New Raw Camera Support:
Fujifilm: X-Pro2 compressed RAF.

  • Improvements:
    • Greatly improved highlight recovery when using some DNG Camera Profiles (DCP files or embedded in some DNG images), especially those that include color lookup tables.
    • Stronger, more effective Highlights (Neighborhood Adaptive) and Shadows (Neighborhood Adaptive) processing, especially for the higher end of the adjustment range.
    • No longer using the embedded DNG camera profiles by default for some of the recent Leica models (SL, T and Q). The embedded camera profiles do not seem to be well liked by many so I have now switched to my own custom ICC profiles for these models, the manufacturer’s embedded profiles are still available in the Input Profile menu.
  • Bug Fixes:
    • Worked around an issue introduced in Apple’s Mac OS X 10.11.4 update when using the Highlights (Neighborhood Adaptive) and Shadows (Neighborhood Adaptive) adjustments. On Mac OS X 10.11.4 the brightness would jump greatly at a certain level when using either of these adjustments.
    • Fixed an issue with the Iridient Reveal and High Pass sharpening methods where zooming in to high magnification, typically 300% or more, could cause the sharpening to not be applied correctly and in some cases the preview would also be very dark.
    • Fixed a bug with several of the monochrome conversion methods which could result in the appearance of white speckles in very dark regions, particularly when using negative values for the Brightness Shadows or Brightness Midtones adjustments.
    • Fixed a crashing bug with RAW support for some old Canon models, mostly from 2007 or earlier models (original 5D, 1Ds, …).

Fujifilm X-Pro2 and XF35mmF2 Developed Concurrently

X-Pro2aXF35mmF2
Fujifilm released a behind the scenes of how the X-Pro 2 and XF35 F2 came into existence concurrently as technological steps forward for the company from the previous generation of Fujifilm cameras. I wonder if we might see a second generation XF35F1.4 at some point since it is mentioned in Fuji’s article. The XF35F1.4 was the first Fuji lens to blow me away, but I have stayed away from it for a while now because of its dated design. I greatly prefer WR lenses that are silent when focusing and reasonably compact, like the XF35F2.
