We received a new rumor, that seems to confirm what we have written in our previous post (click here). Fuji really seems to collaborate with Adobe to develop the software-programs and make them compatible with the X-Trans technology.
Our source had a conversation with Fuji staff at the Photo Plus Pro in NYC. Fuji told him that the X-E1 system has been delivered to Adobe, Apple and DXO and is now working with them towards tweaking the RAW file processing from the new Fuji X-Trans sensor. According to this new rumor we can be confident that Fuji is really moving to solve this problem.
He also told us that at the Photo Plus Pro there was a really big interest of photographers to check out the X-E1 (stealing the show to other cameras). He checked out the camera with the new zoom lens, and enjoyed this “sweet package“.
Thanks T. 😉

But LR 4.2 works with the X-E1 RAW files just fine – look…:

What exactly will they change to make it more “compatible”?
Frank,
There are pixel peepers out there who like to blow pictures up to 100% or more and look for color smearing, such as in green foliage.
Its mostly needed for extensive “PP” (pixel porno)
The trained eye sadly doesn’t have to look very far. What happens at 100% also shows up ‘sized down’ to normal full-screen size on any decent monitor. There is a lot to be improved honestly, or lets say: even more potential.
Not understandable for me is why Fuji doesn’t simply builds an option for the camera to produce DNGs. That would solve quite some of these problems.
