Fuji S5 raw

The S3 is on the compatible RAW list, but the newer S5 isn't. The S5 is great, but the software it comes with is abysmal. I don't suppose anyone knows when the S5 might be added? or how long it usually takes to get new cameras added?
Thanks
Power mac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Years to never. Oh, sorry I thought you were talking about Sigma x3f raw support... my bad.
The SD cameras are great, too. And the included software isn't abysmal and has supported Mac from day one. Maybe the foveon approach is too "artsy" for them. (Hey, isn't Apple "artsy"?)
I am tired of exporting 16bit Tiffs into Aperture- starting to feel just like PC on the Get a Mac adds where he's all big and bloated.
I dig aperture, but my whole hardware setup is unsupported (printer too). I feel ya.

Fuji RAF (raw) files

How do I use Fuji RAF (raw) files? What file do I need to download for my Photoshop CS5?
Message was edited by: backlash2

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.

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 x100 RAW compatibility?

I read on the Aperture 3 support page that it supports Fuji x100 RAW photos. But when I just imported some, while it showed thumbnails during the import process, when the images themselves were imported, each and every one showed as a black box saying "unsupported format."
Any advice?
Thanks

Fuji X10 RAW

Why supports iphoto on the new iPad the Fuji X10 RAW and a professional software like Aperture not?

I don't think iPhoto on iPad "supports" the Fuji X10. I think it's just displaying the embedded JPEG preview and not the actual RAW data.

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.

Fuji X10 raw image distorted

Adobe raw for the fuji X10 outputs a distorted image, the image is also cropped horizontally.
When opening a X10 raw file (.RAF) in adobe raw, the following unexpected results:
about 3% is cropped from horizontal field of view (symmetrical, both sides)
the image is then "stretched" to fit the horizontal resolution
the status indicates a dimension of 6144 x 4608 pixels (the open dialog showed 4000 x 3000)
the image is stored as 6144 x 4608 pixels
Attached are 2 images, 1 converted by the camera, the other by adobe raw.
Converted by camera:
Converted by adobe raw (version 6.6.0.261):
I find this quite annoying. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks.

You are right!
Somewhere in the raw process with both silky and ACR converters pixels at each side are discarded. The pixels of about 1 cm of the yardstick (see picture) are not used. The camera's converter does utilise these pixels, BUT squeezes the image to a 0.96 : 1 ratio. This ratio is 1:1 longer focal lengths, the "pixel loss" is then nearly 0.
The pixels might not be output to the raw file or are discarded by the convertors. Perhaps this is done because of quality degradation of corner pixels / coverage at short focal lengths. I'll test to see if it is also related to aperture. NOT an adobe raw issue I should say.
Lower half of image: more pixels at the sides with jpg from camera
Image is squeezed when processed by camera

Fuji X100 RAW conversion

Hello all,
I have noticed that the RAW files from the Fuji X100 when opened in Aperture (v. 3.5), compared to the in-camera processed JPEGS:
1) are significantly more saturated, especially in the BLUE channel (but also in the red one)
2) show a noticeable vignetting
3) show chromatic aberration (while the in-camera JPEG don't)
Did anybody else notice that? It seems clear that Aperture does not correct for vignetting and chromatic aberration (which is NOT good), but also tends to blow out the saturation for the blue....
thanks for any comment
giuseppe

What should be have been changed, Leonie?
The over saturated colors. I did not expect lens correction to be added by a simple raw compatibity update, but we have seen problems with oversaturated colors been caused by faulty raw updates, for example Camera Raw update (4.08) :
See My 2012 iMac is on acid NEF files stopped being displayed on iPhoto and Preview, and all pictures are turning red in my library for examples.
This problem was fixed with Camera Raw update (4.09), but it may have introduced a problem with oversaturated colors, as seen in the examples above, that is why I have been asking -hoping that a new raw compatibility update might solve any such problems.

Fuji S5pro raw conversions turn dark

Hi all,
This is my first post here. I searched the forum but did not find anything about this topic.
I use Aperture as my main workflow for processing and organizing my photographs. I use Fuji S3pro and S5pro, the S3 exclusively jpg, but S5 largely Raw (RAF-files). As you might know, Fuji RAW files are quite different due the the s- and r-pixels of the SuperCCD. Many RAW converters had initial problems with those files. I started using aperture in May last year (Aperture 2.0).
Everything was fine, actually I was surprised. I found Aperture conversions not to be any worse than ACR. The only nag is that 2 of the sliders do not work, but I could live with that. At some stage end of last year I installed an Aperture software update (don't remember which number it was). After that, most imported Raws from the S5 turn medium to heavily underexposed. In the import window the pics look fine, just as on the camera screen. Once imported, during the thumbnail creation process, most of the pics turn underexposed. I can often correct it by shifting the exposure slider to max, but this always leads to increased noise levels. Opening the same file in ACR/CS3, no problem, the files are fine.
So I think something in that software update messed up the RAF file conversion. Interestingly, files imported before the update remained fine. My workaround has been to open the problematic files in CS3, convert them to TIFF (or JPG) and then re-import them to Aperture. This is however no solution on the long term. I use Aperture because I like the smoothness and speed of the workflow (I shoot wedddings and events and have to process large bulk of files in short time). The wedding season is now ahead, and I am a bit worried. I do not want to shift to Lightroom because of that.
There have been newer software updates for Aperture, but none of them was a remedy for that problem.
Has anybody who uses Fuji DSLRS (or any brand) experienced similar problems, or does anybody know any remedy for this issue?
Any input is highly appreciated
Cheers
Gilbert

Gilbert
Many thanks for bringing this matter up and apologies for not getting back to you sooner on your first post here.
Just out of interest I took some test images on my S5 to see if I could assist you.
I took RAW images (RAF) with the dynamic range set to 100% at 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600 and 3200 ASA.
I then repeated the above, but with the Dynamic Range set to 400%
I was able to reproduce your problem.
So - I did a further test to narrow it down and find that the moment you go over 1000 ASA (i.e. from 1250 ASA and above) AND as soon as you use anything other than a Dynamic Range of 100% - then the images will be underexposed in Aperture.
But - if you stay under 1250 ASA, irrespective of the Dynamic Range - all is OK
Or - use JPEG rather than RAF as the issue does not appear
Not a solution - more a workaround
Hope this helps

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.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5634178#5634178

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 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.

Fuji X10 RAW demosaic / sharpening quality

The Fuji X10 still has in Lightroom 4 this original poor sharpening with lots of reticulation.
We have been promised that this poor aspects which may result from an incomplete
demosaicing, would be scrutinized a little more carefully in upcoming releases.
It seems like this has not happened yet in LR 4.1 RC2 and knowing that the development team
has other priorities in complex demosaicing (Fuji X-Pro1), it may be good that the team also have a look
at this with Fuji to get this fixed.
Can someone in the development team can provide us some info/status on that?

The 4.1 update did not resolve the issue.
The DPReview in depth review has been published and, for the first time ever, I read that the camera generated JPG outperforms the developed Raw file by a large margin, mostly due the radically different non-Bayer sensor design.
I'm going on vacation in less than a week. I'll be shooting Raw+JPG knowing that, for the most of the shoots, I'll be going for the JPG version.
This is a serious issue for general workflow, where JPG version is meant to be treated as ready made preview while waiting for the Raw file to be demosaicized. Now the Raw and the JPG shouldnt be treated as a whole, because of the difference in size and quality. They become effectively two different shots. I can't rely on proper camera calibration for the Raw alone, so the look&feel of the photos I'll take with th X10 won't be as homogeneous as expected.
To tell the truth the X10 is just a walk around camera I bought for casual occasions and for my best half. My D300 will do the heavy lifting. I naively thought that I could have treated my X10 Raw files as any other NEF. Just normalize and add a bit of spice. I was wrong.
Let me state that I admire so much the work of Eric and his collegues. Lightroom is a piece of art. X10 support, however, is mediocre at best.

Fuji X100 raw support ?

Fujiguys on twitter indicate that there is no plan to bring X100 (.raf) raw support in Aperture, but only to 3rd party Mac software. Why that ? Does Apple has plans to bring this support to Aperture users ?

I hope Apple and the other lot get their act together soon.
I believe Fuji has to make the specs available first in order for others to support the format. And although it was announced back in September, those specs weren't final until the first production units started shipping - this month. From what I've seen and read the Silkypix based software that comes bundled with the camera is far from perfect - I've seen serious problems with highlights on one example. So for me it's a question of getting it right and not simply getting it out the door.
I agree the jpg's from it are impressive, but they don't give you the raw file.
Totally agree with you. To me, shooting JPEG only is like throwing away negatives. But it's nice to know they've done such a good job internally. It makes the camera that much more interesting and the wait a little more bearable. RAW+JPEG a must though.
This camera is a game changer in the bigger scheme of things, and will be used by a lot of influential photographers.
Looks that way but time will tell. I for one am totally sold and can't wait to pick up my pre-order. I haven't been this excited about a camera in a long time.

Fuji X10 RAW support on the way?

Are there any information regarding the support of the new Fujifilm X10 RAW files?
Unfortunately the RAF files are not the same like the X100.
There are already some rumors out there, that Apple is not going to support the X10...

I must admit - I am getting more and more tired of being an apple slave.
They published the latest camera update for aperture:
Canon PowerShot S100
Nikon 1 J1
Nikon 1 V1
Nikon COOLPIX P7100
Olympus PEN E-PL1s
Olympus PEN E-PL3
Olympus PEN E-PM1
Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ150
Sony Alpha NEX-5N
Sony Alpha SLT-A65
Sony Alpha SLT-A77
Still no RAW support for Fuji X10 - well done Apple!

Fuji S5 Raw Images and Processing

Hi
I am thinking of upgrading my Nikon d40x to a Fuji S5 and wanted to make sure this was 100% compatible with Aperture (which I use a lot). I have downloaded a RAW image and found that it works apart from the recovery and black point, is the file only then compatible with Aperture 1.0 and 1.5?
Any help welcome

Have you tested it yet?
Send me a file if you want and I will try it?
