I used the EX converter a few times and found it not very profesional. I bought the Photoshop plug in and love the way it's set up. I then found out about the Fuji/Adobe not working together thing and found the colors in the plug in way off from the EX from Fuji.
FUJI ! you can only win by doing everything possible to make this plugin work for S2 and S1 owners. Far more pros use Adobe than own a S2 or S1 combined. I find the Ex converter setup like a kid did it. Tell me if Im wrong on a few things and I could be but lets fix a few things if this is going to be S1 and S2 owners program we have to use.
First of all FUJI go buy the Adobe plug in to see what a good desingned program looks like. Heres a few things that are the worst about the EX program.
1) there is no file open in the program, you have to start each RAW from explorer? whats up with this?
2) when you select a file for the converted file to go to, it changes back each time you open a new picture, what a pain in the rear.
3) if you have a picture off color and change it, that setting stays the next picture you open? it should go back to showing the picture as shot!!
4) The Adobe plug in shows, f stop, shutter speed, ISO and lens setting right on top the program window, where is that at on the EX converter??
5) The setting are scatered about with no pattern at all, and check this check that for everything. Look at Adobes setings and they are all in a row and well laid out and easy to find and adjust.
I pity anyone that had to buy this program. It's a shame we customers were kept from a good RAW program like the photoshop plug in. I hope Fuji helps Adobe make this work when released in version 8, and I hope Fuji takes lessons from Adobe on making a user friendly, profesional program.
Hope I didnt affend my fellow S2 and S1 friends but to have a good camera and then not have a good software program for RAW files is nonsence. Hope this all gets resolved soon.
Thank you
