Comments
Great to see more Fuji X attention, their native software isn't great. Looking forward to trying it out with my older X-T20, which appears supported[1] surprisingly
I was about to mention the Fudge[2] app and its underlying library, but its already listed as a reference, nice!

Love this - had contemplated different setups for getting raw studio running on linux but gave up before even trying. This is exactly what I wanted - a way to play with different recipes, no install required.
It bugs out for my XT30 because the profile is a different format, but claude was able to figure out a tweak to get it running and hide some of the features the XT30 is too old for - will do the wireshark thing from a windows machine at some point.
Thank you!
Worked!! Samsung Galaxy fold 7, Chrome 146.0.7680.153, GFX 100S II firmware 1.20
MacOS 15.6.1 - could see the camera via PTP but couldn't connect (clicking "connect" didn't do anything, no error)
While file format (RAF, DNG) often is an acronym, “raw” by itself simply references raw image data; it is not an acronym, not a trademark, and does not need all caps.
The mistake of “shouting” raw is perpetuated in the wild even by serious companies, but let’s not let Apple degrade our literacy[0]. I’ll point to Adobe which does, in fact, use the correct spelling[1].
[0] It is fine when used as part of idiomatic spelling of their product or trademark (“ProRes RAW HQ”, etc.), but IIRC their promotional materials and even developer docs do shout it when simply referencing raw image data, which is a little ridiculous.

This is pretty impressive work.
On a related note, Fuji’s simulations being locked to their walled garden has been an issue for third party tools forever. All “replications” of on device are just that. And never comparable.
I think a lot of people would like to study how they work to create true replications.
> FilmKit uses WebUSB to connect directly to your camera, your camera's own image processor handles the conversion. FilmKit is a static client-side app, hosted on Github Pages
This is amazing. Thank you. Seems to be working just fine with X-H2.
The only reliable raw converter that can handle Fuji color is Capture One. But they have collaboration with Fuji, I don't believe that conversion algorithm is open sourced.
But it would be interesting if AI coding agent could potentially reverse engineer the algorithm.
Wanted to edit camera profiles on Linux, couldn't get the official app to run in Wine, so I built my own https://filmkit.eggrice.soy
I also personally find the original app infuriating to use, takes a lot of click & wait to modify a profile.
This is amazing, thank you for launching it. I know this webapp itself will make me more likely to look at raw photos on my Fuji once again.
Interesting, I’ll check it out. But just like X RAW studio, I bet that it won’t work with my old X-E1.
A ChromeOS Platform application, rather.
I have a Fuji X-T5 camera which I haven't really used, and have almost no workflow for.
Could someone explain what this software does?
And I'd also appreciate any software and workflow people use.
Would prefer Linux software, but macOS is okay if the quality/ ease of use is too different.
