Picktorial fuji raw1/10/2023 The second settings gives RFC it’s max performance on your system… It’s still slow though □ (But you will have to manually deselect the tool after you’re finished with it) The first setting means that when using (say) the WB selector tool, if you want to click more than once and try a second (or 3rd, 4th etc) WB from a point in the image, then you don’t have to re-select the tool each time. Here you can specify at what point the auto exposure tool meters for as well as the level at which the shadow and highlight “blinky” warnings kick in at.ġ)Enable continuous operation of the Eyedropper tool The next item from the Options Menu, is the Function Settings. The next item is Function Settings dialogue box If you have a colour profile for your screen, set it from the Display Settings Monitor Profile drop down menu Here you can specify any colour profile management that your monitor may have and what side of the screen the tools to reside.įor Preview Display System, the default setting is a ‘coarse’ preview (full image view, which is very slow to update) and a more accurate ‘zoom to 100%’ view for when you need to check a specific part of the image The next item from the options menu is Display Settings I would also set the output quality to the highest setting On standard settings, RFC will want to output the file its created from DSCF1234.RAF as ‘DSCF1234.jpg’ but that file already exists) (For example, if set to shoot RAW + Jpeg, your Fuji will give you 2 Files DSCF1234.RAF & DSCF1234.jpg. This can be handy if you have SOOC Jpegs and RAFs in the same folder, it will stop RFC wanting to overwrite your SOOC Jpegs, with its developed Jpegs. In this example, the setting will have the effect of naming your files _.RFC.jpg. I’ve chosen ‘RFC’ so that I know my images were made in this application. Applying a setting here will add the suffix to all images that RFC develops. Here I personally recommend having RFC add a suffix to your developed images. To begin with, you should head to the Options Menu in order to make some changes This is the full screen of the application, which should be the view that greets you when you launch the app So in the coming parts we’re going to be taking a look at it’s features, what it can do (and what it can’t) and how to use it.īefore we start editing any images, let’s take a look at the features and options and how we might want to set them up. The version supplied with Fujifilm cameras is a stripped down version of their more fully featured SikyPix Developer Pro software. RFC is supplied by Fujifilm, but is made by Ichikawa Soft Laboratory Co.Ltd, a Japanese company. TIFF files for use in a more fully featured product, could do worse than use this completely free of charge, (supplied by the people who make your camera) piece of software However RFC is not without usefulness and in my opinion anyone not needing or wishing to buy, a full-on RAW convertor or anyone who just needs a separate app to generate. So am I about to educate you that it’s not clunky, slow and illogical?īut that said, not using any other process/RAM heavy application while you’re using RFC can make a difference in its operating speed. This software is pretty much universally hated!!Ĭlunky, slow and illogical – it’s easy to see why no seems too like it. I thought it was time to have a closer look at the RFC (RAW File Convertor) software that’s supplied by Fujifilm with their cameras (and also available for download from their website) Part 37: The X-Pro2 Review: How to Use the Fujifilm RFC RAW Convertor: Part OneĪ bit of a departure from talking about the X-Pro series for this instalment! And I believe I read somewhere that they will soon be working on a Windows version.Continuing the blog serialisation of my popular X-Pro Series lust/hate/love story: Oh! Forgot to mention a superb skin retouching tool as well. Overall a very clean and modern piece of software for Mac users (sorry PC folks) which is utilizing modern software development techniques. The interface is adaptable with everything in one place and can get out of your way when there are things you don't want to use. Its patch tool is so clean and fast as are texture and frame application and the presets if you need them. I have been researching programs like On1 Photo Raw and Macphun Luminar while using Picktorial and I know for sure I shall stick with Pictorial.īesides having its own raw engine developed by their team which just happens to support Fuji X files from my Xt1 and Xpro2 it also has some of those refined adjustments for Tonality, color, sharpening, noise reduction, blur feature and the list goes on and all of these can be applied as local adjustments through brushes and gradient tools as well as through the universal image settings. I have been using Picktorial since version 2 and now version 3.
