Hi all

I have a set of 300+ photos shot as compressed RAW with my X-E3. Now the Photos app on Mac OS (Big Sur) does not like that format.

Answer: User Adobe DNG converter (free) that can convert batches (full directories, also recursively if wanted) of compressed Fuji RAW files to DNG files.

Just import the DNG files to Photos app like you would normally - et voilà!

Thanks!

Doing so will demosaic the RAFs irreversibly with Adobe's crummy X-Trans processing. If you're going to convert to DNG, you'll get far better results using Iridient X-Transformer ($36) instead.
