Fujifilm X-Pro2

This should be a useful study for any Fujifilm X-Pro2 shooter converting raw images in ACR (Photoshop or Lightroom).

In my review of the Fujifilm X-Pro2:

Fujifilm X-Pro2: Range of Sharpening with a Variety of Subject Matter

Includes a variety of large crops (different images) at eight different sharpening settings.

There seems to be a “goldilocks” amount of sharpening for X-Pro2 files when using ACR raw conversion. The various subjects provide a useful reference in understanding how much sharpening is appropriate.
