I'm getting a film vibe from some of your images. Nice processing.
Thanks! Most of those are with my Gold 200 recipe
Even if it doesn't quite nail the Gold look, I think it does look quite filmic, which is exactly how I use my X100...a digital version of a film P&S, one shot at a time.

Flickr and my webhost don't even support uploading it, so I can't be bothered to find a place that does. Does FM even support embedding them?
In LR, the HEIF files have better colors and contrast but not by much.
It is surprising to see such poor support for HEIF across the board. This format has been around for a while now and given this is the default format for iPhone, I thought it would be more widely adopted and more popular.
Adobe's documentation says they only support HEIF format from iOS and Android devices and I also found an year old thread on DPreview talking about LR inability to open Fuji HEIF files, so if you are able to at least open the images in LR, I think it is a good sign.
If recipes (film simulations) are baked in HEIF, I will just use HEIF as the new "raw" for this camera. Flickr and Insta will automatically convert it to JPEG and although it is not the ideal workflow it will still be less work and faster than starting from a true raw file.

Yes, sims are baked into the HEIF, though I'm not sure I understand the value of using the HEIF as the "RAW" file, letting an app convert the HEIF into a jpeg vs just supplying it with the already fuji-fied jpeg...unless your thinking is you'd rather have the HIEF files around if/when they catch on and are fully supported in browsers.
As of this moment, there seems to be no real world reason to use HEIF. The files are 33% smaller than JPEG just so you know.

Yes. It is better in quality and compression than JPEG, so it is only a matter of time. iPhone and Android using HEIF as default is a pretty good indicator that it will replace JPEG eventually.
But again, the idea of buying this camera is to simplify things, so I might just stick with JPEGs.
