Fuji X Raw (ARW) Artifacting: ACR vs Capture One Pro 7.0.2
See the coverage of Fuji X artifacts with the X-Pro1 and X-E1 and Phase One Releases Capture One Pro 7.0.2 With Fuji X Support.
Published in Guide to Mirrorless is an Fuji X-Pro1 comparison between Adobe Camera Raw and Capture One Pro.
My conclusions remain the same as before, but to capture it briefly: the Fuji X-Trans sensor in the X-Pro1 and X-E1 has some superlative overall qualities (color, dynamic range), but the way the sensor renders detail is quite different from other sensors, and I do not find it appealing on that basis. That said, I have no doubt that appealing prints can be made from Fuji X files, where the enhanced-edge effects (“artifacting”) might actually benefit the print, at least in some cases.
