Anyone tell me how to read a RAF file please?

I am using PS Elements 8 and a Fuji X20 with *.RAF files.

The PS e8 is fully updated.

    Sadly the DNG software  does not do such a good job as the MAC OS (Preview).

    The converter program looses light and definition in the convertion.

    Pretty poor show Adobe!!!

    That's all down to the way you use the software. If you prefer the preview (made by the camera, not MacOS) then there's no point shooting Raw. There's a common misconception that Raw files are supposed to impress, straight out of the camera. They are "Raw" and need cooking. Camera JPEGs (and Raw previews) are already cooked. Shooting Raw enables you to be a better chef than the camera. Metaphors over.

    You are missing the point.

    I want my Adobe software that I already paid good money for to do the job.

    Adobe doesn't make a practice of adding new camera support to older versions of Photoshop that are no longer currently selling.

    If your camera is newer than your version of Photoshop, you'll want to do one of two things:

    1.  Use the latest version of Adobe's free DNG converter to convert your raw files to the .DNG format, which can then be read by your older version of Photoshop.

    -or-

    2.  Upgrade Photoshop to the latest version, which (assuming support for your camera has already been added) will be able to open the raw files directly.

    Reply. Thanks for the advice.

    If true this is yet another reason why I do not intend to buy anymore Adobe Software.

    But thanks all the same.

    Which of the multide of versions and updates would I need?

    It's obvious enout to me that a simple patch to my version of Photoshop would be easier for everyone, expecially Adobe.

    You bought a new camera...  Why not buy the latest new software to deal with its files?
