Fuji RAF (raw) files

How do I use Fuji RAF (raw) files? What file do I need to download for my Photoshop CS5?

This is for the benefit of others who might find this thread.
There is a list of the latest Camera Raw versions that can be used with a particular major release of Photoshop or Photoshop Elements here, in the Camera Raw FAQ:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/311515?tstart=0
The Camera Raw versions listed in the FAQ (e.g., Camera Raw 6.2 for Elements 8) are the latest that can be installed in a particular editor version.
If that Camera Raw version is lower than the one listed at the link Trevor supplied above, then you'll need to either use the free DNG converter to convert your files to the DNG format before opening them in your image editor, or upgrade your image editor.

Viewing .RAF RAW files in Bridge CS5 on a Mac OS 10.6.8

I have just purchased a Fuji X30 Camera and cannot view the .RAF RAW files in Bridge CS5... I have a Mac OS 10.6.8
What do I need to do? Thanks, Webb

ABSOLUTELY NOT !.
Blame the photographer nor the camera or the software.—unless it's a cr@ppy camera or lens.
The DNG Converter does not touch your raw pixels at all. It just takes them from the RAF wrapper and puts them in a new DNG wrapper.

Major BUG in DNG conversion of Fuji x100s raw files.

I use an imac with latest os10.8.4 and I converted RAF =raw files from fuji x100s to dng format with DNG Converter 8.1.0.43.
I have never seen such a horrifically bad problem in 15+ years. PS user of very long time.
I attached 2 image files to the problem given by another member who was trying to use xrite.
I am posting here as it is a problem of interest to anyone who is using the x100s or considering it.

The compatibility options are really to indicate which version of ACR you intend to use to read the raw file. Then the DNG Converter can decide whether it needs to do any additional processing to the file so that the (older) version of ACR can read it properly.
In the case of the Fuji X-Trans sensor with its 6x6 mosaic pattern (which requires a specialized interpolation routine for high quality results), the key distinction is whether DNG Converter performs the interpolation routine, or the older version of ACR performs the interpolation routine. If you choose "Camera Raw 7.1 and later" compatibility, then you're indicating that you plan to process the image using Camera Raw version 7.1 or later (e.g., ACR 7.4, ACR 8.1, etc.). These newer versions of ACR contain specialized interpolation routines for the X-Trans sensor, so the DNG file that is produced with "Camera Raw 7.1 and later" compatibility will be stored in the original mosaic form. When you read these files in ACR 7.1 and later, the specialized X-Trans interpolation routines will be used to process the files.
If you choose "Camera Raw 6.6 and later" compatibility, then you're indicating that you plan to process the image using CR 6.6 and later (e.g., ACR 6.7, ACR 7.0, ACR 7.1, etc.). Some of these older versions of ACR (such as ACR 6.7) do not have specialized interpolation routines for the X-Trans sensor. The DNG Converter understands this, and therefore performs the X-trans specific interpolation itself to produce linear RGB data, which is then stored into the DNG. So, the DNG file produced in this case does not contain the original mosaic data, but instead contains interpolated linear RGB data. The older ACR versions (like 6.7) can open this linear RGB data in the DNG directly, without having to perform any specialized X-Trans demosaicing (remember, this is important, because ACR 6.7 doesn't contain that specialized logic). This is also why the DNG files in this case are significantly larger in size compared to the images in the first case: they contain linear RGB data (3 color channels) instead of mosaic data (1 channel).

DNG files created from Fujifilm FinePix E-900 .RAF raw files

I'm having a problem in creating DNG files from my Fujifilm FinePix E-900 camera .RAF raw files on my Mac (Mac OS X 10.6.4). The DNG files are recognized correctly in Adobe software (Photoshop CS4, Bridge, Lightroom 3) but not by any Apple software (including Aperture 3.0).
I've used Adobe DNG Converter 6.1, Photoshop CS4, and Lightroom 3 to create these non-linear DNG files. As a point of reference, I've used the same settings to create DNG files from Kodak .KDC raws files that Apple also doesn't support, but these DNG files (created from the .KDC raw files) show up just fine in Aperture 3.0.
The one thing I find unusual about the .DNG files created from the Fujifilm FineFix E-900 .RAF raw files is that when I do a 'Get Info' on these files, the image dimensions of these .DNG files always shows up as 0 x 0. (The image dimensions should be listed as 3488 x 2616.)
So I'm wondering if there is something wrong (a bug maybe) on how these files are being converted to the DNG file format using Adobe DNG Converter 6.1, Photoshop CS4 or Lightroom 3 on a Mac.

Hi Frank, you need camera Raw 7.4 which is only available for PSE11. Consider upgrading or wait for PSE12 to be launched soon. If you regularly shoot raw try Lightroom with PSE10 as your external editor.
Alternatively, download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in PSE10 (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.1
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.1
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

Proper support for Fuji EXR Raw Files

There is still no proper support for Fuji EXR Raw files. On any Fuji X-series camera, the in-camera raw processing, including specifying options always outputs a far superior image that Adobe Camera Raw 6. I've been using an X100 for some time now, and have really gathered some great images with it. But Adobe Camera Raw fails miserably to understand how to process these files.
This is more of a complaint and feature request than a question, because I already know the answer. Adobe has not worked close enough, or at all, with Fuji to develop a Raw processor for the EXR pixel layout.
The EXR pixel arrangement offers new possibilities, especially the ability to take an HDR image of a moving subject, and without a tripod. The elimination of the low-pass filter allows for more sharpness, and finally the noise pattern is much more "film-like".
I've been using Adobe Photoshop for processing images for years, but have no compelling reason to upgrade without a proper conversion for Fuji RAW files.
Adobe: Please work with Fuji to bring world-class support for EXR Raw images.
Thank you,
William

Good day!
Adobe has not worked close enough, or at all, with Fuji to develop a Raw processor for the EXR pixel layout.
There seems to be a reason why Adobe has to reverse engineer RAW formats – the camera manufacturers don’t want their customers to use Adobe (and other) software to process their RAW files. (If their proprietary software gets better results then that’s understandable, but for how long are they going to support their own software?)
Now maybe Fuji is more cooperative than others, but do you know that for certain?
I've been using Adobe Photoshop for processing images for years, but have no compelling reason to upgrade without a proper conversion for Fuji RAW files.
If the new/improved features of Photoshop CS6 have no significance for the way you process, manage, edit and touch-up photographs feel free to stick with whatever version of Photoshop you use currently, but be aware that hardware/OS changes on your side may some day make that version inoperable on your set-up.
Also the upgrade path has been cut down to one version, if I understand correctly.
Anyway, this is a beginners Forum, feature requests might be better posted over at

Fuji XT1 RAW files

Has anybody any idea how soon Fuji XT1 RAW files will be able to be processed in Aperture 3

In the meantime let them you know you want the support by going to Apple - Aperture - Feedback
Don't know if it helps but can't hurt.

How to import RAF format raw photos taken by Fujifilm X-T1 to Lightroom 4.4? RAF raw files cannot be recognised by Lightroom 4.4

Fujifilm X-T1 is on the list of cameras with RAW file format supported by Lightroom, but I fail to import the RAF raw format photos taken by Fujifilm X-T1 to Lightroom 4.4 with the error message "Lightroom can't process the RAW files". Is there a way to fix it?

Fujifilm X-T1 is on the list of cameras with RAW file format supported by Lightroom,
It is but Raw support varies depending on the version of Lightroom. Newer versions have more Camera Raw support than older versions.
The column on the right hand side says "Minimum Lightroom version required" for the Fuji X-T1 is 5.4.
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Raw support is never added to older versions of LR retrospectively so Lightroom 4.4 will never be able to read X-T1 Raw files.
Your choices:
Pay to upgrade to Lightroom 5, or
Download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all X-T1 Raw files to DNG format then edit the DNGs in Lightroom 4.4

RAF (RAW) Files

I have a Fuji FinePix S5000 digital camera, which takes RAW photos in a '.RAF' format. iPhoto cannot import them, which I presume is because the camera is not in Apple's list of officially supported devices. I was just wondering: whether or not RAF is the standard extension for RAW files, why the support of RAW format varies so substantially between cameras, whether or not they are likely to extend this support in the future, and whether Aperture is likely to solve the problem.
Thanks.
(I see similar topics about this, but I'll post this anyway)

I am using a Fuji S2 Pro and was pleased to see Apple
inable raw file, but after buying i photo 5, I
realized that it that they did not support the Fuji
raw files!
Very disappointed.
Has any one been able to get an answer from Apple?

Are you sure that .RAF files aren't supported? I'm pretty sure that iPhoto supports .RAF as does Mac OS 10.4.3. I don't own a Fuji yet, but I plan on purchasing an S3 in the next week.
On this Apple webpage - http://www.apple.com/macosx/upgrade/cameras.html
Most Fuji FinePix cameras are supported, this includes the S1 & S2 which both produce .RAF files
To my knowledge, that means Aperture should support .RAF files.

DNG profile with Fuji X100s raw files...

Hi,
I'm trying to make a dng profile for my Fuji X100s (I did the same recently for my Canon 5dII).
Because I shoot architecture and interiors, I profiled for daylight, tungsten, and flourescent light (I also did this for the Canon with success, much improved color, sepecially in fllourescent light).
With the Fuji x100s, the daylight profile was good, the tungsten seemed very desaturated, and the profiler kept giving me an error message for the flourescent light saying there was an extreme color cast on the grey patch and it couldn't create a profile (I tried 2850, 6500, and "both tables"). The grey patch on the flourescent card was reading (aprox) 3200K and +50 Magenta, so not off the charts, so to speak....
Why is this? Is it to do with the type of sensor in the camera (Xtrans CMOS)?
Thanks,
Alan.

JPGs are relatively small, and raw files relatively big, so if there is an issue writing data to the card where it corrupts after a certain amount is written, then the raw file could be the only file with enough data written to it thing that is corrupt. If every single raw file is corrupted the same way and none of the JPGs seem to be then it may be something else related to raw files on the computer, like the computer memory, or the drive that the camera-raw cache is on, or even a virus-scanner locking a file at the wrong time when it is written or read. The other thing to watch is that the raw files have an embedded JPG preview in them that may be ok, as well, and only when LR interprets the raw data will the corruption be visible. The embedded JPG preview is what you see in the Import panel grid and is also what you see momentarily just after you’ve imported, before LR has a chance to recompute a preview from the raw data.
To see both raw and jpgs in LR then you need enable the LR preference to treat raw and jpg files separately, for future imports so what you’ve already imported will stay the same, until you do a Synchronize on the folder Once you enable that preference then you can synchronize the folder to have LR reimport just the new (newly visible) JPGs.
The most important initial test to do is transfer the same set of files from the card to the computer more than once—you’ll have to disable the duplicate checking temporarily—and check if they have precisely the same corruption in each copy of the image or if it looks different. If it is the same then the data is likely bad on the card. If it is different, then the photos may be ok on the card and something in the transfer process or the computer, itself, may be bad, and there is hope you can mitigate the problem and get the uncorrupted raw data, somehow.

FUJI X100T raw files in lightroom?

Hi, i have the latest Lightroom CC.
i have the latest Fuji x100t, and i can't import or read the RAW files!
help.

I took delivery of my x100T yesterday and am surprised to discover this. I had read so many discussions of different RAW processors for the files coming from other Fuji cameras (eg the immediate predecessor x100S and XT-1) that I had NO IDEA the files in this little machine would be so different as to need a dot-release.
This is a pain! Off to download Capture One.

Wont do you any good, Capture One hasn't released support for the X100T yet.

When will Photoshop CC be able to read FujiFilm's new FinePix S1 RAF (RAW) files?

Fuji's FinePix S1 was only released a couple months ago. Don't confuse this with the 14-year-old Fuji S1-Pro.
As of April 24, 2014, the latest RAW conversion table does not include the FinePix S1 which means that I have to use their rather awkward SilkyPix RAW file converter to make TIFF files before opening them in Photoshop or Lightroom.
Any ideas of when Adobe will recognize this new RAW format?

This is a user to user Forum, so you are not really addressing Adobe here, even though some Adobe employees thankfully have been dropping by.
But this is not the Camera Raw Forum.
Furthermore: Have you contacted Sony as to what their reasons are for not using DNG or working with Adobe to make their new RAW Formats usable in ACR in time?
(Camera makers’ preferring their proprietary software for RAW conversions may be perfectly legitimate if the results are superior to Adobe’s, but is that always the case?)

Fuji X10 Raw Files

Is it posible to find out if Apple intend issuing an update to Aperture 3 to process Raw files from a Fuji X10 camera.

Yes, you will lose a lot of resolution by using Adobe DNG or any other third party Raw Converter.
For best results, use the in-camera Raw Converter.
I suggest that you read and digest the following:
The dpreview Fuji X10 Review
http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/fujifilm-x10/
Extract;
We appreciate in-camera Raw conversion in any camera, but with the X10, this control is absolutely crucial. Why? Because third party support for the X10's raw files is far from universal among the more popular raw converters on the market. And even worse, among the raw converters that do support the EXR sensor, the results are disappointing.
The inevitable downside to a non-standard sensor design is that it requires a different set of demosaicing algorithms for optimum results. In the raw converters we've used - including the SilkyPix version that ships with the camera - image resolution and fine detail are significantly worse than the X10's in-camera JPEGs. The converted Raw files appear very soft and are clearly not displaying the best image quality the sensor can produce. You can see this for yourself on both the Raw mode and studio comparison pages of this review. As it stands, you get significantly better image quality in terms of sharpness and resolution from processing Raw files in-camera than you do with external software.
Try using the X10 settings recommended in this article:

Raw update breaks camera support for Fuji X10 raw file.

Just a headsup, do not update!

Only Apple can asnwer the "Why?" questions, I'm afriad.

'Lightroom has stopped Working ' - Fuji .RAF files - Anyone else?

I'm generally enjoying using the Beta version (especially the new Development Sliders) - but while the above error message has occured
only rarely when processing .CRW RAW files, it occurs most of the time when trying to work with Fuji .RAF RAW files from my X10. Almost any attempted use of the
Develop Mode causes the program to stop working. My computer has 8GB RAM - Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit and Intel Core Duo 3.06 GHz processor.
Anybody have any similar issue or comments? No problems occur with my 3.6 Version.
I am looking forward to the Final Version 4. Thanks for all your know-how and efforts with this program.

I have a very similar problem with psd files, less frequent with dng. LR4 is uses 50% of available cpu cycles. System is similar with 6GB memory.

Why doesn't Aperture 3 recognise RAW files from my Fuji F550EXR?

I have just bought a Fujifilm F550EXR, partly because of it's RAW capabilities. I am an existing Aperture 3 user (Canon 5D Mk II) and have found it very good at working with the RAW files from that SLR. After shooting some test shots with the F550EXR, I now find that Aperture 3 doesn't recognise them. Surely Fuji's RAW file format has been around long enough for Apple to incorporate it into it's RAW converter. Why doesn't Apple support Fuji RAW files?

Hi all,
the problem still exists..
Aperture still does not support this RAF (I recently bought a Fujifilm F550EXR)
Others do..
I've just tested Adobe Lightroom, works great
with both, Fuji-RAF and NEF format (of my Nikon D80)
even free picture software does support this Fuji-RAW format
- e.g. "rawker", http://raifra.fh-friedberg.de/Mac/index-en.html
so its hard for me to understand, that the missing cooperation between Fujifilm and Apple is the problem.
I think, Apple regards it as too much effort to implement this format for (in relation) so few cameras..
Aperture 2 had no backup function for some month, and Apple did not care ..
(too much effort, too?)
