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.

I always recommend RawTherapee for serious photography work. In addition to having been (at least originally) written by a complete colour theory geek and featuring a treasure trove of knowledge in the form of its companion RawPedia, it supports a whole host of raw formats, X-Trans RAFs among them (although Foveon X3Fs regrettably still an open issue).

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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

Smart move of Fujifilm. That will the future of software licencing with AI breaking copyright. Software will come encrypted and only run on secure processors. AI will push us further into an age of cloud, software DRM and software patents. The rest will be effectively public domain.

AIs will reverse engineer the processing algorithms based on observing a few example inputs and outputs...

I appreciate RawTherapee too and used it for a long time, but I started to notice that it really can’t match DPP for rendering Canon raw images. The denoising is nowhere near as good and it takes a lot of work to make the colors come out as good as DPP which has same processing profiles like “Faithful” that just look great out of the box.

Its hard to get anyone not to capitalise three letter words and best to just have a longer product name.

This is pretty impressive work.

On a related note, Fuji’s simulations being locked to their walled garden has been an issue for third party tools forever. All “replications” of on device are just that. And never comparable.

I think a lot of people would like to study how they work to create true replications.

RAW gets all caps the same way TXT, JPG, CMD, SH, BAT, and etc. get all caps. That is, you are also perfectly free to say raw files, text files, JPEG files, command files, shell scripts, and batch scripts, or .txt files, .jpg files, .cmd files, .sh scripts, and .bat scripts, and not everyone uses the same convention (or even consistently a single one).

Funny, I've been shooting digitally since 2007 and I've never seen RAW spelled other than RAW. I guess we've been doing it all wrong :shrug:

To be fair, it's essentially de facto convention at this point in the ecosystem, regardless of what's "right" or "correct". No one is gonna bat an eye regardless if you write RAW or raw either.

Love this - had contemplated different setups for getting raw studio running on linux but gave up before even trying. This is exactly what I wanted - a way to play with different recipes, no install required.

It bugs out for my XT30 because the profile is a different format, but claude was able to figure out a tweak to get it running and hide some of the features the XT30 is too old for - will do the wireshark thing from a windows machine at some point.

Thank you!
