All of my raw files with all of my cameras tend to be about the same as the sensor size. I don't expect exact, but yours are double. |

Anyway, looking at them in LR, I'm really impressed with the IQ at 1:1, and even at 2:1. This is what I did - just used the adjustment brush to bring the exposure up around the eye area about 1 stop. Kind of a silly exercise... https://www.flickr.com/gp/48982192@N05/b78411 |

Kind of a silly exercise... https://www.flickr.com/gp/48982192@N05/b78411 These days I shoot RAW+JPEG and the SOOC Fuji X JPEGs are so impressive they are usable without any Post processing. The RAF files don't need too much either, but when they do there is quite a bit of leeway. Since you were using LR you probably noticed that the Fuji X-lenses have lens profiles applied in-camera. -- Regards, Savageduck |

The Florida Scrub Jay is a threatened species. The Florida Scrub-Jay is actually listed as threatened, but Jays tend to behave as if they don't have a care in the World. http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/full/22705629/0 Developers are clearing out the areas that are the bird's natural habitat. There are a few parks where there is scrub, and they are a favorite place for photographers. It's bird that anyone can get close to. The Florida Scrub Jay will even land on your finger for a selfie. -- Regards, Savageduck |

As a result, the birds have become so acclimated to people that during the really cold weather some species, mainly the chickadees, will literally eat out of your hand. But the woodpeckers, cardinals, jays and turkeys will pose nicely, if you feed them. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/97242118/Thanksgiving%20escapee.jpg -- PeterN |
