While file format (RAF, DNG) often is an acronym, “raw” by itself simply references raw image data; it is not an acronym, not a trademark, and does not need all caps.

The mistake of “shouting” raw is perpetuated in the wild even by serious companies, but let’s not let Apple degrade our literacy[0]. I’ll point to Adobe which does, in fact, use the correct spelling[1].

[0] It is fine when used as part of idiomatic spelling of their product or trademark (“ProRes RAW HQ”, etc.), but IIRC their promotional materials and even developer docs do shout it when simply referencing raw image data, which is a little ridiculous.

Wanted to edit camera profiles on Linux, couldn't get the official app to run in Wine, so I built my own https://filmkit.eggrice.soy I also personally find the original app infuriating to use, takes a lot of click & wait to modify a profile.

This is really cool! I see you’ve got screenshot of it running on Android, could this ever also work on iOS? I tried in iOS on Chrome, but I just see “WebUSB not supported. Use Chrome, Edge, or Brave.”.

Isn't that same as a jpeg then?

Edit: There are some parameters:

> FilmKit communicates PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol) over USB, the same protocol that X RAW STUDIO uses. The camera does all the heavy lifting: it receives the RAF file and conversion parameters, processes them, and returns a JPEG.

The only reliable raw converter that can handle Fuji color is Capture One. But they have collaboration with Fuji, I don't believe that conversion algorithm is open sourced.

But it would be interesting if AI coding agent could potentially reverse engineer the algorithm.

Like the native Fujifilm software, this does not do raw conversion itself. It uses the processor in the camera to do the conversion.
