I thought so - you have the same sharpening artefacts that plague me also. Try turning down the detail slider to almost nothing and work from there - it seems to be that which causes the mottling on the images i find. The masking slider can also help a lot.
And a couple from town this morning. The jpegs straight from the camera were pretty good, so all i needed to do was crop them and add a little contrast to taste. I think my DSLR (canon 5D) would probably have coped better with the sun, but for what it is i continue to be impressed with the X10.

Yes that seems to be the general consensus on how to get the most out of the raws in LR4. Personally I've still not been able to match the jpegs but my only real comparison was on the architecture&bridge shot I posted above. Fine detail was particularly important in that. My X10 needs to go back for the sensor replacement but from the little time I've had with it, I too am impressed with it thus far.

I've not managed to match the jpegs for sharpness and detail either. Got reasonably close, but definitely not there. I have a feeling that only way to get RAW's as good as the in camera jpegs is to do time-consuming selective sharpening in photoshop with layers etc. I still prefer to use the RAWs for PP that involves more than a bit of curves work, but i'm not sure if i really gain much by putting the extra effort in.
I should also return mine for a sensor replacement, but i'm not sure how to do that here,
A touch of autumn, just to keep the pictures coming.
Hello all,
we had the Beatles tribute band "Rain" come through central Alberta and these are a couple of shots of them performing. They sounded really good and did a few changes of "look" during the show. Mainly shot at 1600 and 3200 ISO with a little bit of work in Lightroom to clean the files up.
This is the first time I have really used my X10 since it came back from "sensor replacement". Basically Fuji sent me a new camera.
Thanks for looking,
