P: Improved Fuji X-Trans Support?

I'm reviving this thread because, as a Fujifilm shooter & Canon shooter, I feel that while Canon (Bayer sensors) workflows are increasing in speed within LRC, the opposite is true for the majority of my workflow which deals with Fujifilm (XTrans sensors). 

I understand that we're in the minority of photography systems, but it would be very encouraging to know that the devs at Lightroom are moving towards creating code that helps improve XTrans performance, not hinder it. 

Adobe is too busy fixing typos in Polish translations instead of handling the real problems. It's been ten years since this thread was opened, and their best solution is a computationally intensive process that litters your storage with additional files at twice the size of the original raw. 

At least allow us to export files using the Raw Details method, so we're not juggling duplicates!

I have the same issue and the Enhanced Details feature that has been implemented since does improve the issue but does not solve it. Furthermore it is quite annoying to have to convert every single image, which takes time and hard-disk space. Please Adobe could you please fix this?

Not if I'm changing to my 200-600mm lens to shoot a bird sitting on a branch of a tree so far away that you would not be able to see the detail in the plumage without binoculars.

I have a Sony camera, and even in the latest version of photoshop 2022, I still get strange artifacts and "worming" if I import the raw files for processing and save them in psd format for further editing. If I process them in another software such as Capture 1 or DXO Photolab, there is no problem. Photolab 5 fully supports Sony and Fuji X trans files. Adobe just do not give a toss, they make their money elsewhere and pay little attention to their original breadwinning software these days. If you want trouble free workflow take Adobe out of it.

I totally agree! I've been complaining about the X-Trans sensor for a while now. A little further up on this page I have examples of how a normal sensor compares to X-Trans. I intended that to show how Lightroom is failing, but it also shows how Fujifilm is failing.

Edit: I dont know how to tag someone. I thought @ + name was enough...

@Eirik Honestly Fuji are just as culpable. Adobe are not up to scratch to other RAW editors, they are 100% at fault for that, but Fuji are the ones who used a dodgy new sensor for no good reason. I wish they stuck to bayer...

There have been significant improvements over the years. The only difference between Lightroom/AdobeRAW and others comes down to personal preference. So either build yourself a profile on switch to some other tool. X-Trans (like Foveon) should have never left the research lab, interesting but useless concepts. 

In progress (profanity deleted) 6 years not enough for Adobe? I think they keep this thread here just to pacify us so that we don't keep asking about it. Adobe treats us like dirt because they have more than enough users. The few of us who are bothered by this and leaves won't make a dent in their income. They are ignoring us cause its easy. 

Ohh, try messing around with the option of color noise reduction in X-transformer. I would leave it as low or not at all.
