PM doesn't display Hasselblad X2D RAW files
« on: April 15, 2024, 09:23:05 PM »
Having recently purchased a Hasselblad X2D 100C I'm disappointed to find that the RAW files can't be viewed in Photo Mechanic Plus Version 6.0, build 7102 (796dd4a). If I shoot RAW+JPEG, I can see the JPEGs but the RAW files are not displayed if I shoot only RAW. Interestingly, PM ingests the RAW files (they can be seen in the Finder after ingest) but there is no preview in the PM Contact sheet. I am running a Mac Studio M1 Ultra with Sonoma 14.4.1. Is this behaviour that Camera Bits expects? If so,is there any workaround?

Photo Mechanic views the embedded JPEGs in RAW files to provide a preview. Hasselblad does not embed JPEGs in their RAW files like nearly every other camera manufacturer does. If they did that, we could support their files almost instantly.
