P: Improved Fuji X-Trans Support?

[pinkypunk35]

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.

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.

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 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?

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!
