This is really cool! I see you’ve got screenshot of it running on Android, could this ever also work on iOS? I tried in iOS on Chrome, but I just see “WebUSB not supported. Use Chrome, Edge, or Brave.”.
> FilmKit uses WebUSB to connect directly to your camera, your camera's own image processor handles the conversion. FilmKit is a static client-side app, hosted on Github Pages
While file format (RAF, DNG) often is an acronym, “raw” by itself simply references raw image data; it is not an acronym, not a trademark, and does not need all caps.
The mistake of “shouting” raw is perpetuated in the wild even by serious companies, but let’s not let Apple degrade our literacy[0]. I’ll point to Adobe which does, in fact, use the correct spelling[1].
[0] It is fine when used as part of idiomatic spelling of their product or trademark (“ProRes RAW HQ”, etc.), but IIRC their promotional materials and even developer docs do shout it when simply referencing raw image data, which is a little ridiculous.
The only reliable raw converter that can handle Fuji color is Capture One. But they have collaboration with Fuji, I don't believe that conversion algorithm is open sourced.
But it would be interesting if AI coding agent could potentially reverse engineer the algorithm.
On a related note, Fuji’s simulations being locked to their walled garden has been an issue for third party tools forever. All “replications” of on device are just that. And never comparable.
I think a lot of people would like to study how they work to create true replications.
Love this - had contemplated different setups for getting raw studio running on linux but gave up before even trying. This is exactly what I wanted - a way to play with different recipes, no install required.
It bugs out for my XT30 because the profile is a different format, but claude was able to figure out a tweak to get it running and hide some of the features the XT30 is too old for - will do the wireshark thing from a windows machine at some point.
Great to see more Fuji X attention, their native software isn't great. Looking forward to trying it out with my older X-T20, which appears supported[1] surprisingly
I was about to mention the Fudge[2] app and its underlying library, but its already listed as a reference, nice!
When taking photo's on the Fuji it stores both RAW and JPG file - the camera's settings (film simulation, exposure, white balance, grain etc.) are all 'baked in' to the JPG. This app (and the official X RAW Studio) allows you to use the camera's onboard processor to modify the RAW files with these settings (or recipes, to use the term adopted by the Fujifilm community) after the fact, and re-export the photo as JPG. It's super useful for figuring out which recipes you prefer for different types of shot!
I'd also recommend checking out Fuji X Weekly [0] for recipe ideas and example shots if you want some inspiration.
I love how you styled the interface. The UI elements are minimalist and great looking. Did you take inspirations somewhere, or was it a from-scratch design?

[ 27.3 ms ] story [ 221 ms ] threadI also personally find the original app infuriating to use, takes a lot of click & wait to modify a profile.

MacOS 15.6.1 - could see the camera via PTP but couldn't connect (clicking "connect" didn't do anything, no error)

Thank you!

Could someone explain what this software does?
And I'd also appreciate any software and workflow people use.
Would prefer Linux software, but macOS is okay if the quality/ ease of use is too different.
