Welcome back to The Fuji Guys. My name is Francis. If you're like me and you
were pretty excited when you heard about the development announcement of X RAW Studio,
the software that would actually give you the same color and image
quality that you would get from the in-camera JPEG but working on your
computer, well today FUJIFILM just released it, so if you want to know more
about this software keep on watching.
First of all you want to open up the camera and then go into connection
settings and set it to USB RAW converter, backup/restore and then you
want to connect the camera to the computer. There we go, and now we are
ready to start working. So, you are going to open up FUJIFILM
X RAW Studio and as you can see the FUJIFILMGFX 50s is connected to the
computer so what that will do is actually I'm going to work on my files
on my computer and then it's going to send the file whenever I export it to
the camera and it's going to bring it back into the computer with a jpg file.
I have here on my external hard drive but it could be on your SD card or
whatever drive and then you open up the the folder that you want I personally go
and make the selection of my photos and then put them in the folder and then I
can work on them on the X RAW Studio. What's really interesting is that you
know when you whenever you import your files into Lightroom or Bridge or
something they always come flat, you know, as the no no adjustment on them. What's
really cool with X RAW Studio is actually it keeps the settings from when
you shot your image and it shows you right there on the right panel all the
adjustment that you had when you took the shot. So from there let's just do a
little walk around the software. If you go up there you have your battery
level from your camera. You have your source image folder so wherever you want
to get your images from. You have your histogram here. And then you have your
all your metadata image information right here. If you go there you have your
single screen or you have your before and after. Let's just put it back to
single for now. And then you have full view or you can
zoom in to 100% or whatever you want and then you can move around and make sure
you had focus. Now, if you want to actually full view the other way you
could do 100% right here and you can come back to the full screen there you
can actually select to zoom by stages. Again I'm going to go back here so
you really have all the basic tools to work on your exposure on your image and
this is really more convenient than working in the camera itself. I used to
go into the raw convertor inside the camera and do all my images because I
didn't like the rendering that I would get from from Photoshop or Lightroom not
because it's not good just because it couldn't recreate the exact same tones
and colors from my X-Series camera or GFX camera. So let's go back in there so you
can either display or not display the JPEGs here. I don't have any in this
folder but I always leave it at that because I don't want to work on the
JPEGs. Let's just take an image for example; so I have this one here so since
I have the GFX I could export it to TIFF, if I wanted. Personally I like
JPEGs better and then you can go and change the the ratio of your image just
like you would into the camera so let's put it for example at 1:1. There you
have your image quality so superfine, dynamic range so it's not available
there because it was shot at ISO 100. It was really cool to not have to actually
work in the camera and just work on the computer. So, moving on you have your
grain effect if you want to go strong weak again all the same settings that
you get into your camera if the white balance was off so I can go and put it
to daylight which it should have ready yeah that's where it was on the auto but
again you can go and change it like this. Let's put it back to daylight there
you go and then if you want to you can go before and after so it starts from
there from your main from when you actually click on the before and after
and then you can go and play and see the before and after on your image and then
just put it to ACROS for example here. So let's say this image is ready to go I
can just go and convert it so I click once that's for one photo
so it's converting it so if I go back here and show the JPEGs actually it's
right here. If I want I can actually batch convert so I'm just going to take
this one and take this one as well and I can just convert them so there you go
I've just done two but I can do more than that actually I could take the
whole thing and do it at once. But, as you can see, I have my two JPEGs here that I
just converted; this one and that one here. The last thing that's really
cool is that as you know I like my recipes a lot so I can actually save
them into the software itself so I can select all of my images and just select
one user profile. Let's just go and create one so if I take a raw image here
so let's take that one. Let's just make a recipe so JPEG I want it super fine.
I want ASTIA. Then sharpness; I don't need to; this is a GFX. I can just save profile and then
call it "ASTIA". Sorry about that; ASTIA right here so if I take, for
example, another image let's take this one I can apply the ASTIA profile.
Then I can make further adjustments from there. So this was a little bit
underexposed so I'm just going to push it half stop. There. And then if I'm happy
with it there you go. You can add more if you want so let's
say we're going to create another one from this so Pro-Hi and then let's
push the shadow and then yeah. So, let's just save this one...
Pro Negative; shadow +4. There. As you can see they stack up there so there.
There you have it; a little overview of the brand new FUJIFILM X-RAW Studio.
