Dear all,

I have recently acquired a long wanted DP1 Merrill. I shoot raw and thus have to deal with X3F files. I have been using Capture One for a little while now and am quite happy with it. However X3F files are not - to my knowledge - natively supported.

I tried SPP, but... It is clunky.

and has limited functionality !

I am thus curious to know what is your usual workflow to edit X3F files : do you use SPP, do you export as a TIFF (or else...) and then use you prefered editing application, etc... ?

I currently use the Sigma Photoshop add-in to process my 
Sigma files directly for the X3F Raw files. The raw files are brought into Photoshop as a PDF file and processed in Camera Raw and then photoshop if more downstream processing is necessary,  80+% of my images are completed i Camera Raw.

Prior to the Sigma add-in my workflow was SSP to Tiff then to Lightroom or Photoshop.

Hope this is helpful to you,  

Your feedback would be very helpful,

Regards,

MG
