I wonder if something about this explains why Fuji RAF files are the only RAW files that make Lightroom struggle.
I never heard the fans on my M1 mac until I started processing those RAF files, they're not even that large but something about them makes Lightroom struggle. And judging by posts on photography forums, I'm not the only one either
- ImPleadThe5th 1y agoI moved away from Adobe recently and ended up trying out Affinity Photo. Opening a RAF file would regularly seize my entire computer. I always wondered if it was a deadlock situation, because it doesn't spit out any overflow errors.
- kjkjadksj 1y agoLightroom still is terrible for fuji raws from a worm standpoint. Almost looks like they use bilinear debayering. Dcraw is night and day better.
- jcynix 1y agoLightroom struggles with Fuji's unconventional sensor pattern. Other programs like Darktable, GraphicConverter, Luminar Neo or FastRawViewer don't make fans of my M1 audible.
- _7acn 1y agoI'm not sure what causes the terrible RAF handling in Lightroom, but it's a fairly well-known issue. Lightroom produces so-called "worming" and apparently this is related to the X-Trans sensor which requires a different decoding algorithm. On my end, I can recommend Capture One - the handling here is perfect, though you do have to get used to the UI unfortunately
