DXO Fuji Xt5 and Starting Point

[chris02]

Tending to use DXO PL8 more now than Cap One, so wondering what you suggest as a starting preset before carrying out further adjustments.

Up until now, being using the XT5 and DXO Std, thoughts appreciated?

I think that's something that only you can decide, based on the way that you deal with your files and the results that you expect from them. It's not necessarily about what the default RAW presentation looks like on opening, but what you can do with it - and how instant you want things to be. The character of the results has a lot to do with how you map the tones between black & white.
