Fuji raw files

how to ope fuji raf files in pelements12?

Hi,
The X-T1 requires camera raw 8.4 or later.
In the editor go to the Help menu and select About plug-in -> Camera raw to check which version you have.
Try updating your version by going to the Help menu and selecting Updates.
Then you should be able to open a raw file.
If it fails, please tell us which operating system you are running on.

Is Fuji RAW files supported in iphoto ?

I have been trying to down load my RAW files from my fuji 9000. I have all the lates updates 10.4.9 and iphoto 6. I read in another post that fuji raw files should be supported, but i still get unknown files downloaded. Am I doing something wrong ? should i be turning some feature on in iPhoto or in the system ? At the last MacWorld I was encouraged and inspired to shoot more and to shoot more in RAW by all of the speakers. any help would be appreciated.

Joe:
According to iPhoto 6: Supported RAW format cameras if it's a FinePix S2 Pro** or FinePix S3 Pro** camera then it's supported.
Do you Twango?

When will we get better handling of Fuji raw files?

Why is it that Fuji raw files (I'm using a Fuji X-T1 camera) are treated so badly in Lightroom? I have just tried Irident Developer and just exporting random photo of my son with default settings in Irident got me a vastly better result than I able to get from Lightroom.

Joergen,
I was quite concerned myself when reading some of the posts about LR processing X-trans files, even after the fix done in LR 4.4 (Adobe's Fujifilm X-Trans sensor processing tested: Digital Photography Review)
What I noticed though, is that the articles with "comparisons" are biased and usually talk about "detail" and trying to "fix" it to no avail. My experience with every single raw file available was, however, that it is possible to do a much better job with LR than what the articles present, leading me to think that the authors are either clueless or marketing agents in disguise.
Moreover, some of the files that are presented as "better" are in fact quite over-sharpened showing an obviously digital result.
My recommendation is to try and see with your own eyes. I was able to test the packages using trial periods and finally ended up sticking to LR for the overall way it handles the images.
Here go a couple of raw files for you to try:
Dropbox - DSCF2432.RAF
Dropbox - DSCF2425.RAF
100% comparisons between LR (PROVIA profile) and OOC jpg (PROVIA Film Simulation):
1.A 2.B
2.A 2.B
Any preference?
1.A and 2.A are the Raw files processed with LR. 1.B and 2.B are OOC JPG, PROVIA

Import fuji raw files

Is there any way for Aperture 3 to import Fuji RAW files? Lightroom does.

X1 Pro - RAW not yet supported. Understand it takes a little while as it's a new sensor type but Lightroom has caught up now and Aperture is supposed to be a serious photographers' tool; just as the Mac has always been a serious photographer's computer.
Come on Apple....!

Lightroom's poor conversion of Fuji RAW files

I am on the verge of switching to Capture One due to Lightroom's poor RAW conversion capabilities of Fuji RAW files. Before I do jump boat, I thought I'd ask whether anyone had actually heard as to whether Adobe were going to do something about this. i am not impressed by Adobe lack of performance & communication.

Mark Alan Thomas,
You see only half of the story. The Problem with JPGs is that this file format applies a "lossy" compression, and with each <save> "unnecessary" pixel information is deleted and lost irretrievably. And this happens each time the JPG is re-saved. So after a few saves the JPG is of very poor quality.
Even with LR that saves edits in the catalog and not in the pixels, you cannot avoid multiple <saves> of a JPG., for instance by exporting.
Also, how many quality settings for JPGs do you have in your camera? I have three: fine - normal - basic. And I have no way of knowing if "fine" corresponds to 100%, 80%, or 75%, or even less. I have practically no control over the quality of your JPG but maybe your camera gives you more control?
IMHO JPGs should only be used for
- e-mail;
- web-use;
- delivery of Lo-res for layout purposes.
The only scenario where I can see a pro shooting JPG is this: You cover a sports event for a sports magazine. The game is on a Sunday and starts at 3 PM and ends at 5 PM. The deadline for the magazine is at 5:30 PM. There is no time to edit Raw images. The photographer has to shoot JPGs and send them off to the magazine right after the game has ended. Maybe there are a few other scenarios that would justify shooting JPGs.
But if you value quality - forget JPPGs.
I use JPGs for the above stated three purposes. But I create them in Lr only when I need them. And I delete them regularly after a while.

Fuji raw files from iPad Camera Roll to Lightroom Mobile

I can not transfer Fuji XE2 Raw files from my iPad Camera Roll into Lightroom Mobile. They will transfer from Lightroom 5.4 into mobile and can be edited which proves mobile can handle them. However not a lot of good for location use!
Does anyone else have this issue? Is there another way of transferring files within the iPad other than from camera roll?

Thanks for the quick response, although disappointing to hear. Surely that rather defeats the object!
Once you have them on your regular computer why would you then want to transfer and edit them on an iPad? I'm off on a weeks holiday and want to work on them while away.
There are other iPad apps that can import raw files but as I already use Lightroom I was hoping to use their mobile app.
What a let down!!

Fuji raw file problems

Lr 4.4 dng file looks much worse than jpeg out of my Fuji 770exr camera ... why would this happen? Thanks

Screen-shots of what you’re seeing will help responses be less than wild guesses as to what you’re seeing. Converting to DNG doesn’t change exposure and doesn’t add lines to an image so something else is going on.
Regarding the overexposed and washed out shots, Nikon cameras have an ADL (Auto Dynamic Lighting) setting and Canon cameras have an ALO (Auto Lighting Optimization) setting, which cause the camera to automatically fix bad exposures before it writes the JPG. If your Fuji camera has such a setting, and you plan on shooting raw, then turn off this auto-fix setting, because it is just hiding poor technique or challenging lighting situations and will be confusing when you work with your raws in a non-Fuji raw converter like Lightroom.
Lightroom does have a Auto Toning button that you can press to get LR’s attempt at auto-fixing the exposure but it doesn’t work in many situations, especially the Auto Exposure settings. I usually click LR's Auto to get the Black and the White sliders set and then undo the Exposure setting which is usually not right, having adjusted itself based on a small specular highlight or bit of overexposed sky that isn't part of the subject and darking the whole shot unnecessarily.
About horizontal lines, without seeing what you’re talking about, it could be a number of things: high-ISO noise banding from the sensor, video-driver issues on your computer, bad-memory chips on your computer, corruption during transfer, hard-drive failure, where except the high-ISO niose, all might be a change to the raw data after it gets to your computer and have nothing to do with LR or your camera.
Are you shooting RAW+JPG and comparing the camera jpg and LR-DNG of the same shot?
Besides screen-shots, an actual DNG, or preferably the raw file before converting to DNG, along with the corresponding JPG if you're shooting RAW+JPG, would be helpful for others to look at, here, to see if the same issues are apparent on their computers or not. This would help narrow down if it is a hardware issue on your side or something LR is doing. You cannot attach a large file to a forum message, but you can upload one to www.dropbox.com or www.skydrive.com or similar large-file-hosting service, and post the public download link to it, here, in a message.
You also should be using the latest LR 4.4 with Fuji cameras that have the new X-Trans sensor. Converting to DNG with prior versions of LR (< 4.4) or a previous version of the standalone DNG converter (<7.4) will have a sub-optimal demosaicking algorithm applied which kills detail, especially color detail, neither of which seem to be what you're describing but it would be useful to understand if you are using LR 4.4 or a previous version.

Fuji XE-1 RAW and LR 5--Does LR 5 recognize Fuji RAW files?

I currently have LR 3.6 and cannot open RAW files from my Fuji XE-1 camera. I would be tempted to upgrade to LR 5 IF I was assured that Adobe has updated its RAW converters to include this camera

Fuji raw files support

I've got a macbook air Processore 1,7 GHz Intel Core i5, Grafica Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB, Software OS X 10.9 (13A603), Aperture version 3.5.1, raw 5.01 build 718.1, digital camera raw support 5010, build 91.8.
When browsing thumbnails of the raw files from Fujifilm X100s or Fujifilm xpro-1, the image disappears and a meesage comes out saying that file type is not supported. Sometimes they work for a while than suddenly get into the error and don't work any longer.
Is there a solution or shall I throw away Aperture and move to Adobe?
Thanks in advance for your attention.
Gianluigi

Raw support is camera specific - it needs to take into account the sensor characteristic, and if possible, the lens.

The sensors do differ, the lenses are treated differently, the X-E2 can record 14bit raw. It definitely needs a different raw support.

Fuji raw file support

With the long delay for X-E2 raw support, how can I be assured that Apple is truly committed to stay current and cutting edge? This delay makes me, a prospective Aperture user, a bit hesitant. Fortunately, the X-E2 and X-T1 update came together, but the E2 was announced 5 months ago!

You're not talking to Apple here just other users. If you want assurances of Apples commitment to Aperture you're asking in the wrong place.
Unfortunately there is no right place to ask because Apple will never respond to the question.
You're first post sure seemed like you had reservations about buying and using Aperture, you yourself said you were "a bit hesitant" about it. If I was "a bit hesitant" about any vendors commitment to software I was thinking of buying I'd look elsewhere.

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

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?)

Fuji x-trans raw files import extremely slow

WIn 7 pro 3.6 AMD quad core 16 gb ram 1.2 tb raid 0 WD Velociraptor drives. Lightroom 5.6
I have a fairly quick system and my 24mp Sony raw files import and render full sized previews reasonably quickly -but it takes about 5x longer for my Fuji X-T1 raw files to import and render full size previews. If I import into Capture One Pro 7 or 8 or into Photo Ninja both the Sony and the Fuji files import and render previews quickly. It is only Lightroom that is so incredibly slow with the Fuji raw files.
I have used LR since version one and my files have always imported reasonably fast , however, the Fuji raw files have been slow to import from the very first import. Ex - yesterday I imported 312 raf files (Fuji raw files) and it took 31 minutes to complete. I also imported 257 Sony raw files and the import plus full sized preview rendering was completed in just under 5 minutes.
Am I missing something in the preferences or import workflow?
Thanks for any help
BOb

Thanks for the quick reply! :-)
The setup is identical as when I work with my Nikon-files; I always start by "manually" copy the files from the memorycard to correct location/disk.
In LR I use the "Add" option when I import to my catalog, so the file transfer is not part of the equation....
Even the large files from Nikon D810 is faster to "add" than the files from the X-T1.
But, as you write, it might come down to X-Trans-files (RAF) is not as optimal for Adobe processing as the Nikon raw files (NEF)...

Fuji X-E2 raw file help

So, I updated from my X Pro 1 to the new Fuji X-E2, now LIghtroom doesn't recognize the file. I have a Lightroom 5 that I can install, but it wants a newer version of Windows. Is it possible to get the new Fuji X-E2 files to be read in Lightroom 4? Please help, this is very frustrating.

http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
The link above will provide details of the cameras that are presently supported by Lightroom and which version.
Lr 4 requires Windows Vista or later.
Support for the Fuji X-E2 needs LR 5.3 or ACR 8.3.
To get LR 4 to work with Fuji X-E2 raw files you will have to use the Adobe DNG Converter 8.3 to convert the Fuji Raw files to DNG and then import into LR 4.x

Has Lightroom been updated with a good RAW Converter that will work with Fujifilm X-T1 RAW files?

Hello,
I just purchased a Fujifilm X-T1. The camera produces excellent jpeg files. However, I prefer processing my work in RAW. Unfortunately, I'm having trouble deciding to upgrade with Adobe if their RAW converter is not up to par with Fuji.
Fujifilm renders images on their sensors differently than conventional Bayer sensors like Canon, Nikon, Olympus etc. Fuji uses an X-tran sensor with pixels arranged in a different pattern.
This has presents a new challenge because now one has to buy a third party in order to process Fuji RAW files and this disrupts the workflow between Lightroom and Photoshop.
I really love using Adobe and hope they will come up with a fix for this.
