@@careylymanjones DXO PhotoLab 7 supports DNG File. Here is a link: support.dxo.com/hc/en-us/articles/6941915638045-Which-DNG-files-are-supported-by-DxO-PhotoLab-as-input

@@LashahVideo Sadly, PL doesn't support the DNG files from the Pixel 8 Pro (or most recent smartphones). After I posted my comment, I found a thread in the DxO support forums, where it was explained that DxO doesn't consider most smartphone DNG files to be true RAW files, and doesn't support them. The consensus was to edit the DNG file in another program, and save it to TIFF, with a P3 profile. PL CAN open that, but the advanced denoise functions are disabled, and of course, no lens corrections, as DxO doesn't have optical modules for smartphone lenses. It still does a very nice job with my mirrorless camera RAW files. Just wish it could do the smartphone files.

This is not advertising; I'm not affiliated with DXO in any capacity. It's an honest review of a mainstream photography software application with good customer and technical support. If you are already using Darktable (open-source software, aka free) and it works for you, that's cool. But your statement would be the equivalent of me saying, "Windows and Mac OS are all hype; I use Linux." Really! There are sites and videos for those statements, but it's not applicable to every video that discusses software options that differ from what you use.

@@greger984 Thank you watch for watching

Thank you so much for watching.

@@marsrii4372 DXO is a DAM (Digital Asset Manager) and a very good one. I will do a video on the DAM features of DXO.

How is C1 handling larger collections (50-100k) nowadays? I stopped using it years ago as the DAW part was unbearable slow and buggy. The editor of DXO is great but the DAW part is too basic for my needs.

@@HaraldWalker The application that I’ve used that can manage really large photo collections is Photo Mechanic Pro (it can handled up to 1 million) and it really fast. I never keep more than 60,000 photo in my collection got C1 and Lightroom because over that amount it start to slow down. Lightroom has the best archival system of the two.

@@HaraldWalker I imported my Lroom cat with 70k plus photos into Cap One, and it took 3 hours. it kept all my collections, keywords, color tags intact and it seems no slower than Lightroom. Of course I lost all but the most basic edits. The raw editor works similarly. I will use the cloud at work to output my edits into tifs. It’s a steep price to pay, but I had to be free from adobe’s ransomware…

@@greger984 thank you for watching, subscribing and the kind comments.

@@geoffreykingston4866 thank you for watching and the kind comment. Much appreciated. I have done other videos on DXO (earlier versions).

@@BPetiBP here is a link that explains how the machine learning, actually works. www.dxo.com/technology/demosaicing/

I totally agree; a live view is needed. In the Fujifilm Demonstration, they showed live view, so I am checking to see if something on the camera triggers or turns on live view.

This tethering tool is for photos only. It doesn't do video.

Yay! Thank you!

Because these photos will be placed on social media and the equipment that renders those photos, your monitor, mobile phone, and tablet used SRGB.

Totally agree with you.

@@LashahVideo I may be wrong but I thought the point is that the Fuji Camera is geared to do the heavy lifting by taking the Raw file from the downloaded version on your Mac/PC, doing the conversion and sending a TIFF file (or JPEG) back to your PC i.e. you can then work on the TIFF in Photoshop/Lightroom/Capture One/whatever etc to produce the final image ready for printing/digital filing. In summary, you are provided with a new Raw/TIFF with most of your settings included. Needs some practice to start with but it's fairly intuitive. In summary, that's why you have to connect the camera but I think Fuji have been cute by keeping it simple, adjusting chromatic aberration and other such techy detail is already catered for by the standard software out there i.e. it's not a RAW processing suite to rival Lightroom/Affinity/Capture One/Camera Raw etc. Hope this makes sense? Good luck

@@johnjennings1176 I thought you were referring to eliminating the camera in order to create better film simulations. That basically what Fuji RAWStudio X does. SilkyPIX Developer Studio 11 is a great alternative to Lightroom as a pure RAW Editor.

Thank you for watching

Thank you for watching. I am currently doing a video on using Capture One with Nik Collections 6.4. Should be available in a couple of days.

You will be using the plugin app for Lightroom. You have the app; look at the instructions for Capture One (less than three paragraphs). Just remember the location of where you installed the Lightroom Plugin.

@@LashahVideo Alright man !! will try that . 🙂☕🙏

There is a distinct look between digital photos compares to film photos. Digital is often sharper, grainless, and with more contrast. The perfection of the digital devices that creates the photos is its greatest flaw (from excellent metering, flawless autofocusing, low light capabilities, etc.) The limitation of the film is its character. Its unpredictable outcome is its strength. We do everything we can to mimic that limitation of film photos and videos (video is just a series of motion jpegs). Grain produced in most software and digital cameras is monochromatic; dehancer creates both monochromatic and color grain. Dehancer allows you to control your grain in the shadows, highlights, and mid-tones. Dehancer also allows you to sharpen your photo by using high-resolution grain instead of digital pixels. And achieving the best film look from a digital camera requires, in a sense, turning off all sharpening, contrast, noise reduction, and dynamic range from your digital camera. I have a newer video on Dehancer (with a new update), which gives better details on how to use it to get great results. And since my last Dehancer video, they have released a major update with newer GUI and features, so I will be doing another video within the next two weeks. Thanks for your comment and for watching.

@@LashahVideo Thank you, Marcus,! That's really interesting. I have subscribed to your channel and will definitely watch out for this new video. 👍

Thank you for the warm comment and for watching the video.

It’s a 50/50 chance. I find manually adjusting keystone feature more reliable.

I've had this same issue, did you manage to fix it?

No, not with Dehancer Photo. It is not RAW Compatible and only works with 16 Bit Tiff, with the Color Profile of SRGB.

Glad it was helpful!

Glad you enjoyed it

Thank you for watching

You're very welcome!

The AF is fine on the xh1 and xt4. The real problem is that the lenses needs firmware update to match the AF technology in the camera. That's why everyone is raving about the XF 50mm f1.0. Some of the lenses like the xf35mm f1.4 and the xf23mm f1.4 are so old that a firmware for the lens would be useless. So fujifilm cameras currently will never have the AF or Eye AF of the Canon or Sony (I currently have a Canon EOS R and I am selling it for the new GFX 100S), but it gets the job done.

@@LashahVideo Thank you for your answer man, I aprecier that.

Both! But Luts in Capture One does have the ability to use an opacity slider. So your LUTs have to be created in at least 25% increment.

@@LashahVideo ahhhhhh that’s how they make the percentages! Thx

sounds like a Mac issue. Check your Security and Privacy Setting (in your System Preferences) to make sure that the Fujifilm X RAW Software is not being blocked.

Thanks for watching

What about wide open?

Yes I would definitely recommend the lens and note that it is also important that you purchase the Samyang Lens Station to customize the lens and for firmware updates.

Many thanks!

Giacomo Zonco It’s an amazing lens and extremely competitive with the canon RF 85MMF 1.2. I would strongly recommend purchasing the Samyang RF Lens Station for customizing and updating the lens firmware.
