single video that goes online! Best wishes from Germany!!!

[@pal2tech]

Thank you so much!

[@dundas45]

That Custom Profile creation work around is great. Thanks

[@Omar.Alamoudi]

I've known about this for awhile, but never cared to use it. That is, until you mentioned the X-T4 Custom profiles!!! That is amazing, I have to have to adjust things in camera. Thanks Chris!!!

[@Stewyg80]

Thanks for summarice the points for the camera settings and the tip for the cable. Last one did confuse me a lot.

[@rdog77]

OMG you can set custom profiles???!!!! This is perfect for loading Fuji X Weekly recipes for film simulations!!!!

[@pal2tech]

Works on XT4. I don't think on XT3 though.

[@Sticks55]

@@pal2tech Damn

[@rdog77]

@@pal2tech Right! But you can save the simulations to the Fujifilm X RAW Studio and apply them as needed....btw getting X-T4 next week WooHoo!

[@Warlawyer]

@@pal2tech do you know if you can set custom profiles on the X-s10 ?

[@klinnito]

@fujifilm please include this feature on XTrans III/X-Processor Pro generation too

[@CarlosLopezES]

Thank you! I love using X Raw Studio because it's allow me to use custom recipes, and sometimes it's a lot easier than C1. Have a nice weekend!

[@pal2tech]

You too Carlos!!!! Cheers!!! 👍

[@wilfs1196]

Enjoyed this video Chris. looks like a fun project to learn this winter.

[@sshapiro63]

The Fujifilm software is what led me to the full version of SilkyPix Developer Studio Pro. It's amazing software.

[@vishal_trivedi]

HAHA Chris!! Affectionately aka Wayne Szalinski, but Today went full NEO in the Fuji Matrix 😂 AND THANK U for continuing to distinguish X-T3 from X-T4, it REALLY helps 🙏🏽 super appreciative of the content like DAAMN CHRisSss the content thooooo 🙀🔥

[@roberbrasero683]

I'm new to Fuji (XS20) loving the camera and loving your channel, keep it up mate, great content

[@andy.photoandfilm]

man.. everytime i look for something fuji specific theres always a video from you popping up, luckily i already know your way of explaining & teaching is so great so i don't have to bother with someone elses contet ;-)

[@cokeandtwirl]

Well, it’s taken me a long time as a Fuji user to get around to thinking about using Fuji X Raw studio and so I thought ‘I’m sure Chris at pal2tech did a video about it’ and , of course, here it is! Love your enthusiasm and clarity of explanation.

[@juancarlosplaza8301]

Thanks a lot Chris!!! This sounds very interesting. I'm gonna try it. About direct hex editing, it shouldn't work because the standard practice is to use CRC, metadata signatures, etc, to detect corruption and tampering. Also, data structures would be different between camera models so the X RAW Studio software would find inconsistencies. But it was worth trying anyway. Thanks a lot again for the video and have a great weekend!!

[@ScotHacker]

Finally got around to trying some Recipes, and using X-RAW Studio, and re-watched this video. One question though - I see in your video that two of the options are grayed out - Dynamic Range and D-Range Priority. Everything else can be edited, but not those two. I have the same problem. Any idea why? Is there a workaround? The recipe I'm trying to add specifically calls for changing these. Thanks.

[@marvamaretto]

You're amazing... I heard of this but never tried it. I can't wait to do upload a final image for you to see.

[@davemartel5225]

This is absolutely fabulous. You are awesome! You said you can’t save anything aka store on the camera but you saved “Field Brown”. Which I love by the way. 👍👏

[@davidmedeiros7572]

So, is there a technical reason older camera's can't take save profiles direct from XRAW, or is this just a choice Fuji made to not retroactively upgrade that functionality? Could they have made the XT3 work like the XT4 here with a firmware update?

[@michaelberg7201]

Thanks for sharing this video on XRaw Studio. I've been using this program for a very long time and I always talk about it when people suggest using this or that raw converter. I have Ubuntu on my computer so I need to run this in a virtual machine which works just fine. The only problem with XRaw is - as you also stress in the video, that you need to own the camera that took the original photo in order to process it. I went from an X-T2 to an X-T4 and of course that camera won't process any of the X-T2 files.This can be a problem since most people tend to sell off their used gear in order to fund the next upgrade. If you need something that will consistently process your entire gallery, you do need a software raw converter I think. One question for you @pal2tech about that usb power setting. I never turned that off before and have left the camera plugged in for ages. What is the risk with doing that? In fact what does that function even do? Anyway thanks again for sharing and keep making more videos :-)

[@lamaludwig1470]

great video - short and very informative - Fujifilm should pay you!

[@joguSD]

The quality setting you changed near the beginning is just for the previews, not for the final render. The final render is always the highest quality. When I was playing with the camera profile customization I was editing some of the customization files directly (they’re just XML) I seem to recall that they had serials or some kind of uuid in them to tie them to specific cameras. I wonder if they editing lock out works on a similar principle, as I imagine the camera serial number is in the raw file somewhere too.

[@fredbloggs545]

I have tried editing the exif on the raw files, including camera serial number. I basically copied all of the camera data from my X-E4 RAF to an X-E3 RAF, no joy.

[@ulisesmedina3043]

Hi Chris! Congratulations for this useful video, I have some questions, I installed the application on my computer, but I haven't been able to get it to work. , I used a micro USB 2.0 connector, maybe a 3.0 is necessary? Although I don't know if it will work, on my regular, home PC, my camera is an xt2, and I haven't found the option to disable the USB charging function on it, maybe that's what doesn't allow the process to work. , I appreciate your response!!

[@garethmcfarland7244]

I have been meaning to get into X Raw Studio for a while so you’ve convinced me to finally try it out. I’m having an issue with it crashing on my MacBook however. It loads find but when I’m scrolling through photos in a folder it just crashes and I get the usual MacOS error message. The other thing that accompanies this is my X-S10 then starts making a feint high pitched noise. This is only rectified by removing and re-connecting the usb cable.

[@Kneedeepinstock]

Hi. What other cameras can you save camera profiles from xraw studio to? You mention the xt4 can do it. That has an xtrans 4 and quad processor like the xt30 and x100v. Can you save custom camera profiles from x raw on those cameras as well?

[@nicholasalcock1366]

What is the best options if you want to keep them as RAW files and want to use LR/PS? I'm currently with an X-T4

[@primal_aperture_photo]

Very very cool info! Especially about saving custom settings onto your camera from the RS software. Thank you as always for grade A tips and info. Have a good week and until next time. :)

[@maerskdiaopinero7611]

Hi this is a newbie question hehe Which is better for editing raw files for my Xh2s? Lightroom Classic, Capture one or X Raw Studio

[@sixt3denied]

I love your videos. You're an excellent teacher ;) I've learned a lot from your videos. Thank youi!

[@PaulVotava]

DUDE! All over this - 🤩thanks for all u do!

[@jpatrickdowns]

Very helpful! I've been an X100 shooter for 7 years, now with a V, but shoot RAW. Mainly because I don't use JPEGs from camera, even with film sims. Being able to apply those sims to RAW files is great! Why didn't I know this before. PS: Maybe drink de-caf before making your videos? 😎

[@joshuachubbphotography]

This video was so informative. I wish there was a way to use it on other Fujifilm files. I definitely don't have the same cameras for some of the raw files I want to play with.

[@LetsMakeGhosts]

I have had some success changing the exif data of raw files. I can use X-E4 and X-S10 raw files with my X-T30 II in X Raw Studio without issue. But can’t use X-T4 or X100V. I run into the same issues as you did when trying to hack.

[@kbqvist]

Just wondering why you suggest turning off usb charging while doing conversions?

[@victor-ferreira]

Another fantastic vlog (as always)!!!

[@marcelovsthemonsters]

Hi Pal2Tech. Is there a reason why this program wouldn't be working with an Xt4? I'm plugged directly into my computer. Changed my settings like you said. Still not seeing my raw files. Thanks. Great videos.

[@360santacruz]

Hello @pal2tech, I hope you can help me !? I have set my fuji film X-T4 on "USB Raw Con..." then I have changed the battery, connected my Fuji to my computer it will recognize the X-T4 but can´t show the pictures, neither in my files neither on Fujifilm X RAW Studio. What can I do ? Thank you for your help and your really good videos ;D

[@NJintheImagination]

Excellent video. I shoot with an XT3 and X100V. I save all my photos to Apple Photos. Apple Photos lets me edit with Raw Power and Affinity and save non destructively back to Apple Photos. You cannot do this with other external editors, like Capture One. Will Fuji X Raw studio access and read photos from Apple Photos and save the edited image back to Apple Photos? Thanks

[@colin-4794]

Been using it with my X-S10, very easy and nice to use. I didn't know about turning off the usb power setting though, thank's for that. Nice demo.

[@peter.kustan]

Thanks, after I connected my XE-4 my pictures doesn't show up, could you help me? I set everything what you said. My camera is there but no pics. I use only 1 USB C cable to my mac

[@JASehring]

Thank you for this video...I was excited to try this out. My MacBook Air recognized the camera, but it's not pulling up and allowing me to save the created recipes to the camera? Any ideas of why this would be?

[@philso5634]

Any rational or hint why I can not see the new menu Camera Profile (Custom) with my XT-3 connected to X RAW Studio? Is this an an XT-4 feature which isn't available for oder Fujis?

[@MikaelJulin]

Installed the latest version of X RAW STUDIO. Started the cameras and the program showed the camera model, but no folder or raw images. When I look in the explorer, I see two folders, one called film and one called still, but there are no pictures either, although they are shown in the camera. What can I do about this?

[@stephenschmid492]

Very interesting that they use the camera to do the conversion. I wonder how hard it would be for them to do it on the computer? Seems like it would be very useful to be able to do that.

[@monogenetic]

It's a Japanese company and Japan is not known for its software programming abilities.

[@joeygug613]

Great video! Question when I have my X100V connected and running the app it makes a weird hissing sound and the status light flashes green. Does anyone know of this is normal?

[@Yuri-bc2qr]

What's the difference X RAW and Capture One software in a way of choosing film simulations?

[@gertpalm811]

How do I prevent the FP-files from being saved in the folder where raw- and jpg-files are located? Thanks for the video. Greetings from Sweden

[@bottledwaterprod]

The software too? What is it with Fuji and just graying out options with little to no explanation of why or what to do about it?

[@grantyoung3076]

Amazing video but I have a question: I thought dynamic range in Fujifilm cameras adjusted the exposure slightly yet it appears you can alter the dynamic range in the raw inverter. How can this take place if the original exposure is already set? Thanks again!

[@colinclark3218]

Wouldn't it be great if the program allowed you to do tethered shooting live, as the free Canon EOS utility does? That would be a real bonus.

[@b.walter6646]

After your finished can you convert to TIFF as well as jpeg?

[@digibirder]

Excellent content. Thank you very much! Do you have any opinions on using a program like Iridient Digital instead of Capture one. I'm locked into Adobe for many reasons... Thanks again!

[@normankleinberg5525]

The two questions I have about this software are: First, why is there a "crop" button when viewing JPEGs and how do I use it; there are times I like the conversion but just need to crop/rotate, I can do the cropping/rotation on screen but can't seem to save the image. Second, does the "*" on an image mean it's a conversion, it has been edited or exactly what? I understand one might ask: "Why bother, use a REAL converting/editing program". I know, I'm just curious. :)

[@PraveenMV]

Any reset option in it? mean Revert back to shot settings?

[@vinchy5799]

What if I change or upgrade the camera, How can I restore all user profile that I saced previously on my old camera.

[@nimishrelan3817]

made all the right connections as you mentioned, the raw studio recognises my camera but no images are displayed in the source image folder, inspite of having tons of raw images on my card, can you or anyone help, what am i doing wrong !!!!!

[@Titancarreon]

Pal2tech, why half of my photos doesn't look sharp even at 200 or 400 iso in daylight or flash. And half of them showing worm artifacts. I was having thoughts of switching to a full frame because of these. Can you please help figure it out and explain? I'm subbing for the topic to come. Thanks in advance.

[@kjtubed]

Hello Chris!... I'm a recent Fuji user (mostly thank to you!), and I've been wondering... I've just downloaded Capture One Express for Fuji, and it seems a pretty good software for editing and file converter... Do you think I need X Raw Studio, too?

[@daviddavidd9883]

I have an issue that's worse than an itch you can't scratch. I asked Fuji now I hope you can answer my question. I converted raw files and all went well until I launched Lightroom to import the converted jpg files. Lightroom didn't see the x raw studio converted jpgs. I launched Photoshop and opened the files. I created a new folder and dragged the jpg files into it. launched LR and clicked Import. LR saw the converted jpgs in the new folder. Why is this happening with the converted files that are in the original folder? A bug lurking about or do I need a plugin?

[@juliusiregar]

Hi, I use X-T20 and try to connect to X Raw Studio. On the software already shown my camera X-T20 and its firmware version also the battery level, but I can not find any folder on the left box source that shown my SD card from camera. I use X Raw for windows

[@martinnguyen4703]

Hi Chris!!1 Thank you for an awesome video! I was wondering if it is possible to create a custom recipe on XRaw studio then save to an XT3? Im not sure if you are implying that this only works on the XT4? Thank you in advance :)

[@SF.photographer]

Question...can the recipes be exported and then reimported into X Raw Studio?

[@LA-fh2fs]

[@Durio_zibethinus]

7:54 "look at this! See that?" Erm yes my sincere apologise I believe I cannot grasp where do I have to look at Joke aside, I have a question, since cheap manual lenses quite popular this year, I'm interested with fujifilm system for my slow-paced street camera. X-T10 caught my attention, do you have any advice before purchasing this guy? Thanks.

[@IVMTAB]

I am trying this as I am watching the video and I am having trouble connecting the X-T4 to X Raw Studio and I'm using the USB-C that came with the camera directly hooking it up to a MacBook Pro. Could this be a software problem, because I just downloaded the latest version of X Raw Studio?

Hi, thanks for this nice introduction. Is it also possible to import JPEG recipes which are already existent on an XT4 into XRaw Studio? Thanks. Heiner

[@joerichard171]

Hey Chris, another great Fuji video, thank you. Your videos are without a doubt one of the best recommendation one can make to anyone in the Fuji-X ecosystem. On the topic of X Raw film simulations. What would be your preference if you also had Capture One which does great job also? Does X Raw do a better job in the conversion since it uses the camera's CPU/recipe.

[@fredbloggs545]

X RAW is the only converter that exactly matches the jpeg output of the camera.

[@lewisbloom6396]

So the photos on the memory card has nothing to do with this, use the files from the computer, the Raw Files, and the Camera is the processor, awesome, your channel is great! Greetings from Germany

[@s.kalidas3676]

Will the filim simulation choosen in this process (after the photo is taken) matches the quality of it applied from the camera or not?

[@fredbloggs545]

Fujifilm X RAW Studio uses the camera to process the RAF file. It is *EXACTLY* the same as a jpeg taken by the camera.

[@sethie_shots]

Excellent vid as always 💪🏼🙏🏼

[@AP-do6sv]

Hi Chris, Thanks a lot for all your videos. You are one big reason for me finally pulling the trigger on an XT3. I followed this video,but somehow i am just able to save the settings in User profile, there is no option to save the setti gs in the camera. Seems like i am missing something obvious. Please do help if you get the time. Best wishes from India!!

[@Lucamitm]

Do you need to keep the fp3 file that gets created ? Thanks

[@marcclarion6586]

Another great video! Thanks very informative

[@migflowers]

6:05 those options are only available on X-T4 right? I don't see those with my connected X-T2. Thank you :)

[@PerThrane1]

VIDEO SUGGESTION: What about a video on flash combability? Many might have other brand flashes that they like to use with the Fuji gear, especially if they moved to Fuji recently. I use a ticker system for my non-Fuji flashes. Also, good to mention that flashes does not work with ES turned on due to the need for curtain functionality.

[@corpusfusion1574]

Chris, I seem to hit a brick wall after brick wall on setting up this FujiFilm X software to edit photos from my FujiFilm X-T20. I updated my camera to the software and using the right cord connections, the program reads my camera but I'm unable to find any photos to edit. Where would the photos be in the left-hand side of the software to open the photos? I am lost at this point. This is WAY over my head, I'm a director/photographer not a tech guy in any way of form, as you can tell. This could be for you as easy as turning on a light switch but for me it's astrophysics.

[@fredbloggs545]

The photos need to be .RAF files and on the COMPUTER not the camera.

[@mattvene]

Great tutorial for a software I never meant to use before, looks much smoother for a soft editing. Definitely I’ll try once I’ll come back by next trip. Is it possibile to save and load custom profiles into the camera with the XT3?

[@neglectedloves]

thanks for this video (again) you saved me from more gray hair... now I get this in my beliefs really awkward piece of software. Saving the recipes back to the camera is beyond great though! One question remains: could I use a "neutral" RAW (no recipe applied) and create a film recipe within the software from scratch?

[@colinturner6628]

Another Master Class 👍👍

[@HogbergPhotography]

The in camera raw-converter is MUCH faster and not very complicated. BUT, the problem is the screen or the viewfinder does not show what the image looks like in the real world / what it would look like on a correctly calibrated computer screen... I would rather wish for a better and more calibrated color-accurate viewfinder and screen than more megapixels or other mumbo jumbo no real photographer needs in the next model from fujifilm. Thanks.

[@aqualungs77]

❤ very helpful . My card reader died and a friend told me about this software. I was intimidated at first to change my process but this helped alot! I juwt edit after im Capture 1. Especially knowing theres a power option for the camera when using it. I was worried about it wearing out quicker. Also im going to just shoot raw now. I usually do both and leave it in atandard process. Provia? Anyways thanks a bunch! I subscribed 😊
