Adobe has introduced a new feature in Camera Raw 13.2. They call it Super Resolution. I’ll call it SR here. SR is a demosaicing technique that produces an output image with twice the number of pixels as the raw file in both dimensions. That means the file as four times the number of pixels of… [Read More]
GFX Natural Live View and raw file histograms
I received a request investigate whether the histogram in the GFX cameras when the display mode is set to “Natural Live View” faithfully represented the raw histogram. Spoiler alert. It does not, at least in all circumstances. I’d never paid any attention to that mode before. I looked it up in the GFX 100S searchable… [Read More]

But in spite of — probably because of — its optical deficiencies, it does a superb job of rendering some things. In… [Read More]

Yesterday, I received a Fujifilm GFX 50R back from LifePixel, who had modified it with a 720 nm infrared conversion. The modification consists of the removal of the IR-blocking filter — aka hot mirror — and its replacement by a filter that blocks visible light and passes infrared light with wavelengths shorter than about 720… [Read More]
Fuji 30/3.5, 32-64/4 on GFX 50x, foliage
This is a continuation of a series of tests on the new Fujifilm 30mm f/3.5 G-mount lens. Today I’m comparing it with the Fuji 32-64 mm f/4 zoom. I did this earlier with a Siemens Star target, which is unforgiving; it was designed to be so. What if we just aim the camera at some… [Read More]
