Adobe just released Camera Raw 8.5 release candidate with support for the TCL-X100 and it also fixes a bug for the X-T1 (click here).
“Fixed issue with Fujifilm X-T1 raw images appearing too bright at high ISO settings when using Dynamic Range 200% and 400%. Unfortunately, this fix may affect the appearance of existing images captured with this combination of settings. It is recommended that you (1) purge the Camera Raw cache via the Camera Raw Preferences dialog, and (2) review images shot at ISO settings higher than 1600 for unexpected brightness changes.”

Fuji should provide Adobe with a bare-bones converter as a plug-in for Photoshop and Lightroom. ACR/Lightroom will never be great for raw conversions, though they are very good for editing, as they have never been great for other raw conversions either.
Lightroom’s X-trans raw conversion is very similar to the camera’s jpegs, in terms of details and smearing. Fuji supposedly worked with Adobe over a year ago when Adobe released the improved X-trans processing, so I think Fuji is fine with the way Lightroom deals with X-trans, for better or worse.
ACR does not give the same, or similar, results as converting the files in-camera. If I had to use an external raw converter, I would use Capture One, though it is not as good as the in-camera converter.
i think it was only with the film simulations that they worked together on. details, sharpness, etc. is just as it was before.
Silly question, but this ACR update will come to LR5.4 soon, right?
Always does. Probably as LR 5.5.
Well it used to, every since CC there’s a massive delay between ACR and LR. 🙁
If there’s one word that sticks to anything related to this camera range: bug fix. The (Bug Fi)X series. It starts getting very annoying and who doesn’t see it that nothing in this system can be designed, released and even supported out of the market in a first time right sense, is completely blind.
