Probably been sold

Dave that is so unkindProbably been sold
The truth does hurt sometimes.Dave that is so unkind
But its not the truthThe truth does hurt sometimes.
Both raw and jpeg.
Re LR lens corrections for rawfiles yes otherwise they are already applied in camera as far as i can remember
so am I nowI am on LR 6.14. What I have found odd is that if I use the WCL on my X100, LR says it has applied the 'built-in profile'. On RAWs taken without the WCL, it doesn't say this. I find that a little surprising - if LR knows I have a WCL attached and can correct it, how come it can't without it attached?
If I then tick the box 'Enable Profile Corrections' it alters the image somewhat but I notice that a drop-down is available for 'Model' where you can actually select the version of X100 you have. Choosing any of X100F/S/T seem to give the same result but these give a different result to the Finepix X100 option. Given that it's the same lens in each model, I am confused.
I am probably over-thinking it anyway ...

What's more ... if I select 'Enable Profile Corrections' and then slide the Distortion Correction to the left to zero but keep the Vignetting correction at 100, the picture looks almost identical to the JPEG. And I rather like that look.
It makes me wonder then if the JPEG has any build-in distortion correction but surely it must have and that then makes me wonder about the accuracy of the LR profile.
Anyway, I went out with my XP1 + 35mm f1.4 today and it was great - nice change from my XP2. However, looking through my recent catalog of images, I seem to keep coming back to those X100 (Original) files and preferring them to pretty much anything else ... I can't explain it really except that they really do have a lovely tonal range and that extra look of 'reality'.

Just my way which is maybe not the best but upload to flikrmy finished pic then just copy and paste to here from flikr after choosing the size i wantCan anyone give any hints on embedding images hosted from Flickr etc? I know how to embed the link to the image but in the past I have never been totally happy with the sharpness of the embedded images.
What do people do - upload their full size image to Flickr, then just select the link for the size you want it to appear here? Or upload a file to Flickr that is already downsized and sharpened etc?

reminds me of a bygone era,tell me is that taken with the x100Ok, how's this look?

Perhaps you should re-visit a bit later in the Autumn - the colours would look fabulous with that path wending its way into the distance. Right now it looks a bit flat - just my opinion (which isn't worth a lot )
You could just use screw-in filters for the pola and stopper, and use a grad in LR or similar. In fact, I’m thinking of selling my Se7en5 system as I just don’t use it.Anyone using filter systems with their X100? Looked at Lee Seven5 (eye watering price wise), Formatt Hitech and Nisi.
Wondering what else is out there and size wise similar to the Lee Seven5. Thinking I want a CPL, stopper and a grad ND of some sort.

Remember there is a built in ND filter, so if you buy a 6 stopper, you will get 3, 6 and 9 options
I'd recommend what @Stephen L suggested, screw in. If you really need a grad then either Hitech 67mm or Lee Seven5
Took this at the North Yorkshire Moors Railway sheds at Grosmont. X100F, WCL, ISO6400, single-shot HDR in Aurora.

Quite a lot of noise in that one Stephen - is that usual for ISO 6400?
No, it's mainly as a result of making a single HDR shot.Quite a lot of noise in that one Stephen - is that usual for ISO 6400?

@Mr Perceptive, yes given the chance again I would do a hand-held bracketed shot, but it was just a quick grab-and-run from a place I wasn't really supposed to be! Never tried Nik Define - I shall look into it! I do usually HDR (when I DO HDR) in LR.
Incidentally, it prints up quite cleanly. As you'd expect.
Magnets have polarity. The camera decides whether it’s the WCL or TCL according to the polarity. No idea why it continues to detect the presence of a converter without the magnet.Thanks Colin. Not sure I understand any of that. The WCL works without the magnet. I don't need to set the menu.
What's this about reversing magnets? How can I tell which is which? They are so small that surely they cannot be that precise.
