Backyard Springtime Nature in New Jersey.

Spring Purple Crocus Flower. Image taken with a Fuji X-T1 camera and Fuji 60 mm f/2.4 macro lens (ISO 200, 60 mm, f/8, 1/45 sec). Raw image processed with Capture One Pro 7.

I was pleased to see that the most recent updated to Capture One Pro is able to process Fuji X-T1 raw files! I still can’t work with these images with Lightroom, and only in Photoshop when using a beta (release candidate) of Camera Raw.
