Which RAW processor?

Which RAW processor?

NONE.

You people must all be craftsmen of a high order. I prefer to slog along with the excellent jpegs. :)
 
You can make presets so the file opens to your liking in LR.

I am not a LR fan even realizing it is the same as CS6. Reading Kelby`s book today at the library and he stated NR and sharpening tools are better in PS.

I think it is up to you to make the converter work for you by learning it completely.

The problem LR and ACR have in respect to the Fuji X-Trans files is based on the demosaicing algorithm and there is no way for the user to act on it.
 
So can someone tell when all of these camera makers are going to finally work with the major software companies to ensure we can actually process the images their cameras make?

Until then the camera is worthless to me. I want the most I can get out of the sensor and if Nikon, Canon, Fuji, Sony and Olympus don't give a crap why bother with spending the money on one of their cameras?

Fortunately, Nikon and Canon have such a big following its easier for Adobe to justify getting new RAW profiles out the door.

With as much time as they spend on creating all of the in camera mood options on converting the files to jpg they surely could have made it easier for you and me to work with their RAW files.

Do you want every converter to yield the same results. Shoot jpeg. Buy a camera with a good jpeg engine. I shot Nikon for 35+ years. I felt C1 gave me the best renders. Ask 10 others and you get 10 different answers.

I'm not sure having the camera manufacturers work with the software firms will buy us much. Either we get the camera manufacturers interpretation of what is universally right or the software guy's interpretation. Of course, then all if us will subsequently change their right to our right.

I didn't say I wanted all the converters to yield the same results. I just want to be able to process the camera's RAW files out of the box day 1 with a professional software package that provides a complete workflow. Not just a RAW reader/converter that the company issues.

I will not own a camera where I'm limited to a JPG file.

Ever wonder why you see so many Apple specific apps being discussed on photography forums? You are correct, that vast ocean of secretaries and clerks working in offices won't be able to do post using Irident during work hours. Not to mention all those low spec'd big box store PC's expecting to render XTrans files (which took just as long to render as my now departed D800). Once you enter the realm of machines spec'd to efficiently perform post, you'll find a vastly higher penetration than 7%. You also find a pool of small developers that appear to prefer developing for OS X.
