So let me show you how to find and apply them and also give you a guide as to what they replicate. I say this because it’s not immediately obvious. The good news is that if you own a copy of Lightroom 5, 6 or CC, these film simulations can be applied in post production to a RAW file! That is if you know where to look and find them. This is because the very nature of RAW files, is that they are in essence, the equivalent of a digital negative. One of the disadvantages however of shooting RAW files (apart from the larger file size) is that the superb film simulations that Fuji provide, including the fabulous ‘classic chrome’ are lost, in that they are not applied to RAW files. Something that the white balance presets often struggle with. This is particularly valuable to me as I mainly photograph indoor events, often in mixed lighting situations. Also its far easier too get white balance correct from a RAW file in post production. In my experience correction of up to around 3 stops underexposed, much greater than a jpeg. Also there is much greater latitude for correcting mistakes, for example exposure in post production. The reasons are that unlike a jpeg it is an uncompressed file, so no loss of image quality.

However as a full time professional photographer, with my clients demanding the best quality images, I still prefer to shoot in RAW. In fact, probably the best on offer, from any camera manufacturer. Now as proud Fuji owners, we all know I am sure, how good the out of the camera jpegs are. Film Simulation Comparison ©garyperlmutter
