Capture One LE and Fuji S5 raw files

Hello,

I'm new to raw processing and also new to Capture One.
I'm using the Fuji S3 and S5 and lately a shoot in raw.

sometimes when I load a raw file in Capture LE the image that is shown has much more color cast than the image loaded in the Fuji raw software which looks very like what I saw on the camera display. I would say that this happens more often when I use automatic white balance.

So if I want to use LE for raw processing I have to do some extra work to get the image that the fuji software gives me just by opening it.

So does the LE really read all the white balance information from raw?
does anybody has similar behavior?

I would like to post examples but somehow I couldn't do it. the forums faq page doesn't work neither.

thanks in advance.

regards,
Willy

  C1 3.7.7 only recognizes a few of the Fuji S5 Color Balance settings. I use "Fine" on the camera ("Daylight" in C1) for good, predictable results.
  
  If you use any color balance setting that C1 does not recognize, it does an auto-white-balance, which rarely looks good.
  
  Unfortunately we cannot test S5's in the 4.0 beta, since it does not yet support them.

  Willy & Paul,
  
  Yes, Fuji software understands / interprets these Custom WB data from the camera much more accurately than Capture One.
  Use an in-camera preset rather than a Custom WB or Auto and you will see great improvement and likely more consistent color.
  Follow the methodology in the Knowledge Base / Tips&Tricks article #2233 for Good White Balance and then compare the results.

  hello Keith,
  
  is there any chance that next release will improve white balance interpretation for Fuji cameras?

  Not only does C1 not recognize Fuji S5 Custom WB, it also does not recognize standard WB settings like "Flash".
  
  Thanks,
