Fujifilm X-E3 RAW format not recognised in High Sierra Photos

Question

Fujifilm X-E3 RAW format not recognised in High Sierra Photos

According to this page, there is support for RAW files of Fujifilm's X-E3. However, I'm not able to import such files in the native Photos app. It says that the format (RAF) is not supported. I tried shooting JPG+RAW and RAW only, both with compressed and uncompressed RAW files - without luck.

Is it, contrary to the help section, not supported yet, or did I miss something?

Mac OS 10.13.3

Fujifilm X-E3 firmware version 1.10

MacBook Air, macOS High Sierra (10.13.3)

I'm not sure why it's not working for you but I downloaded 3 RAW Fujifilm's X-E3 files from Sample galleries and they imported into Photos just fine. Did you try and import them directly from the camera or from its SD card or?

Thanks for your answer! Apparently, I did not shoot in uncompressed mode. I tried it again and uncompressed files indeed work. However, the help page does not say that compressed RAW won't work for the X-E3.

Your link was to the Fujifilm X-A3 gallery. Here is the Fujifilm X-E3 gallery. When I attempt to import these .RAF files from the X-E3 gallery into Photos on High Sierra 10.13.3, it refuses with the unsupported file type reason.

In macOS High Sierra 10.13.3 Supplemental, within System files, there is no dng.adobe.fujifilmx-e3.cam file, but there is a raf.fuji.x-e3.cam support.

FWIW, I believe CountryGirl has left the building.

About this…

In macOS High Sierra 10.13.3 Supplemental, within System files, there is no dng.adobe.fujifilmx-e3.cam file, but there is a raf.fuji.x-e3.cam support.

Do you think it's just a typo on Apple's part because they do state the X-E3 is supported on the Raw support page.
