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.

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.

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:

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.

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

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?)

Raw files show as icons in bridge

I recently upgraded from cs5 to cs6, I have downloaded upgrades for photoshop, bridge, camera raw, and adobe dng converter.
My problem is that the raw dng, and raf raw files from my fuji x-e1 camera are showing up in bridge as icons only, and not as thumbnails. How do I get the files to show as thumbnails. if I double click they will open in camera raw and i can see the pic there.

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.

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).

CCan photoshop ipad open fujifilm raw files (.raf)

It can ***if*** the RAF file is uploaded to Creative Cloud first and then added in PS Touch from there. (And only then your limited to just importing the RAF image; there isn't any RAW editing like in Camera Raw or Lightroom. Still handy though as you won't have to save in another image file format.)
ON EDIT: I'm assuming supported RAF/RAW file formats here; Adobe constantly updates their flagship products to support new cameras. Give it a shot anyway.

Fuji F550 EXR RAW files

I used to be able to view and process Fuji F550 EXR RAF raw files but now cannot. I have tried upgrading to LR4 but the same issue. I assume this is a bug as I used to be able to work with these files.

My suggestion would be to install the 550 firmware from Fuji’s support site. It looks like there is a .DAT file to download along with an installer executable so should be ok to do at home. Someone at Fuji must have made a mistake when they installed the firmware, or else they actually replaced the insides of the camera with some 500 parts so the 550 FW wouldn’t work anymore. If updating the firmware messes something up then I’d ship it back to Fuji and tell them to put the right firmware on it:
http://www.fujifilm.com/support/digital_cameras/software/#firmware
For existing files, you can use a hex-editor like HexEdit http://www.physics.ohio-state.edu/~prewett/hexedit/ to change the three 500s to 550s at the beginning of each RAF and Adobe software will recognize them. You need to tab over to the human-readable text area – make the brighter block over on the right side and the grayer block over at the left before you start typing the 5 character, otherwise you’ll be entering in a 5 as half of a two-digit hex number which isn’t what you want to do. You have to save the file from the hex-editor to get the changes to stick and I’d suggest NOT saving over the top of the originals just in case you make a mistake.
There is probably a way to change various EXIF things for many files at once using ExifTool but I’m not sure how without researching a bit:

Opening raw file (.raf) from Fujifilm x100s with Elements 10

Hi -
I am unable to open .raf files created by my new Fujifilm x100s camera. I have PSE 10. According to Help --> Updates, I have the most current versions of everything installed. My ACR Version is 6.7.0.339.
I see references tro Adobe Camera Raw version 7 but it looks like that version is not compatible with PSE10, only PSE11.
Sticking with PSE 10, what is the latest version of Adobe Camera Raw that I can use and that will support opening .raf files from the Fuji x100s? I'm afraid to attempt installation of ACR 7 without assurancesd that it will work with PSE10.
Thank you for your help,
Frank

In working with RAW files from my Fujifilm X-Pro1 I am able to bring up a RAW (RAF) image from Bridge into the RAW application and make the changes I want. When I try to bring the image from the RAW dialog screen into PhotoShop however, I get only a blank white box. The image does not appear. Any suggestions?

RAW files in Iphoto open as JPG in PSE10

I have a new Mac Air, and have been using Iphoto '11 (9.4.2). I downloaded PSE 10 through the App Store. In Iphoto I have clicked the "advanced" tabs to use PSE 10 as external editor and to export files as RAW. However, whenever I try to open a RAW file in PSE 10, it becomes a JPEG. This is true for both NEF (Nikon d300) and RAF (Fujix-100) files. It is also true whether I try to open the file through Iphoto by clicking the edit button (with PSE 10 as the external editor), or opening the Iphoto file directly through PSE 10. Also, when in Iphoto, it shows the file accurately as either NEF or RAF), and I can use the RAW editing in Iphoto.
Meanwhile, PSE 10 has no problem opening either type as RAW when I use a source different than Iphoto, for example from the memory card directly out of the cameras.
I feel there must be a simple solution to this, but I'm sure not finding it. Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Case

They are only preferences that regenerate automatically as soon as you restart the program. The only program where deleting them will cause problems is OS mail.app, if you use that. Never delete prefs there because they hold your mailboxes in recent versions.
Okay, you want to delete the following in addition to the iphoto plists in my previous post:
com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 paths
Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 settings
All the files are in your username>library>preferences. If you are using 10.7 or 10.8, that library is hidden. To see it, in the Finder, click the Go menu and hold down the Option key. It will appear below the little house for your user account. Also, in 10.7 and 10.8 there is a folder in that library called Saved Application States. Go in there and delete any for PSE and iPhoto.
Repair permissions and try again

Thumbnail Preview for RAW Files Not Appearing in Bridge

Hello,
I'm running Adobe Bridge 5.1 on a Mac OS 10.9.2 (recently upgraded to Maverick) and I can no longer see thumbnail previews for my RAW files (which include .NEF, .CR2 and .RAF) though as of a few days ago this wasn't a problem. Not sure if it's related to the Maverick upgrade... but FYI, I do see thumbnail previews for .TIFF and .JPEG files.
I've already purged my cache generally and have also as a test chosen a local file to purge - that didn't work.
I've restarted Bridge at least 2x by pressing and holding the Option key.
I've also checked for Bridge updates - everything is up to date.
My Cache Options (within Preferences) are set to "Keep 100% Previews in Cache" and "Automatically Export Cache to Folders When Possible" - both checked.
Also downloaded the Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter 8.3, installed it but that didn't work.
I can't seem to find my Bridge cache folder or at least what's in the Library's "Caches" folder doesn't include anything for Bridge - see screenshot below.
Please help! Thank you in advance.

To me it seems related to your Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) converter. Clue inhere is you only miss the Raw files and have no problems in seeing other formats like jpeg and tiff.
The screenshot you delivered is from the wrong library, however, this same library (the one on system level) also is the location where you should be able to view the correct version of your ACR plugin. The path: library (same as per your screenshot)/Application support/ Adobe/ Plug ins/ CS6/ File Formats. inhere should be only one version of Camera Raw (called: "Camera Raw.plugin") and this should show version 8.3 (141).
I'm not sure about your bridge version number, Bridge 5 comes with PSCS6 but my most recent version of Bridge is 5.0.2.4.
Anyway, if you have only one ACR (8.3) installed in the above mentioned path then you might want to try to delete the Bridge plist file and Bridge cache file manually.
For this you have to Quit Bridge and find the user library (by default hidden, use menu Go in Finder and press option key to reveal).
Inhere find the plist file (user(your user name) / library / Preferences and inhere find and manually delete the file called: "com.adobe.bridge5.plist"
The in same user library find Bridge Cache. User/Library/Caches/Adobe/Bridge CS6. Inhere are 2 files, the adobe Bridge plug in cache and the folder called Cache. delete (or move outside libray) both items.
The restart Bridge (If needed also again hold option key to reset preferences) and this will create fresh files for the previous deleted items, leaving you with an almost out of the box factory set version of Bridge.
