As of this AM, the Detroit area received an additional 3.4 of snow overnight to bring the seasonal total to 94.8, breaking the old record of 93.6 set in 1881. Having gotten so close to the record it seemed only natural to root for a new record! Kenneth Waller

Nope, I think you’re out of luck, you need Lr 5.4 or whatever version of ACR corresponds to that to read the X-T1 RAW files. Alternately, all the Fuji X-cam reviews say they make JPEGs that are really excellent, to the extent that RAW might be superfluous. So maybe no big deal. On Tue, Apr 15,

2014-04-15 Thread Tim Bray
Well, they do look pleasing to the eye. In particular, the X-cams’ auto-white-balance is frighteningly good, I basically never go near that control in Lr, and WB correction is one place where you can fix things in RAW that you just can’t in JPEG. But yeah, I don’t find the idea tempting either.

So you always accept the WB that the camera hands you? A so-called accurate WB is not necessarily what a given scene calls for in the final rendered shot. You would not be tempted ever to add warmth or coolness for artistic reasons? I do, all the time. I would never accept that I can only use

To the extent I have a photo ideology, it’s “make the picture look like what I saw” and the Fuji does an amazingly good job of that out of the box, whereas with my Pentaxes up through the K-5, I often have had to tweak the WB to achieve it. Pretty well the only time I touch it with the Fuji is
