How do you like the way Luminar 4 processes GFX 50 R files? Does it apply the Fuji built in lens corrections? I purchased it, but have not yet downloaded the program, as my PC is in the shop for upgrading?Two shots from a walk along Cayuga Lake at the south end of the lake.

Hi Dave,How do you like the way Luminar 4 processes GFX 50 R files? Does it apply the Fuji built in lens corrections? I purchased it, but have not yet downloaded the program, as my PC is in the shop for upgrading?
Thanks very much

Thanks Carl. My version of Photoshop, CS 6, does not recognize GFX R files, so I resorted to batch converting them to DNGs, then Bridge to select the ones I wanted to work on, then to Photoshop to finish and print. I am pleased to say the new DXO Photo Lab 2.0 does a wonderful job of processing GFX raw files. I still finish in Photoshop, but DXO gives me a head start by applying some of their presets during conversion. I do not know if DXO uses the cooked in lens corrections, or uses their own fabulous profiles. I have been using DXO Optics Pro for many years, but you do not have to use it if you use their Photo Lab 2. .Hi Dave,
I'm working on a Mac with a new OS (Catalina) and I haven't transitioned yet to using Luminar 4 as a standalone app for raw image processing. I have tried it and raw processing is possible but I didn't see any way to determine how or if it was using embedded profiles. Results look OK and not much different to what I get in Lightroom. The latter is still my main app for image processing and I have been using Luminar 4 as a plugin for Lightroom when I want to use special processing features not available in Lightroom. I will probably wean myself from Lightroom eventually, but for now I will wait awhile until Luminar 4 has had a chance to mature and lose the early bugs.
Best regards,
Carl
