Cant import Fuji RAF Files into Lightroom

Hello,

Ive just purchased a FUJI XT1 (Ver 3.00) and updated the firmware. I went out shooting in RAW and unfortunately I can't import my new photographs.

In Lightroom (5.3) it says that "Preview unavailable for this file".

So I went to Adobe DNG Converter (8.7.1) and it doesn't recognise the RAF files.

Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance!

If you are talking about the Fuji X-T1 then you need to have at least Lightroom 5.4 installed. The DNG converter should work. But I suspect you didn't use it properly. The DNG converter prompts for a FOLDER that contains raw images. You need to choose the folder but not open it. Then the DNG converter will find all of the raw images in that folder and will create DNG copies.

If you are talking about that model, you should be able to open the original raw images if you update to the latest version which is Lightroom 5.7.1.

I have a fuji x100t and I also get the your files are not recognised message. If I save in raw plus fine, lightroom 5.4 won't import the jpegs. If I save the jpegs to the desktop, lightroom will import but by then they're too small and no use. I cannot update as my pc is really old and I don't process that many photos. I tried using LR mobile but that doesn't import .raf AND it compresses the files to Facebook size so is useless

A couple of things you can do:

To import the JPEG's make sure you tick "Treat JPEG files next to RAW files as separate photos" in the General preferences and you will see the JPEG's in the Import Dialog
Or convert the RAF files to DNG and import them as DNG's, to do that follow the instructions below after downloading the DNG converter from the following links, depending on your PC operating system:
- MAC ... Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Adobe DNG Converter 9.4
- Windows ... Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 9.4

After installing the DNG converter copy your X100T RAF files into a directory, open the DNG converter and convert the contents of the directory to DNG.

You will then be able to import those DNG (RAW files) into Lightroom 5.4

Thanks for the suggestion - I just get the message "no embedded originals were extracted". I have tried and tried! At the moment I'm just converting to jpeg in camera but obviously I'd rather not...

H‌i phil323uk and alans88066064,

I have a fujifilm xt10 and using Lightroom 6.

after shooting in raw for some reason the RAF files could not be imported to Lightroom 6.

Tried converting to dng as well and still no luck.

‌Support for the X-T10 was added in LR 6.1, make sure your version of LR is up to date, the latest version is 6.3.

You haven't stated which camera the files are from.

But make sure you have updated to LR 6.3.

Okay so I have LR 5.7.1 and the Fuji X-T10 and LR is saying the .RAF is an unrecognised(?). I don't think I'm doing anything 'wrong' or at least differently to when I import from my 7D.

The XT10 requires LR 6.1 or newer. You have to pay for an upgrade to LR 6.x or a subscription to LR CC, or use the free DNG Converter to make DNGs from the RAFs and those DNGs will open in your obsolete LR version.

Here is the reference of what version of what software is needed for each camera model: Cameras supported by Camera Raw

The latest version of the DNG Converter can be downloaded from near the top of the Adobe Updates page:

This is happening to me also... Have a new Fuji XT10 and it's saying the same thing as ALim.. I also have lightroom CC (I got this especially so I could finally see my photos!) but it's still not recognising.......

In Lightroom (5.3) it says that "Preview unavailable for this file".

The X-T1 was first supported in Lightroom 5.4.

Update your version 5.3 to the current version 5.7.1.

Either convert them to DNG with the free Adobe DNG Converter; or upgrade Lightroom.

Hello,

Ive just purchased a FUJI XT2, replacing my FUJI XT1, and I use a Mac.

I went out shooting in RAW and unfortunately I can't import my new photographs.

In Lightroom (5.7.1) it says that "Preview unavailable for this file".

Any suggestions?
