There is an in-camera RAW processing option, but this is pretty cumbersome and doesn’t give you the localised adjustments and precise control you get in desktop software.

So what are the RAW processing options for Fujifilm fans?įujifilm cameras produce pretty good JPEGs, but often you need the extra dynamic range, colour and bit-depth you can only get from a RAW file.

The key point is that we’ve got exactly the colour rendition we’d expect from the camera and plenty of headroom for further adjustments. It’s a bit lurid right now, but that’s the Velvia ‘look’, and it’s easy enough to tone down. A quick auto-adjust on this image has brought back the shadow and highlight details and produced the characteristic Velvia colours.

The advantage of using ICC curves to create Film Simulations is that the full range of regular adjustments remains available. This image was produced using Capture One’s auto-adjust command, which has brought up the shadows, toned down the highlights and created a very nice-looking image in very challenging lighting. So this means you have full flexibility for further editing. The tools all start from a flat baseline rather than having some adjustments applied already.

The fact that these Film Simulations use custom colour profile curves rather than regular Styles or Presets has one very particular advantage – the regular adjustment tools are left free for whatever adjustments you want to make. They also do something very interesting with highlights, especially in bright skies, pulling back subtle highlight tones so that there’s less need for Highlight adjustments later.Ĭapture One also replicates Fujfilm’s black and white Film Simulations, including Fujifilm ACROS. It’s easy enough to check…įujifilm’s Astia and Velvia JPEGs have a very particular kind of blue with a subtle violet shift that it’s very hard to replicate using regular colour controls, but Capture One’s Film Simulations nail it. The sky colour has shifted towards cyan this time, but I suspect this is because the higher contrast has caused some highlight clipping. Applying the Velvia setting produces a predictable increase in contrast. Astia has a saturated look but softened contrast, and while the shadows here have got denser, the sky is a much better colour. Applying the Astia rendition produces an instant and obvious improvement. It wouldn’t be hard to knock this into shape with some adjustments, but it does look a little flat and harsh right now. This is Capture One 12’s standard rendition of a Fujifilm X-T20 RAF file.

I haven’t done scientific side-by-side tests against camera JPEGs, but I can see straight away that the Astia and Velvia Film Simulation curves look very close to my camera’s own JPEG rendition. 02 Are they any good?Īctually, they’re very good. Incidentally, although these Film Simulations only arrived with Capture One 12, they will work on images previously processed with the older Capture One 11 engine, like this one. When you pick one from the list it’s applied to the image and you’ll see an immediate difference. However, this is where you’ll find the Fujifilm Film Simulations. Beneath that is a Curve drop-down which you probably don’t bother with usually since you can make any curves adjustments you like with the regular tools. You can find this in the Q (‘Quick’) tool tab, though the Capture One interface is infinitely customisable so you could add it to any tool tab you like.Ĭapture One should have selected the camera’s ICC Profile by default. To apply Capture One 12’s Fujifilm Film Simulations you need to go to the Base Characteristics tool. You can take a look at the adjustments each Style has made, if you want to, and adapt it according to your tastes and even save your own modified version.īut the Fujifilm Film Simulation modes are different and you won’t find them amongst the Styles and Presets.

When you install Capture One Styles packs, this is what you get. Styles use a combination of adjustments, Presets are adjustments made with a single tool. Phase One has added support for the Fujifilm GFX, launched a new, free Capture One Express Fujifilm app, and Capture One 12 now adds the Fujifilm Film Simulation modes promised at Photokina 2018.Ĭapture One typically applies different processing ‘looks’ using Styles and Presets. Is Capture One now the best RAW converter of all for Fujifilm owners?
