Fujifilm XT-3 raw file is not supported in Photos Hi everyone!I just got my Fujifilm XT-3 camera and I captured some awesome images using it. However the Photos app in MacOS does not allow me to import the raw format photos (either compressed raw or uncompressed raw), says unsupported raw format. I can’t even get a preview of my pictures. It’s really weird that XT2 uncompressed raw photos are supported but not XT3. The XT3 raw photo is exactly the same as XT2’s (also x-pro1 x-pro2, etc..) using the same algorithm to create .RAF raw photo files. The only difference is the EXIF data and the size of actual image data. Is there any way to make Photos app compatible with my XT-3 raw photos so I can at least get a preview of it? It’s really important for us photographers to have our photos organized and Photos is the best one I have ever seen. I have all my previous photos stored in Photos library and I want to keep using it if possible. Thank you so much for the help!!Have a nice day!

Editing RAW format images in Photos I am shooting pictures in RAW Format on my Olympus Tough TG-5 camera. When I download them into Photos and try to edit using the RAW image as original - selected from the Image Menu - I get the message that Photos cannot process or does not recognize the RAW image. Why? I am using OS X Yosemite ver. 10.10.5, Photos ver. 1.0.1 (215.65.0) with the brand new Olympus Tough TG-5 Camera.

RAW support is specific to each camera - here is the latest list of supported cameras - Digital camera RAW formats supported by iOS 11 and macOS High Sierra - Apple Support

If your camera is not on the list of supported cameras, use the software provided by Sony to develop the RAW files and to convert them to another lossless format like TIFF. Then use the TIFF files in Photos.

Or try the Adobe DNG Converter to convert the RAW files to DNG and use the DNG files in Photos. See: Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Adobe DNG Converter 10.3
