P: Improved Fuji X-Trans Support?

Is Fuji X-Trans support being worked on?I appreciate that the support is better now than it was, but the reality is that Lightroom is still a long way behind other RAW developers, all of which are less well funded and with smaller teams working on the software.Lightroom has been the leader in RAW processing an image cataloging as far back as I can recall; but with the Fuji X-Trans files many people I know are leaving Adobe Lightroom for one of the many other developers, all of which are producing far better results than Adobe Lightroom.Ones I have personally tested are as follows: Iridient DeveloperPhoto NinjaLightZoneCapture OneApertureSilkyPixRaw TherapeeIridient is very good, and this is a piece of software made by a single man.My question is, if he can get it right, why can't Adobe? They have been leaders in innovation for many years but it seems in some areas now they are falling behind - I have never seen so many people leave a major developer for smaller independent ones, but to Fuji users (both enthusiasts and professionals) it's a pretty simple decision when you compare results.So all I'd like to know is if my patience sticking with Lightroom is justified, and whether a solution is being worked on - or will always be worked on. Or is it a case that the users wanting such a change are not enough to support such work.

    Hi Everyone,

    We are happy to announce the release of Lightroom Classic CC 8.2. With this release, we’ve introduced a new feature called Enhanced Details.

    Photographers using cameras featuring X-Trans sensors should see an improved rendering of their Fuji raw files.

    To learn more about how this new feature works check out the blog post:  https://theblog.adobe.com/enhance-details/

    Cheers,
    Carissa

    Coloration and rendering (gamma?) do not appear to be working correctly in all cases.

    Does Adobe thinks to improve the demosaicing method for Fujifilm X-Trans sensor in future? I'm sure they notice the thousands and thousands complains and I understand that the current demosaicing save the image from a different artifacts so I'm just asking is Adobe Staff working on this problem?

    I found out that the last version of the raw support resolve the issue with the maze pattern due the green channels equilibration on Olympus which I'm grateful, but I hope it would not take that long to fix (if ever do) the problems with the Fujifilm X-Trans sensor.

    Would you please be so kind to make Lightroom work with the Fuji X-sensor RAW files (eg Fuji X10, X-pro1 )?

    Dear Adobe-Team,
    it's a bad joke. I'm using PS since PS6 now, and i always used LR/ACR/Bridge or my Photowork (Nikon/Canon). Now i'm using Fuji to and we all know, that Adobe can not handle the RAF-Files well! The Details are smooth painted with mushy details.
    And we all know, irident or Capture1 are making the job really well. I cannont accept, that Adobe knows this problems since the xpro1 came out and nothing changed till now!
    Now i switched to Capture1. What a shame!

    Please support Fuji X E1 RAW better than it is implemented at the moment in LR 4.3. The IQ is far from acceptable. Till you have improved I have to work with jpg! See attached differences. Thanks for updating the RAW support

    They confirmed in some update notes some months & years back that it was aknowledged to be an issue and they were working on it. That gave Fuji suers hope but I think it's long enough that we can deduce this is BS. 

    Iridient and Capture 1 work just fine and they are run by far smaller teams, it's basically not something Adobe want to do for Fuji users.

    Probably too busy working out how to avoid paying fair taxes

    I had an online chat yesterday with an Adobe Technical Support person that relates to this forum topic (in fact he even directed me to it!).  I thought I'd add a couple of screenshots incase it is of interest to anyone. I trialled LR for a month and love the ease of use and workflow...but feel frustrated with the RAW image quality. I contacted Adobe to ask 1. if they acknowledged the issue, and 2. if they were working on a solution.  It appears they do - but only have a non-disclosed timeline.  Fingers crossed the timeline is soon - because then I will happily buy into the product.

    No problem, moving to Capture 1 is like a  free bump up to another 8 megapixels! Really enjoy processing my old Fuji X Trans images and seeing the new detail.
