      I'm using Adobe Lightroom in combination with Negative Lab Pro to convert scanned 35mm film negatives into digital positives. I use a Fuji XT3 to scan and unfortunately the RAW WORMS ARTIFACTS are extremely visible to the point where I'd rather want to use Capture One instead.. I sincerely hope that Adobe adresses this issue soon!

      Would you be able to share a link to a sample scan file please? (e.g. Dropbox hosted) 

      Actual data - including the input file, and not only showing the bad result - is always helpful. Thanks.

        Hi there,

         

        We are sorry about the issue you are facing while working with Fuji Raw files in Lightroom Classic.

         

        Would you mind sharing the version of Lightroom Classic you are using by going to the Help menu > System info? Also, are you looking the images at a 1:1 zoom level or are you zoomed in to the image and are you applying sharpening to the image prior to seeing the wormy artifacts?

        I refuse to belive that you guys at Adobe dont know about this issue. It has been a problem for many years. Its so annoying that you guys never even bother to fix this issue, and every time someone writes about it, you just pretend to not know about it and ask for screenshots and stuff.

        Its easy: Adobe are NOT able to render Fujifilm raw files! Adobe destroyes Fujifilm raw files. You have to use Capture One or convert raw files to dng to get usable results. Its called x trans worming, and it is basically noise, ugly noise. 

        I am a professional photographer who has previously worked for AP, Reuters and such. Ive used Nikon cameras, some canon, Leica, and recently (last 3 years) Fujifilm. No issue with Nikon Raw files. A big issue with Fuji raw files. And its a shame that you guys at Adobe never bothers to listen to customers. This issue have been repeated for years. There are lots of threads about this, youtube videos and such. You dont need screenshot, latest firmware info and stuff. You just need to fix how Adobe renders Fuji raw files....

          FYI this is a user-to-user forum where we help each other out with the application as it stands. The contributors here are no more "you guys at Adobe" than YOU are - aside from those few user specifically flagged as Adobe employees, and even those are probably not the persons who would perform any "fix".

           

          I am well aware that non-Bayer sensor artefacts have been a distinct issue, but not everyone here owns such a camera; there have been various generations of such; and reportedly Adobe's support even for a given X-Trans model has sometimes been rewritten across software versions. So it is surely reasonable IMO to concentrate on exploring demonstrable effects with the specific data and app version relevant to you. Blanket assertions are merely that. To observe that Nikon Raw files convert fine, may be true but is simply moot: we wouldn't say that someone plays the piano OK, so that must make him good at the saxophone too. Separate competences: a Fuji non-Bayer sensor produces an objectively different nature of Raw file than e.g. a Nikon does. So not only is the raw conversion bound to involve some different coding: the adjustment strategies and settings on the part of the user will naturally call for a slightly different approach too. One can then either engage constructively in being helped with that, or... refuse.
