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).

I have one Foveon camera, any hope for Foveon X3Fs support outside of RawTherapee? DarkTable does not process them correctly either

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 spel…

This is one of those things as a pedantic technologist I've had to accept, like DJs referring to USB thumb drives they store their music on as "USBs".

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.”.

Apple doesn't allow any other browser engine than Webkit. So essentially all browsers on iOS are reskinned Safari.

You will have to wait until the WebUSB support lands in Safari.

Other browser engines are allowed in EU now.

The implementation used by libraw is just as good. Lightroom on the other hand is trash and wormy.

Doesn't Adobe Lightroom these days also have proper RAW conversion and the Fuji film simulations?

Unless something changed in the last 6 months, the answer is no. Their demosaicing algorithm implementation for fuji still lead to the worms. You need to use capture 1 or dcraw/libraw.

I have a Fuji X-T5 camera which I haven't really used, and have almost no workflow for.

Could someone explain what this software does?

And I'd also appreciate any software and workflow people use.

Would prefer Linux software, but macOS is okay if the quality/ ease of use is too different.

I don't really see "SH" being used instead of "sh". JPG and JPEG get the uppercase treatment because it is actually an initialism (Joint Photographic Experts Group) unlike "raw".

Some are more used than others, and indeed, JPEG is an initialism. My point is the uppercase treatment doesn't depend on initialism, i.e. RAW doesn't have to stand for something to be capitalized because uppercasing file extensions is just a thing that happens.

The way I interpreted what they were saying is that they were focused more on the fact that for raw files, the extension is not ".raw", it's ".nef" (for Nikon for example) so that's why it's questionable to capitalize it.

What a great project. Amazing work, thank you for shipping this.
