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!

I can confirm the issue with opening Hasselblad X1D II Job files taken during the tethering shooting with Hasselblad Phocus 4.2 has been fixed for me with LrC v15.4 and ACR v18.4 releases. I can import those files successfully in LrC.

Temporary solution. I downgraded to LR 15.2 and it works. Please Adobe, ADDRESS THIS SOON!

This is unreal that Adobe would know about this and not have it fixed 2 months later! What the heck? Thank God I did not updated our studio’s machine!

Is this fixed yet? I just ran into this when prepping my laptop for a location shoot. Thank goodness I checked. This is unreal. LR 15.3 Raw 18.3

No, I think there was an LR update since but this hasn’t been addressed. I really like all the other updates so hope they get on with a fix

Even with the updated Camera RAW to 18.3, LR can’t open fff files but PS2026 can. What the hell is the problem with LR ?

Adobe, c’mon, what is it? Recent updates:
— 👀 ACR v18.3.2, LrC v15.3.1
— ✅ Sony A7R VI RAWs — imported
— ✅ Hasselblad X1D II RAWs — visible
— ❌ Hasselblad X1D II RAWs taken with Phocus Tethering (Job files, FFF): “The file appears to be unsupported or damaged”.

The LrC’s About Box still shows ACR v18.3. Why?

Still no joy with LrC 15.3.1. Just installed it, still has the unsupported error message 😠

Two Photoshop fixes, zero LrC. Bravo, Adobe. May I skip my subscription payment next month?

Hello,
I hope there will be an update for Lightroom Classic. The problem is still not fixed.

Thank you,

I’ve updated to Camera Raw 18.3.1 and Photoshop 27.7. Now I’m able to open Job FFF file in Photoshop via ACR UI. The photo is taken in tethered mode with my X1D II. LrC 15.3 still does not work, but its About box shows ACR 18.3. Why?
The same thing with Sony A7R VI files. They’re still not imported to LrC but are opened in Photoshop + ACR 18.3.1.

I’ve been thinking LrC shares the same stand-alone ACR plugin with Photoshop but I was wrong.
