Almost every week I receive a lot of messages via text or email on what’s the best raw converter for fuji files, which software has the best sharpening algorithm, how can I avoid the worm effect issue, and so on. A deep-dive look into my entire workflow on how we can sharpen and create better photographs. This is not a debate on which software is the best, Capture One vs Lightroom. Anyway, Capture One is for sure one of the best photo editing software on the market.
If you're using Fujifilm X-Trans sensor cameras like the X-T4, X-T3, X-T30, and so on, probably this video is for you.

Andrea, I want to thank you for the time you spend helping us learn about processing images. You are very generous as this is something a lot of photographers keep as a secret.
Hi Mark, you're very welcome! I'm so grateful for your kind words. Thanks so much for the comment and glad the tutorial was helpful :) Ciao
A clear, comprehensive, and well-organized tutorial. I learned more than I expected. I find your workflow to be very sensible and efficient. In particular, the examples for the high-noise image and creative sharpening opened my eyes. Many thanks.
Hi Kemer, awesome, glad it was useful! Thanks so much :) Ciao
Hi Andrea - yeah I've watched this over and over. I definitely would love to see more videos. This is very helpful
Thanks so much for your comment, Elisha! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video :)
Super informative video as always! Your knowledge about Capture One is impressive. This helped me understand in more detail the sharpening and noise settings. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Dan, you’re very welcome. Thanks so much for the comment and glad you enjoyed the video :) Ciao
Mille grazie Andrea! A very useful tutorial from which I learned a lot.
You're very welcome! Thanks so much for the comment, and glad you enjoyed the video :) Ciao
Thank you! Incredibly helpful and the explanations were very clear!
Thanks so much, Gary! Glad you enjoyed this looong video 😄 ciao
Hi Andrea... Another super helpful video on Cap1 great tips and tricks I didn't know about! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us newbies! :)
Hi, thanks so much. Glad you found the video useful :) Ciao
Andrea, thanks so much for covering this wide range of ways to sharpening our images. Especially the color editor way and the creation of the masked layer comes pretty handy!!! :-)
Thanks so much for the comment and glad you found the video useful. Much appreciated! :)
Really nice video Andrea!!!
Hey Nuno, thanks so much for your comment! Really glad you enjoyed it. Have a good one :)
Thank you for your detailed explanation of sharpening and demonising in C1! I learned a lot from it!
Hi Gerd, thank you very much for the comment and glad you found the (quite long) tutorial useful :) Ciao
A fantastic, informative video - thank you! 👍
Hi Robbie, thanks so much for your comment. Glad you enjoyed the video :) Ciao
great tutorial! also.. the dynamic range of your camera is just wow :o
Thanks so much for the comment, and glad you enjoyed the video :) Ciao
Great info. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much :)
Thanks a lot! Have a good day!
Thanks for the comment, and glad you enjoyed the video!
Wow great tutorial here thanks alot
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed the video!
Thank you Andrea 😉 very helpful... often sharpen amount is max 180, treshold 0.5. Radius 0.8-1.3 for my XT-20 files
Thanks Adam, really glad you enjoyed the video :)
Greetings from Russia. Thanks a lot for your videos! They helped me a lot in mastering the program "Capture One 23". Very good explanation, everything is clear and understandable. Some difficult points will still have to be reviewed more than once, since it is impossible to cover the entire amount of data at once. Good luck to you!
Thanks so much for the comment Glad you enjoyed the video and found it useful! Ciao :)
Silkypix Developer Studio Pro 10 is the best software to edit Fujifilm.
Because, they are the company that created the Fujifilm X Converter. Also the company behind Nikon, Panasonic, Pantex raw converter.
Highly recommended.
Hi, thanks for sharing your thoughts. Ciao :)
Hey, is there a video about sharpening raw from fujifilm in LR somewhere?
Very nice video! You can use the proofing button I believe if you want to preview your output before processing your recipe ;) hope that helps
Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the comment :) Ciao
I would love to know more about how you set up Capture One, coming from Lightroom myself i find it to be a very powerful program and would like to migrate. And have it used more as a regular work flow option. Also whilst shooting with clients, live view etc. Thank you for a very insightful video.
Michael, thanks so much for your comment. I really appreciated it. I have quite a few new videos in the roadmap and a couple of them are about Capture One :) Have a good one!
Thanks so much Andrea. Sadly, most of the RUclips tutorial videos go through editing without explaining the functions of the sliders.
You, along with a couple of other teachers (Glover, Rieffer) not only show us how to edit but how and why to use certain tools. I'm not a professional photographer, just a 78-year guy who has loved photography for 50+ years. Having used C1 for a year, your tutorials continue to help me develop my post-processing skills. Once again, thank you for sharing your knowledge.
You're very welcome, Barry! Thank you very much for the lovely comment, I really appreciate it. Especially if it's done by a fellow musician :) Ciao
@@AndreaLivieriPhoto Now how the heck did you know I am a musician. Watching your videos I noticed the guitar and I wondered if you're a hobbyist or a serious player. It does seem as if we creative souls are always seeking, I don't know, new ways to create and explore. You, along with the other two mentioned, help keep my brain sharp, my desire to explore as sharp as ever, and if I'm lucky, end up with some damn good edits.
Your profile picture revealed the secret :) I taught professionally electric guitar for many years at the music academy in Padua and another music school in Venice. Anyway, photography is definitely another incredible way to keep our creativity sharp. I'm pretty sure you'll get some good edits, dig in! :) Ciao
I normally round trip images to Topaz DeNoise AI, and sometimes Sharpen AI, which do some pretty kick ass jobs on most images!
Hi, I’ve never used the Topaz DeNoise but it seems to be a great software for denoising. Ciao
Thanks for this! Super super helpful. Does the proofs tool not allow us to see the sharpening effect in c1? I thought the proofs view was for exactly this purpose-does it not show sharpening in particular?
Hi Quinn, thanks so much for the comment and glad you found the tutorial useful. You can't preview the sharpening level in the proofing for print stage, just the paper profile simulation (colors & contrast). Ciao :)
The only problem that is problematic in Fuji free version is basic color editor only. This kind of videos are really nice!
Yep, the free version lacks of one of the main top feature of Capture One :) Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks so much for your comment! Ciao
Isn't the proofing tool used for assessing the output sharpening?
Hi Andrea! Glad I found your video! Will give it a try tomorrow, following your ideas. I have tried editing my fuji files in Lightroom with enhanced details and using irident but not 100% satisfied with the results. If i am looking to print some of my photos at 30 by 20 inches would there be big modifications to the flow you presented? Many thanks!
Hi Stefan, thanks for your comment and I'm glad you found the video useful. About your question, the OUTPUT sharpening for print is slightly different than the one for the web, and it really depends not only on the print size but also depends on the type of paper used. For instance, to print on matte paper you'll need to apply a stronger sharpening than you would when printing on glossy paper. In some respects, and don't get me wrong, it's more a trial and error practice on choosing the right degree of sharpening. For sure, when you apply appropriate sharpening for print, the image on the screen will look a little bit oversharpened. Cheers
@@AndreaLivieriPhoto thank you so much Andrea for the response! I will keep an eye on your channel for new materials regarding Fuji and Capture One! Many thanks!
You’re welcome, Stefan! Ciao
Hi Andrea thanks a lot for your video. I am wondering if I can sharp a subject behind other that is not in focus as I SHOOT f5.6 insteaf of f11 in a 300 mm lens ? Looking forward your comments.
Hi Merlin, thanks so much for the comment and glad you enjoyed the video. As for your question, trying to sharpen an out-of-focus subject may not yield the desired results.
When you shoot at a wider aperture like f/5.6, the depth of field becomes shallower, meaning only a narrow plane of your scene will be in sharp focus. This is particularly noticeable when using longer focal lengths like a 300mm lens. While your subject may be relatively sharp, the background will naturally appear more blurred or bokeh-like.
Attempting to enhance the sharpness of an out-of-focus subject can create weird effects. The image captured at f/5.6 will inherently lack the necessary information to produce a sharp representation of an object that was not in the focus plane.
While sharpening can help to some extent, it cannot truly recreate the detail that would have been captured if the subject was in focus from the start. Sharpening algorithms rely on existing details within the image to enhance them, but they cannot invent new information that was not present in the original capture. I hope this helps :) Ciao
Is it possible to show how you would process wildlife images like birds and butterflies which have various backgrounds apart from only the main subject.
Thanks
I don't shoot wildlife, but it's possible that I'll include some examples in the future.
Thanks for taking the trouble of replying, much appreciated@@AndreaLivieriPhoto
Thanks for this interesting video!
Actualy ( in 2023 ) is it truth that DXO pure raw 3 is the best way to demoaicing fuji raw files ?
Ave you test it?
Hi Patrick, thanks for the comment. I'm glad you liked the video. As for your question, I still consider Capture One the best program for Fujifilm files. DxO Pure Raw 3 is a great software, but for my liking, Capture One still performs the best. Ciao
Did we ever see an update so that Capture One has the same masking interface that Lightroom has? Just want to see exactly what I'm sharpening in Capture One
Hi, thanks for stopping by. Unfortunately, Capture One does not offer that feature at the moment. I agree with you, it would be great to have it. Ciao
Genial.
Thank you very much, Jose! 😃
Hi! What camera are these files from? When I zoom to 300% I see pixels and can not really focus on sharpness with 26MP files from my XT-3! What amount of sharpening would you suggest for that?
Hi, I use three cameras, the X-T4, X-T3 and X-T30. Each one has the same sensor. When I zoom to 300% is just for demonstration purposes here on RUclips, you actually don't need to do the same. You just need to zoom to 100% and adjust the sharpening parameters accordingly. I can't give you a specific number for the sharpening amount, it really depends on the image you're working on. Ciao
@@AndreaLivieriPhoto Thanks Andrea! Excellent advice and good video
@@FloKorp86 You're very welcome! Ciao
Very good jod
Thanks 🤘🏻😃
Can you please tell me how to move the tool section to the right side of the screen?
Go to the top bar menu --> View --> Customize Tools --> Place Right
@@AndreaLivieriPhoto thanks a lot 👍
ciao, hai fatto anche un video sulla chiarezza? ho sempre trovato misterioso questo pannello.
Ciao Alexander, non ho pubblicato finora video specifici sulla chiarezza. E' sicuramente una funzione "delicata" per certi aspetti ed alla quale non ho ancora dedicato un video specifico. Tuttavia, in uno dei prossimi video sull'editing, darò lo spazio necessario anche a questo particolare controllo. A presto, ciao
@@AndreaLivieriPhoto grazie mille, su CR la uso veramente poco perchè l'effetto non mi piace ma ho notato che l'effetto su Capture è completamente diverso e più naturale. Comunque ottimo spieghi in modo semplice ed efficace una delle cose se non la cosa più importante per gestire i file fuji.
@@TheJeremydinazareth Ti ringrazio Alexander per il bel commento! Ciao ;)
Also, h ow do you get the descriptions for your sliders? I can't find anything
I’m afraid I don’t get your point. Can you please clarify?
@@AndreaLivieriPhoto When you were hovering over your sliders, or adjustment bars, on the right, a description appeared that was hovering over them. I was just wondering if you did something extra to make that happen!
@@Rowland446 Ah, I guess you're referring to the tooltips. You have to go to the top bar menu -> Capture One -> Preferences -> select General tab -> and tick the "Show enhanced tooltips" option. I hope this helps.
when we see you play guitar? I wanna see you shred, men!)
just tired to watch on that wall and waiting,,,
Ahahaha! At some point you'll see me shredding 😄 Thanks for the funny comment!
sharpening doesn't 'bring in more noise', stop spreading nonsense.
A wrong sharpening tends to emphasize the noise that’s already there. You might find it nonsense, and that fine ;) Ciao
