Fujifilm X-T3

I have just purchased a new Fujifilm X-T3 & cannot upload the RAF files to Lightroom, I can on my X-Pro2.

I have updated the latest versions of Lightroom & mac up dates too, still no luck.

Please can any one suggest a solution?

Thanks

Tim

    Lightroom does not yet support the X-T3. It will soon.

    Cameras supported by Camera Raw

    Fuji XT-3 RAW files

    You'll have to use Fujifilm's own software until support is added to Lightroom.

    So, I'm reading that LR supports XT3 Raw now. I updated Creative Cloud and LR but it still doesn't recognize my RAF files. What am I doing wrong. I have LR CC Classic.

    Do you mean an update for the XT3, or an update for Lightroom?

    What application now opens your XT-3 RAW files? Lightroom? Or something else?

    I've updated Lightroom today and it still can't open my XT3 RAW files.

    FUJIFILM X RAW STUDIO is a free Fuji application to read all their RAW files.  The problem that I see is that you have to install on your PC, then connect your camera via USB and utilizes the X Processor Pro in the camera instead of the CPU in the computer to do the conversion.  Despite the fact it’s the camera that’s performing the RAW conversion, the RAFs have to be physically on your computer for it to work (so NOT on the SD card of the camera).  You can only convert X-Pro2 RAFs with a connected X-Pro2 camera, and only X-T2 RAFs with a connected X-T2 etc.  All the while, you hope that the camera battery does not run out if you have hundreds of files to process.

    I have found that Phase One "Capture One Express Fujifilm currently reads the Fuji X-T3 RAF files.  It is free to Fuji camera owners and it has some editing features, however, not as many features as the FUJIFILM PRO version which is a paid version (subscription or perpetual) licensing.  You can import RAW Fuji files, add wide variety of edits, label, rate, keyword, filter and then output them in a variety of formats, JPEG, TIFF, DNG, PNG etc.  I will be testing the quality of the resultant DNG with the same in LR when they finally support X-T3 and other new cameras and their formats.  If I like the quality of the conversion better, I may permanently change my workflow and just import DNG's into LR.

    But that is the huge advantage of X RAW Studio. You will always receive the high JPEG quality straight from your Fujifilm camera. Having the RAFs physically on my computer is a none issue as well. Either plug in the SD card of the camera or transfer the photos to your PC. You have to do the same thing with every other post processing software as well.

    The battery shouldn't be an issue. Every camera that is supported in X RAW Studio and was released after the X-Pro2 can charge via USB. So you are not only processing the images on the camera but charge it at the same time.

    If you want to transcode to DNG you could also try the X-Transformer by Iridient Digital. The quality of the resulting DNGs is very good and it is a very cheap software for what it delivers.

    Hi stover14

    I suggest to download the C1 and - important - on first run select on the licence menu that pops up "More".

    There you'll find a Fujifilm Express version which is fully free.

    It is of course missing many features of the pro version, and you may use it only on Fujis RAW files.

    However: In terms of developing Fujifilm RAF it is a dramatical improvement over Lr/ARC and is fully aware of the X-Trans layer. No more micro worms and ugly noise reduction. C1 develops RAF files in a brilliant manner, also if shot at ISO 3200 and higher, noise reductions is superb and no problem.

    And it is fast.

    You may import all your existing files and folder structure and must not move or double somethings. Only a little additional space is used on disk for the C1 Catalog. To do so, select in the import section of import dialog "Current Location" for the destination folder.

    More info here Capture One software compatible with FUJIFILM GFX and X Series cameras now available | Fujifilm Global , you'll find there also a download link (you may download any of the latest C1 versions, just be careful at first start if you want to go with the free one).

    Have fun,

    Roland

    I agree with you Roland, the processing of RAW files is much better in Capture One than in Lightroom.  I use the Pro version so I can't comment on any limitations in the Fuji only version but everything I am doing in in Capture One from tethering to processing of the images, to me, is much cleaner with better results.  I also love not having to jump to a develop module to edit the images and the customizable interface I can modify for my workflow.  For anyone wanting to convert there are a number of good YouTube videos on switching and the best way to handle your catalogs.

    The Fuji version is available in both Pro and Free versions. The free version is what you now get free of charge with all Fuji cameras and has some limitations. The Pro version is exactly the same as the normal Pro version except that it can only import from Fuji cameras.

    To be honest I don't really care when they update Lightroom. The quality that I am getting from capture one is far superior to anything I got in Lightroom. I also like the fact that in Capture One not everything I put in has to be in my catalog I can have individual sessions for specific shoots. If I could find a comprable replacement for Photoshop I would drop Adobe completely.

      cewells You could try out GIMP. The user interface is somewhat intimidating at first but especially thanks to G'MIC it is extremely powerful. I know some photographers that even do their RAW processing in GIMP. It's not as easy to use as Photoshop and does have a steep learning curve but as it is open source and therefore free to use its worth a try.

      I also heard that some people use Krita for retouching and some editing steps. Not as powerful as GIMP but easier to use and open source as well.

      Due to Adobe taking this long to release an update supporting this camera I am getting more and more reluctant to buy an iPad Pro with Lightroom CC for editing and instead think about purchasing something different and use X RAW Studio and Capture One and receive better IQ and faster/better Fujifilm support on top.

        Seeing as Lightroom doesn't support XT3 RAF files yet, I'll be shooting in FINE at a football match today.

        I'm hoping there won't be too much image degradation. Indeed, JPEG out of Fuji tends to be pretty good.

          I downloaded SilkyPix Pro9 which was recently released. It supports the T3 compressed RAWs and got the Fuji Film Profiles. I don't like the user interface and the slowness.

          Capture One processes the X-T3 raw files beautifully.  You can try it free for 30 days if you need to process the files within the 4-6 weeks being estimated here for Light room and Photoshop to be compatible.

          I use this converter to open my X-T3 Raw-files with the Fuji film profiles and save it as a tiff. Then open it in LR, works fine for me till Adobe updates LR:

          All I am getting on my card is the folder FFDB when opened I get FFXFER.Dat

          Iridient X-Transformer.app does not work with this information.

          The images were captured in both raw and jpeg and show up on the camera screen.

          What am I doing wrong?
