I just found that by connecting the X-T4 to the Mac to use the Fujifilm X Raw Studio software, it does not allow editing RAWs from other Fujifilm models (I have tried x-e2, x-t2, x-t3 and x-s10) nor does it apply no film simulations, neither the camera ones, nor the personal ones. It seems to me an important limitation on the part of the brand.

A quick skim of the "FUJIFILM X RAW STUDIO - Features & Users Guide" would have saved you the time you spent figuring this out. It is documented behavior.

Quote from the manual intro part: "Please note, the RAW conversion is only compatible with a RAW file taken by the same camera model as the camera connected to the computer. For example, if the connected camera is a FUJIFILM X-T2, the RAW file must be taken by a FUJIFILM X-T2."

And this is quite disappointing because I expected that RAFs should be interchangeable between technically identical cameras for processing, i.e. I own X-T20 and X-E3, which have identical sensors and all other capabilities, but I can't process the T20 RAF with E3 body attached and vice versa. Why, Fuji?

All I post is my own, humble, personal, subjective and highly biased opinion. It may change in time upon new facts and convincing arguments arrival.
