When processing Fuji RAW files with Pure RAW, I get very dark DNGs that are underexposed by at least one stop.
This happens with lossless compressed RAW files and uncompressed RAW files.
All the adjustable processing parameters are correct.
I noticed that with the first batch of 96 photos I ran through my ASUS G14 laptop with 5.4.0.
Yesterday I ran them again through my new tower (Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF, 64GB RAM, Radeon RX 9060 XT w/16GB). PureRaw stopped processing at about #92. I couldn’t clear the light-table, nor shut down PureRaw without restarting the computer. After an uninstall of 5.4, a reinstall and uninstall of 5.3, and finally a reinstall of 5.4 things seem to be working out – as far as completing the batch.
When I get new cameras and/or lenses I have a street where I go for some night work. One of the locations is the entrance to a movie theater which will have consistent lighting year-round as long as it’s night-time. Trials I ran with a GFX50S II and a Leica D-Lux8 were consistent, but the X-E-5 were much darker and I needed to do a lot more fiddling in PhotoLab 8 to get close to those other camera trials results. (I will note the noise reduction in PureRaw was much better than I could get with the NR in Photolab.)
Generally, for night/twilight/high ISO shooting, the better results in PureRaw are usually obvious – even while still in the PureRaw lightbox. Not this time.
Hi, did you find a fix? Or find that it is simply fixable in post without much hassle?
Same here. It’s very very annoying
Hello Damian.
I think the solution to this problem is up to DXO or, at worst, Adobe; something isn’t being interpreted correctly when opening the processed DNG with Adobe software.
A temporary solution is to increase the exposure in Lightroom (or CameraRAW) by 0.9-1 EV.
I’m having disappointing results with my Fuji x100vi files while testing v5, I currently use v4. Support initially responding stating “your Fujifilm X100VI is fully supported from PureRAW 3.13 all the way up to the latest PureRAW versions”. However further questions resulted in a further clarification stating “DeepPRIME XD3 X-Trans engine is still in its early Beta stage and does not yet support Fujifilm’s 5th-generation X-Trans RAW files. I believe your X-E5 uses this sensor and this could be the cause of the issue?
Hello Pazz
This is possible, but in version 5.5 of the software the “DeepPrime XD3 X-Trans” method is not longer marked as a beta version. If it were, it would not be correct.
I’m running a trial version of v5, and the XD3 process button is clearly saying my X-Trans 5 sensor is not supported. Support are investigating.
