hello y'all

I converted RAF-files from my fuji x t20 camera to dngs with adobe dog converter. They look fine at a first glance but when I zoom into them they show an ugly moiree.

Mac OS El Capitan

Mac mini summer 2010

Photoshop CS 4

dng converter 10.4.0.976

Screenshot

Any ideas whats wrong?

Incamera developed images don't show these artifacts.

    If the problem is related to CS4 then Adobe won't fix it because that version has been out of production and totally unsupported by Adobe now for a number of years. It will never be fixed IF CS4 is the culprit.

    It looks like if you set Linear in the Custom DNG Compatibility, then the dng opened in cs4 5.7 cr looks like the same dng opened in camera raw 10.4.

    Hi Jeff,

    I had the default setting camera raw 6.6. when the moiree showed up. With the setting "linear" the moiree is gone but then I see other artifacts: "worms". I'm going to try out all possible settings later today. Let you know if one of them works. Thanks for your support!

    I see the same with photoshop cs4 and camera raw 5.7, but not with photoshop cc and camera raw 10.4 on mac El Capitan.

    photoshop cs4 cr 5.7

    photoshop cc 2018 cr 10.4

    Would you like to share one of the original RAF files via dropbox or Onedrive so others can give it a try?

    Well, here's a 1:1 section after I converted with DNG converter 10.4 and opened with Camera Raw 10.4:

    I looked at it at 3:1 (300% magnification) and it was still pretty clean. Didn't show any pattern like you displayed.
