![]() I also find that the files don't come into Lightroom looking as good as they do from the Nikons - they need more work - but that could just be a familiarity issue. ![]() It does happen more easily than with Nikon files, no question about it. I find I can make the "painterly" thing happen pretty easily, but it's not that hard to back off on the settings. (By comparison, I've been using Nikon raw files with Lightroom for 8 years.) I rented an X-E2 for a vacation a couple of weeks ago, which is my only real experience playing with these files. I think for 95% of my images this is a non-issue but for 5% it can be a challenge that makes for extra work but usually not an unusable image.īTW I also use Capture One Pro and the same effects can be seen but to a lesser extent.Īre others experiencing or seeing this effect and what strategies do you use to reduce it ? Almost always the effect is seen in green areas but I have also seen it in red areas of the image where OOF areas are found. Since the degree of sharpening varies with the image and its content it is difficult to put an absolute number boundary but I seem to be able to reproduce it with sharpening in the 65-90 slider values but if I reduce these values to 25-30 it goes away. I would be interested to get feedback on this from some of the experts on the forum as I am sure that the painterly or watercolour effect is real but it is a question of why is it worse in LR than some other RAW processors but also why is it made worse by what I call 'excessive' sharpening. A second round of sharpening can later be performed usually with NIK Sharpener or Photoshop USM with no negative results. If 'light sharpening' is applied in LR5 or PS CS6 then there is little or no display of the quoted watercolour or painterly effects. The reported issues with ACR and Lightroom processing of Fuji X-Trans RAW files, for me, seem to only occur if sharpening is applied aggressively to images which then results in the much quoted effects.
