Since it's the official raw file converter, I'll use this workflow as the baseline for comparison with other workflows.

Raw File Converter EX 2.0 powered by SilkyPix (RFC for short) is the RAF converter program that is supplied free by Fujifilm. For an average photo shoot session of 250 photos, that's roughly going to eat up 75GB of space for uncompressed TIFF! At a typical convention where I shoot about 5 - 6 photo shoots, that's pushing 450GB for a single day.įinally, the speed at which the batch process conversion of RAF files is another important factor. I typically shoot around 10,000 digital shots a year, so I'd very much like the process to be as automatic and quick as possible. While the RAF file is pretty compact, an equivalent uncompressed TIFF takes up about 6 times as much space. While it may not be terribly important since the colors may change during the editing process, I'd still like to have the colors as close to what I captured. At the end of the day, I'd prefer to spend less time editing and more time shooting.įile size also makes the list since things can get out of hand very quickly! What I'm Looking for in a Workflowįor evaluating workflows, I'm looking at:Ĭolor made it to the top of the list for evaluation when I was observing the difference conversion flows. It's something that I now have to take into consideration when choosing a workflow. One interesting finding was that how the RAF is converted has a huge impact on the color of the converted image. Capture One will not recognize it as a valid file to import.Ĭonverting the RAF to TIFF will work and is recognized as a valid file to import.Ĭonverting the RAF to DNG and using exiftool to change the Make of the camera from 'FUJIFILM' to 'FUJIFILM_' works and will import. Simply converting the RAF to DNG will not work.

RAF files are not recognized as valid files for import. I summed up my findings for Capture One version 10.0.2:

Through trial and error, I learned about the peculiarities of trying to get a GFX 50S file into Capture One. I needed to figure out a workflow that will let me continue to use Capture One. For my future sanity I needed to tackle this problem sooner rather than later. I wasn't necessarily unhappy with the results, but afterwards I realized that now my catalogs were split between Capture One and Lightroom. However, it did do the job of importing the RAF files and had options to change the color profiles to correspond to the in camera film simulations.

To my dismay, Capture One Pro does not, and as of this writing will not, support the GFX 50S.įor my first couple of shoots, I just used Lightroom since I just wanted to edit the photos quickly and didn't really want to spend the time to fuss around with figuring out a new workflow yet. Coming back to Lightroom was a frustrating experience after using Capture One Pro for the past 4 years. I use Capture One Pro as my main editing and management software, and I love its workflow and rendering of images. The transition from the A7rII to the GFX hasn't been without its hiccups though. Compared to the Sony A7rII, the GFX's superior ergonomics is what won me over.

I primarily use the GFX 50S for environmental portraiture, going on location or shooting guerrilla style. There's already an abundance of articles and blog posts singing the praises of the GFX 50S, and delving into its technical specs.
