Fujifilm X-H1 RAW Files: Open, Cull & Edit .RAF Free

Fujifilm's first X-series body with in-body stabilization, aimed at hybrid photo and video shooters. Stabilization encouraged more handheld low-light shooting, which increased the number of safety frames captured per scene. Culling those redundant frames down to the sharpest is a routine step in editing this camera's output.

Editing X-H1 files with imagic

imagic opens .RAF files from the Fujifilm X-H1 natively on Windows and macOS. Point it at a card or shoot folder and it builds previews, scores every frame for sharpness, closed eyes, and composition, and groups near-duplicate bursts — so a full shoot collapses to its keepers before you edit anything.

Processing runs through the bundled RawTherapee engine, entirely on your machine: batch-apply one look across the keepers and export JPEGs in a single pass. Nothing uploads, which matters at about 20-26 MB per frame. The 7-day trial is full-featured and needs no card; licenses are one-time, from €19.
