Straight up Omar, you're one of the best UA-camrs to watch. Love your vids! I always exit your videos with a smile
The look on that chicken’s face after you called them ducks! 😂😂😂
HAHAHAHAHAAHAHA
Im a beginner jpeg shooter. And never have i been convinced to shoot raw.. until now. Thanks man!! Very helpful! You earned my sub!
I really love classic chrome... one of the most beautiful films evers
Thank you Omar! I just got a X100F and have been freaking out with my images. I shoot Nikon
mostly. This really was helpful! Thank You!
I bought Fuji for the JPEG but switched back to RAW pretty soon after because I always tend to be super nitpicky when it comes to my edits and want to have it exactly the way I want instead of leaving that to the camera.
I'm doing a mixture now. Using JPEGS to get a fast result, and adding the RAWS later if the situation calls for it. I find Fuji places a kind of exposure curve in both the JPEG and RAW images that I really like. Like a S-curve.
Do you know what the best part is using Capture One for Fujifilm files? Capture One is using the used film simulation for the RAW file straight from the start.
You don't need to see them all ugly :) Priceless. Everybody, create Omar presets, your RAW files won't be ugly.
I just wanted to say that by the end of every one of your videos I am smiling. It doesn’t matter how 18% grey I start, you move people’s vibrancy sliders up. It’s like Fuji/photography/therapy. I don’t even own a Fuji (yet) just wondering what to jump into the system with. Thinking xt2 or xt30. The v small size of the xt30 may feel too small to me coming from a canon 7dmk2. Thank you for all your efforts and humour and of course the sharing of you skills.
Craig Morris made my day there
I think I need weather sealing so I suppose it will have to be xt2. Was wondering what would you choose if I can only get one lens as a start?
Oh Omar, oh Omar 🤦🏻♂️ they are not ducks those are piglets, everybody knows that! 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
How dare you use other brands for professional work, how dare you use lightroom with your fujifilm photos
Awesome video! I had almost given up on the RAW files with my X100V! Thank you!
Hi Omar, great video! What monitor are you using when you’re editing your photos? Thx!
This saved me! I was about to start shooting jpeg only, thank you!!
great video! thx! The streetshot would benefit cropping away the red machine in the left side IMO :-) (but that's another video - i know)
I love that your first instinct upon seeing the distressed lady looking at the puddle was to capture it.
Great video... just a quick question; do you have any video on how to chose the right kelvin value in camera. For instance how do you use those gray cards you mentioned? 🤔
Thanks for fixing in LR. My son uses Canon and I have Fuji so we kept PS/LR? Very helpful, entertaining, and educational. Great video.
maybe it's cause im still new but i pretty much just work with fuji jpegs and make in camera alterations using the raw conversion, and fine tune with snapseed
Omar should I be shooting my Fujifilm in jpeg? I’ve been using raw...
With substance as always! Thank you Omar!
Omar, I know this is an old video, but hopefully you will see this question. Have you ever had a situation where you actually love your raw SOOC and your jpg film sim just didn't do it for you? Rarely do I like a raw over a jpg, but I had that happen on a recent trip. Photos of my kid and cousins looked way better raw. So I just ended up saving the raw file and not editing it at all. But I am not sure how to get that look, should I look at the details in LR or something to see what the numbers were? Any suggestions on this would be appreciated!
Congrats on reaching 1K subs, Omar. :) 🇸🇬
Excellent video Omar. I still shoot my X-S1 and S200EXR. Outstanding cameras even today.
My lightroom classic doesn't have the camera matching option to use the simulations, it doesn't even have Adobe Color. It just says Color and when I click on it, it gives me the options - Color, Monochrome or Browse. Is camera matching a plugin? How do I enable this option?
Still relevant to me since I often use my Fuji XT2 and want to employ LightRoom but I have been caught up in the LR vs Capture1 debate. Ugh. Guidance? Thanks in advance. Thumbs up.
I kinda zero knowledge about handling RAW data and now I see why . thanks Omar
Great video, Omar. Now I'm going to ask a question that shows that I have never brought a Fuji photo into Lightroom. Did you add a Fuji profile to Lightroom to get the film simulations to show in the Develop module? This is new to me. Thanks.
The film simulations are in Lightroom automatically. Update CC
@@ogonzilla Oh, that's cool. Thanks.
You make many good videos, but I really don't feel you prooved RAW files to be better than JPEGs. They may be, but you just showed us that if you don't edit the one and you do edit the other, the one which gets edited will end out better or just as good. One could say you just showed us that editing a picture may improve it. But that is now what your title tells us.
Though I always loved your videos but Capture One pro 20 does the exact same thing.
If you use a film style in camera that is what you would see from the in camera jpg - which means also the jpg embedded in the RAW file for an instant view - and so is also applied as the 'Auto' in the curve selection by Capture One. For most cameras the default 'Auto' setting will usually pick the (generic for the camera body in use) 'Film Standard' Curve which will typically be a curve that Phase will have developed to provide a starting point 'generally agreeable look' for the RAW file.
Replying two years later but thanks! I always wondered why my RAWs in Capture One looked similar to the JPEG on import, and this is a really useful feature as I have an XT1 which is not new enough to use Capture One’s version of the Fuji film profiles.
Do you turn down the grain on your settings? I feel like all of my images from my x100v are so grainy.
Check you auto ISO. Test at ISO 160
*I can’t bypass that*
I don’t know why but that mad me laugh so hard, great video!
Hi Omar, thank you for your wonderful videos. I swear by you. Do you have any videos talking about shooting both RAW+JPG simultaneous and how that may impact the workflow. I'm considering shooting both but I'm afraid of the duplication and how to handle deleting during the selection, labeling, etc. Thanks!
wow - the ACROS SOOC is fantastic. I shoot everything in RAW but I think I'll give ACROS a go this weekend
Great video again so helpful tha ks 👍 I'm impressed by the spontaneous English accent now and again too btw...very good!! 👍 😁
Omar what's your opinion about the X-T1? Have you used any X-T1 I'm the past? How does the image quality compares to the X-T2?
I am asking this because recently I bought a X-T1 and I am a bit disappointed with the IQ. The jpegs (main reason I bought the Fuji) are a bit bad in the sense that at 800 > ISO < 1600 the colours look like water colour. Is this normal? Even at ISO400 for example I can notice slightly this effect.
The camera has got all the option default. DR100, sharpening, etc all set to 0.
Hi Omar I'm using a Fuji film s1000fd Im not sure how to change to raw format now I'm using jpeg format.
Is it possible to see how the camera interprets the jpeg? What recipe does it use?
What a funny clip, thanks a lot, Omar!
Damn, man, we've got some really similar taste when it comes to process our pics !
You pushed the exact dials I use in pretty much the same direction/amount.
That's a nice surprise !
Does Capture One work better than Lightroom for Fuji RAWs? I have an issue with Lightroom cause it’s not able to read Fuji RAWs until after you import them to Lightroom. Anyone know if Capture One has the same issue?
if you see a mad chicken on the street looking for you... don't duck him...new dad joke from a new subscriber, getting my T-30 tomorrow ! great content! thanks!
The rooster duck 😭😭😭😂😂😂 Great video btw
Im new to Photography and planning to get x-t20. Should I go with the kit which it comes with 18-55mm or I’ll just buy the body and 35mm f2. Btw, I never had a camera before. Fuji got my attention and you inspired me to start photography. Im bored taking pictures with my iphone 😂.
This is a great video, thank you for putting together (as always!). Any tips on avoiding wormy worms in LR using Fuji Raw?
Hi Omar
I noticed on the first image you was using a canon len with your Fuji Camera, what adapter do you use and do you get auto focus with it?
Omar as usual terrific info. Couple of questions.. From what i recall, raw files are indestructible, can the same be said for jpgs? When editing jpg files, when does degradation set in? Also I noticed when checking info for a photo with the same settings for both raw and jpg files, the the f stops for raw files are stepped down. Is this normal? Finally, what is the name of that lobster dish and where did you have it? Madrid or somewhere in Andalusia? P.S. Using on1 Photo Raw...pretty good.
Great video Omar.
So Lightroom Fuji Film simulation is not 100% accurate, i wonder why that is.... is it that hard?
Omar changes some slides and then its almost the same.
Why doesnt Adobe embed those "changes" in its simulations? Is fuji doing something special in camera?
How did you get the Fuji color profiles in Lightroom?
Hi Omar! I've got a xt20 but I'm not able to custom a profile for jpeg and another one for raw file! Can you teach me? And other question.. what's the difference between raw-n and raw-f? Thank you (:
If you did the same editing to the jpeg photo would it come out better?
Did you say vernageling? (5:04) Never heard that word outside my own country (Netherlands).
Great Video! The film sims and great JPEGs were my main reason for switching to Fuji from Sony. I have been shooting RAW+JPEG while i learn the system and its so great to be able to change the film sim later if you change your mind. Quick capture one question.....Capture one adds some sharpening to your raw correct? Do you often add more?
When did Lightroom get these fuji film sims??? Is this a new thing...I thought that was a Capture One feature only
I can never replicate or even come close to imitating the jpeg. it's too good!
Omar, how do you change the font for the Library, Develop, Map, Book etc? 🤔
Omar please make a video on how to protect your Fuji camera
Because it’s only been 3 months since I bought xt30 in silver and recently I saw colours wearing off from the corners
Plaease help
I just got the X-T4 and Lightroom does not recognize photos taken from it
I was wondering if you have tried out one of the free programs that Fujifilm has on their website. I've been using "Raw File Converter EX 3.0 powered by SILKYPIX" (Long name haha). Do you know anything about this? If so, can you make like a comparison video with Lightroom? Since I haven't purchased Lightroom, I want to know if I am missing any features by using this program. Or perhaps how to do some of the things you can do in Lightroom in this other program. Thanks in advance.
The free Silkypix based Raw Convertor software is very good. The Interface takes a lot of getting used to but over the years of updates it has got better. The Fujifilm color simulations in that program are very close to the Jpegs out of camera and also the Lens Modulation is auto matically applied to0. You could also try the free version of Capture One Fujifilm , Fujifilm has workd closely with Capture One to get accurate Film Simulations and also top quality Raw files from Fujifilm Cameras. Cheers Ian.
@@IanKnight40 thank you for that information!
@@imseeno you are welcome.... Hope it helps. Cheers Ian.
Great video as always Omar!
Sorry Omar, but I cannot recommend using Lightroom (or ACR ) to edit Fuji X-Trans raw files. Capture One gives MUCH better cleaner, sharper images and it allows you to apply those wonderful film simulations to the raw files in post.
Is the photo in 11:00 shot at f/1, or is it a non-fuji lens?
Noob question: Where do you get those color presets? (Astia etc.)
Any thought about converting RAF to DNG to work with Lightroom? I've been hearing that RAF's on Lightroom looks not good because of worms
How do you transfer Fuji raw files to Lightroom on all platforms for Apple
I would love your opinion on this. I usually shoot photos for clients so they can upload to Instagram. Do you think it’s necessary to shoot Raw if all you’re doing is posting them to social media.? I understand that with Raw you have more data to edit in post but since Fujis jpegs are such high quality im debating if I should just shoot in jpegs. I doubt anyone would notice the difference, whats your opinion on this? Thanks
If you’re getting the results you like( and client likes) continue to do jpeg. I would suggest that you learn editing RAW in your free time . It’s a skill that is very useful/helpful especially for exposure(push and pulling), white balance and etc(that data/information RAW is known for)
I USE LUMINAR 4 AND VERRY HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS
Perfect video for asking this community. Where are the benefits and/or drawbacks by using either a film simulation style on your RAWs as a starting point or use "linear response". FYI I'm using Capture One. I'm editing a few studio portraits right now and was wondering....
Lightroom's RAW importer causes worming in the image which is why Fuji shooters don't use it. Capture One is pretty expensive, especially if you purchase the pro version. I like using the Fuji X-RAW Studio, 100% free, which utilises your cameras image processor making your image a true Fuji JPG. You can fine tune the white balance, colour, vibrancy, contrast etc. I prefer to use it over Capture One especially using the Acros film simulation. Fine tuning, adding gradients, dodge and burn can be done using DarkTable or Gimp directly to the processed JPG. I used to be a Lightroom user but their work around for Fuji TIF files is ridiculous; they recommend that you convert it to a DNG file. Every other image editor doesn't require you to do any conversions including the free and open source ones out there. Adobe is asleep behind the wheel and it's slow, old, clunky Lightroom is miles behind the competition. Having spoken to many photographers that use lightroom, the general reasoning for not moving on is because of Photoshop. I hope my long ramblings/interaction helps boost you up higher on the UA-cam recommended list.
Are there any disadvantages to Fuji X RAW studio, or limitations? I am fairly new to this. Thanks.
@@afisher555 the Fuji-X Raw converter is a great tool that not many people talk about. It's aimed at people who love the true Fujifilm JPG out of camera but don't want to shoot JPG as RAW gives you more data to play with. After you have installed the program, move your photos to the PC from your camera. In camera, change the USB mode to USB RAW convert. When you open the Fuji X-RAW Studio application it should say that it is connected to your camera. From there, in the program, navigate to the photos you took on your PC. You can increase/decrease exposure, play with contrast, white balance etc. When you click convert your Fuji camera does all the processing giving you a true Fuji JPG.
What it won't do is spot removals, gradients, dodge and burn and other advanced things that Capture One, darkTable etc can do. For me Fuji X-Raw studio is a fantastic starting point for getting the levels correct and colour grading (film simulations). I compared Acros with lightroom, capture one and Darktable, the cameras version was the best. I spent $1000+ on my camera, I'd expect it to have a fantastic dedicated image processor.
@@jakeduggan3854 Excellent thank you very much. I don't want to spend too much time processing images, sat in front of a computer-so this sounds like a good solution. I would rather spend time taking good photos. Thank you! Very helpful.
@@jakeduggan3854 Sorry for replying so late but isn't this the same as shooting with JPGs only then?
Why does it say 200mm Canon EF 70-200 F2.8 at the top left 4:43 if these are Fuji raws?
Used a Fringer adaptor. Canon lenses on Fuji. :)
Omar Gonzalez Photography Thank you for the reply! I love your work, hope you and your family are keeping safe from the Coronavirus!
Great advice on shooting with Fuji.
FYI, I think the image of the Fall trees/leaves is where your CANON white balance gets things wrong (as opposed to your Fuji). Or maybe you were adapting a Canon lens to your Fuji body?
Oh boy.
Peacock image too. The green leaves are all the same fluorescent green. That’s a Canon attribute. Fuji is much better at foliage colors, IMHO.
It’s funny because those two images are the ones where your edits changed them the most. That’s evidence of how good Fuji jpegs are.
Viral Little girl: looks at the ducks on the lawn : "Look at all those chickens"
hey can someone tell me what the difference is between F-Raw vs Raw?
You said -1 for shadows....but this only effects .jpg correct it does have any effect on the RAW
Tom Gibson he said -1 to explain why the jpeg has brighter shadows. So to compensate in the raw he brought down the black level a tad
@@Reggiebphoto Thanks....I use RAW format. As good as .jpgs are I want maximum ability to adjust my images, especially highlights/shadows
Love your photo at 6 min (minus the generator and legs at left of course) !
I'm not sure I see the purpose of comparing a SOOC JPEG to an edited RAW. Why not also edit the JPEG to make the point that for most photographs you don't really need the RAW when you can get the same look with a smaller JPEG?
The point of Fuji's JPEGs being so good is that you can share them straight away without any editing, but if you are going to edit them I think it should be acknowledged for most people and most photos you don't really need the flexibility of a RAW file, unless you are trying to recover really dark shadows or highlights.
Do you need ND filters for X-T20?
For Acros, I normally just use the jpeg and do a slight edit if needed or crop but man nothing looks as good as Acros straight out of a fuji camera...except the really Acros and I'm looking forward to trying the Acros II once it goes on sale in the US.
Bro! You are the Bob Ross of photography. I really appreciate the valuable info you share based on your own experience. The British accent, well done, hilarious. And your interview skills are tight. Continued success in 2020!👊🏽
I'm backward! I never shoot JPG...always raw! and yes, I use Lightroom! Maybe I should shoot JPG? NAW...I always wonder why folks would shoot JPG when these cameras were meant to take RAW!
Guess it's easier and quicker, especially for Instagram?
Me Too.. Raw and Lightroom.. I went out on New Years and for fun shot jpeg with film simulation tryin to see what all the fuss was about.. fortunately the XT2 has double card so I had the RAW files also
For 90% of the images jpg is good enough, the keepers, I go back and tweak the raw.
Friend's random snaps, jpg good enough. For a portrait shoot, I shoot both raw and jpg gives the benefits of both worlds...
That's why I shoot both, as it does save some time.
Very interesting. Please do it in Capture One as well !
Thank you.
Why my Lightroom does not have film simulation for vy Fuji RAW?
I'm on LR CC classic. Update your LR cc. If you have the creative cloud
@@ogonzilla Thank's
why not use Capture one , the interaction design and Fuji raw detail better than Lr
Yesterday you betray use by using other gear for professional usage. Now you break our heart for using fuji raw in lightroom. What will you do next?
So you use Astia soft for portraits too. I keep trying to switch to pro neg but just like the Astia better
I'm usually parked in provia but have started playing with astia more.
I like astia for most subject’s as well. I find I have to do the least with it.
Ok today I opened up my jpeg and raw versions of the same image from a sunrise. I matched the film simulation on my raw file and it looks identical to the jpeg without any adjustments.
I'm not a snob but i only shoot in RAW i love editing nikon or fuji in lightroom but edit them both in different ways ive found a way to get rid of worm effects in fuji in LR
Thank you for this... ive learned a lot :)
i shoot JPEG only from my gfx 50r (dont have time to edit 300picures every time ) raw is better even on Medium Format the reason is my JPG is 8 bits, raw has 14 bits color Depth edited and saved as TIFF i'm getting amazing results but 160mg files
I think most of the RAWs you showed looked better than the jpegs, honestly. I don't shoot Fuji, but the jpegs looked oversaturated and lacked micro contrast to my eye. Could just be UA-cam being UA-cam though and compressing the crap out of your shots also. 🤷♂️
I like working in the raw! ;)
I literally gasped at the same time as you when I heard shaved potatoes 😍
Velvia is the Comic Sans of film.
As a Signmaker - that is SO true !!!!
Maybe because of the quirks of x-trans sensor?
Excellent video...
Awesome vid bro
Really,.. the best program to work with Fuji raf files is Silkypix Studio Developer for Fuijifilm!

Very good tutorial Omar. And stop buying stuff in Home Depot (LOL you mentioned it in one of your videos), in Paterson you need to visit Mario Supply Co.
