Re: A vote for Hyper Utility

Beyond color fidelity, when considering any RAW processor for the S5 Pro the first question is does the converter know how to interpret and manage both the S and R pixels from the SuperCCD? Many don't. Secondly, does the RAW converter support Fuji's interpolation to 12MP in combination with balanced sharpening? Many only yield 6MP.

Most long time users of the S5 Pro have settled on either a Lightroom or Hyper Utility workflow for good reason... both converters tap the S and R pixels and interpolate a smooth 12MP. Hyper Utility is a bit slower but produces better image quality. Here's my own Hyper Utility conversion for comparison purposes:

Apologise if I revive this old thread but at the actual date which is the RAW processor which does the better Fuji S-CCD conversion taking into account both R and S pixels and rendering the full size image (even tho it's an interpolation) rather than the "just" 6MP one (which I have been printing up to A3 with no visible artifacts at all)?

Grazie
