    You may get some answers to that question here, but remember that this is a user-to-user forum, although some Phase One staff do contribute to it sometimes. It would be a good idea to make a feature request to Phase One asking for this functionality. You can do that here.

    These questions have come up before.

    As I understand it the challenge is that the existing code for the functions is based on sensors with a Bayer array of light capture sensors and the Fuji sensors do not have a Bayer array so the code will not work and is not easily adaptable.

    That in turn means that quite a lot of research and development needs to be undertaken.

    In other words there are some technical challenges and potentially some high costs (both money and resources) to try to create a solution.

    Assuming the technical challenges can be overcome it would certainly make sense to add to the "interested" count by creating a Support Case for your request. The more people who are seen to be interested the better the case for undertaking the development - provided Fuji look like they will support the sensor technology in its current form for a few years.


    HTH.

    Just want to register my interest in this topic, as an LR to CO convert with an XT-1.
    Absolutely love this far superior RAW processing software, and will be purchasing it once my trial is up.
    I am gutted that auto mask don't work though. It's a wonderful feature to save a lot of time on those intricate local adjustments that come up (...regularly enough to warrant the investment by PO into finding a solution, IMO).
    Hope that the Phase One wonderbods do eventually get it working. You would make a lot of Fuji customers very happy, I think!

    Thanks in advance 😊

    I understand the user's desire to have all the features. Fact is that with Phase One's crowded list of priorities it can be hard to justify a certain effort. Logging your desire as a feature request is the best course of action for a user.

    Another angle to look at it is that the auto mask feature might look as a great omission if you do not have it, I hardly ever use it, if not at all. Reason is twofold. First, the edges of the auto mask are not smooth and I am sure Phase One is aware of that. Second, more importantly, I like it most for highlight recovery. Since CO8 however, with the HDR tool on a layer, precise masking is not mandatory anymore. It removed my priority for a better auto mask to the bottom of my priorities.

    Good luck experimenting CO8. It is a great tool and maybe some of my blogs (links in signature) will give you a head start.

    Thanks Paul.
    I kind of see your 2 points...but I still want it! 😊
    I'm sure over the course of time I'll learn to live without it. Well, I have no choice really, but you know, I'll perhaps stop craving it over time.
    And maybe by then the CO genii will have implemented the fix! 😊

    I'll assume by 'logging a request', you mean logging a case with the PO support team, in which case, I think I already did at the beginning of my trial. Maybe if I add another one it will bump up the request numbers 😉

    I'll be sure to check out your blog. All help/tips welcome.

    Thanks much.
    Steve.
