Fujifilm X-T1 RAW Files: Open, Cull & Edit .RAF Free

The camera that established Fujifilm's X-series as a serious enthusiast system, popular with street and travel photographers drawn to its dial-based controls. Film simulation presets encouraged a lot of exploratory shooting to compare looks in-camera. Reviewing those variations against the neutral RAW data is where most of the post-shoot editing time goes.

Editing X-T1 files with imagic

imagic opens .RAF files from the Fujifilm X-T1 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 14-18 MB per frame. The 7-day trial is full-featured and needs no card; licenses are one-time, from €19.
