Hasselblad’s FFF. formats are not supported anymore

Problem occurs in both Mac OS 15.5 (24F74) & Windows 11 pro (Betriebssystembuild: 26100.7840)

When opening fff. files in the newest Bridge (16.0.3), Camera RAW Plugin (18.3.) opens and creates an error, claiming the file format is not supported. Same Problem occurs with the newest Lightroom Classic (15.3). The Import is not possible cause the file format is not supported.

Thank you for your help!

LRC 15.3 broke my H6D-50c .FFF raws (but the older H5D-40 flies appear ok) - I’ve reverted to the older release of LRC.

Hello, Can you please give us a feedback? As you can imagine we are all professional photographer. So, if you don’t fix it we will change software. Come on, we are in 2026… hurry up!

Same Problem (Br, Ps and LrC). I can open and edit some .fff files, but not all. Unable to figure out the similarities within these files. So I:

deleted the .xmp files
deleted the cache
duplicated “successful” xmp-files and renamed them
edited .xmp-files and altered the values crs:Version and crs:ProcessVersion
edited .fff files in Hasselblad’s phocus software
reinstalled Adobe software

Still unable to view / edit ALL files.

What worked (even though not an option):

converting .fff files in Hasselblad’s phocus software in .dng files (of course without the .xmp values)
installing ACR 14.5 (unable to display certain masks)
viewing / editing .3fr files (non-thethered / SD-card import)

It all went south after installing ACR 18.3...

I hop Adobe will solve the problem as soon as possible. It changes my entire workflow.

I have the same problem. I have macOS Tahoe 26.4.1 and Lightroom Classic 15.3 and Camera raw 18.3.

I did a test with Affinity 3, no problem… It’s clearly a bug. I hope it will be settled very soon

Bonjour, depuis quelque temps, j’ai des problèmes avec les fichiers FFF de mon X2D Hasselblad. Aucun problème avec le fichier 3FR. Le fichier FFF est généré par le Phocus le logiciel d’Hasselblad quand je travaille en mode connecté. Le problème n’est pas seulement avec les nouveaux fichiers, mais aussi les fichiers déjà dans mon catalogue. J’ai un message qui me dit « Le fichier semble être endommagé ou ne pas être pris en charge ». Avant, il n’y avait aucun problème. Est-ce un problème de la dernière version de Lightroom Classic?
