Everyone rejoice! Lightroom and ACR Support for X100

Except that it's not a D90 sensor. That was an idea that was tossed around for ever and Fuji has confirmed that they developed it. Plus the low light performance is way above and beyond what the D90 could do even in jpg.

Plus hey, it's also a different lens, different processor, different file type completely.
 
Not bad. We now have Silkypix (retail), Capture One and Lightroom/Photoshop all handling X100 RAWs. To my eye the results look similar (close to identical) and very good. I'm now just waiting for DxO Optics Pro to have support. If only it was as easy to get the lens hood :)
 
I noticed that LR has profiled the lens, so it is doing lens corrections if you have it enabled. I guess they figured "what the heck might as well profile it immediately, there is only the one to do".

Very happy to have LR RAW support; the X100 files are very nice, in particular I'm thrilled with the amount of shadow detail that can be pulled out in high DR situations with very little noise.

Will update my blog soon with a bunch of new shots, just got back from a week's holiday where I used the X100 almost exclusively.

Where did fuji confirmed its their own sensor?

Check the DXO stats including ISO performance its virtually the same.
 
Is there a way (a direct way I mean) to get Raw support if I'm on Photoshop CS4? The Adobe site says ACR 6.4 only works with CS5...

Edit - I've found some more posts and it seems not. I need to use DNG converter...

I'm afraid that I'm going to have to do that, I'm interested in the x100, but with my current set-up. I may have to shoot raw+jpg, and then use the raws at a later date when I ever get around to a computer hardware upgrade.

You can convert the raws to DNG and then use your current version of LR - you should be able to convert on import.

yeah, that is a workaround. just upgraded to 6.4.1 and played with a raw file just now. works great. though, I'm adding a step in the workflow (*gasp!) and I'm rendering with the old processing engine, so I'm missing out on new software techniques, but hey! it works! unlike Flash10. :bang:

edit: awesome, it now works for lightroom 2.6 via the DNG converter 6.4.1 software. great news for me, my G5 will live for a bit longer now.
