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.

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... ?

Your feedback would be very helpful,

Regards,

MG

I use SPP, and then I use GIMP, Aperture, or RawTherapee on exported jpegs or 16 bit TIFF files, which I export in ProPhotoRGB color space. You can get an open-source converter to make your .x3f files into .DNG files. It's called Kalpanika.
