A NEW way to edit FUJI raw files for MAXIMUM SHARPNESS

Рет қаралды 22,057

3 жыл бұрын

In today's video, I'm sharing a brand new workflow for getting super sharp high res images from your fuji camera in adobe lightroom and ACR. This is my best method so far for sharpening and getting the most detail from a fuji raw file. In the video, I discuss how to sharpen Fuji raw files, how to quadruple the megapixel count and how to save these images into your Lightroom catalogue. There are a few workarounds, but Adobe Lightroom will soon be getting an update which will streamline the process even further. Be sure to subscribe for future updates.

Thanks for sharing this technique Ian. I switched from Fuji to Sony late last year, but I still have thousands of Fuji files taken over the past several years to cull and edit, so this will come in handy for my best images. As mentioned, I no longer shoot Fuji, but I'm a big fan of your channel, most of your content is applicable to users of all camera brands, and so I'm staying subscribed.

Great video! I recently used this option for images published on a billboard, worked very well even if I don't think if it was really necessary because of the big viewing distance. BTW, the folder with the original RAW is already in LR, so you don't need the import dialog box again, just right click on the folder and "synchronise folder".

Hello Ian. Yet another very helpful video. I will be trying this new workflow with my portfolio images. Previously I have been using Capture One to render the RAW image file. Save as a TIFF then continue my editing process in Lightroom/Photoshop. The results seemed more natural and less "wormy" particularly in images with trees. I very rarely add sharpening in Photoshop due to the "wormy" artefact issue although some images get away with sharpening. Can't wait to give this new method ago and compare the results.

I've just tried it using a file from my GFX 50S, and it works. But extracting the enhanced TIFF file from photoshop took quite a few seconds on my pretty powerful desktop, and that is just for one photo. A lot of toing and froing which I don't need for 99.9% of my images, but handy to know for the odd special one. Looking forward to the LR version. Thanks Ian.

Hi Ian, love your videos and appreciate all the effort you go to to share your awesome Fuji skills. I’m still getting my head round shooting RAW on my X-T3 and am wondering when choosing settings in the IQ menu if it’s best to leave everything at defaults or set HT, ST, color, NR etc to the same as a favorite JPEG simulation recipe in custom settings? Or is it best to keep the IQ settings vanilla and then apply a “look” to RAW files in capture one or x-raw studio or Lightroom? In which case, is eterna the best simulation to use for RAW, as it’s so flat and desaturated? Or does any of this even matter with RAW? I guess I’m just looking for some clarity on how settings in the IQ menu impact RAW files, if at all. Thanks for your help!

@ian_worth 3 жыл бұрын

Hi, the ht,st etc.. will only be applied to the jpeg and not the raw file. Try using natural live view for the best representation of how the raw file will look on your lcd, you can find it in the menus if you dig around 👍👍😊

I moved over to capture one for my fuji files and used that for around 7 months, recently I went back and had a play around in lightrooms and I always seem to get more pleasing results in lightroom, I really don't care about the whole worming thing, unless your viewing the file at 200% you can't see it anyway

The right answer is in the middle. Use Capture One for editing, because colors and micro contrast is way better in Capture One. Then for the final, export as TIFF, import into Photoshop and do this final step.

I’ve tried this method on a xt4 iso 6400 raf and the resulta are a compltly mess. I got lot of artifacts and chromatic noise. I suppose it doesn’t work well with high iso.

@ian_worth 3 жыл бұрын

Probably not as sharpening noise will only make it worse 👍

@kronkite1530 2 жыл бұрын

I know it means extra expense & more programs but… if you load even high iso and noisy files into Topaz DeNoise AI and manually adjust luminance and colour noise reduction it works wonders. Then you can export a TIFF into Lightroom, PS etc. and do the rest of the steps/editing there. DeNoise also handles sharpening so well (subtle and controllable) that I rarely need any extra, though Sharpen AI is good too, when needed, as is Gigapixel AI if I want a much bigger print (I find that better than the PS enhanced method as it’s so controllable). If I do sharpen in PS I prefer Highpass to Smart Sharpen or Unsharp Mask, then use the layer mode (usually Overlay or Soft Light) and opacity slider - or brushes in areas I don’t want to sharpen - to taste.

Import via copy to Lightroom, show file in Explorer (or Finder in MacOS), open in Camera Raw, save from Photoshop, import via add into Lightroom... crikey, that's a lot of steps! I've just been importing my camera-original files using Adobe Bridge, opening selected files into Camera Raw, invoking Enhance/Super Resolution, and then Importing everything into Lightroom in one go. Basically the same steps, I guess, but less jumping around...

Do you never use the HighPass filter for sharpening? I found that artefacts seem to show less. 30"20" prints all day long even 60"x 40" if you stand the correct distance from it to view the image rather than the morons who are only looking for fault! Do you know if you stand close to a Turner painting you can see his brush strokes, so I was told by a seven-year-old who was fascinated she could see his handiwork. Me I just prefer to stand back and look at any painting he created. Cheers for the info Ian.

Medium format is not about resolution but gives more dynamic and tonal range. Their are a lot of mixed results. I use primes as much as is possible. Sharpness is then no issue.

As i've said, one work around is to render out a tiff file in capture one after doing basic processing, then do everything else in lightroom or photoshop.

The files saved by Adobe Super Resolution are pretty porky, but if you re-save the final versions as TIFF with LZW compression, the result will be no larger than a camera-original file with the same pixel count, or at least that's the result I've been getting. LZW is a lossless compression method, so file quality is not impaired. It you don't want to increase the pixel count of your files to save on space, you can just run the Enhance Details step but skip the Super Resolution step,

@ian_worth 3 жыл бұрын

You could just select enhance details and not check the super res, this will give you a cleaner image, you can do that in Lightroom if you right click and click enhanced details 👍

the GFX cameras do not have issues with rendering in Adobe... the GFX use Bayer type sensor filters - the X-trans cameras use... X-trans - and that can be a challenge with Adobes more or less crappy software ... use Capture One, and you’ll never see artifacts with either Fuji camera output
